Services
Preventative Care
Regular wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive physical assessments. Our preventative care includes parasite prevention, nutritional counseling, and vaccination programs tailored to each cat's lifestyle. Early detection of conditions like dental disease or weight changes allows for timely intervention, maintaining your cat's long-term health while reducing future medical costs.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, digital radiography, and treatment for periodontal disease. Our ultrasonic scaling and fluoride treatments address plaque buildup while monitoring anesthesia ensures patient safety. Dental health prevents systemic infections affecting heart and kidney function, with extractions performed when necessary to relieve pain and infection.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from spay/neuter procedures to complex soft tissue operations using modern anesthetic protocols. Continuous monitoring with ECG, pulse oximetry, and temperature control ensures patient safety. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and individualized pain management plans support successful recovery from both elective and emergency surgical interventions.
Vaccinations
We administer PUREVAX vaccines protecting against rabies, feline leukemia, and upper respiratory diseases without adjuvant-related risks. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering each cat's specific exposure risks. Regular boosters maintain immunity against life-threatening viral infections like panleukopenia and feline herpesvirus.
Grooming
Professional grooming services include hygienic clipping, mat removal, and lion cuts under veterinary supervision. Nail trims and anal gland expression address routine care needs while sedation ensures safe handling for stressed cats. Annual exams ensure medical clearance before grooming procedures, with pre-anesthetic bloodwork recommended for senior felines.
