What We Do for Your Pets
We believe that pets deserve quality care and love. It is our mission to make your companions comfortable, happy, and healthy.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness visits are recommended to help keep your companion healthy. These comprehensive exams can help provide preventative measures to detect and treat diseases early. Our nose-to-tail exam includes evaluating the heart and lungs, eyes, teeth, ears, skin, lymph nodes, abdomen, rectum, and musculoskeletal system. Vaccines based on your pet’s lifestyle will be recommended. We advise staying on flea and tick and heartworm prevention year round.
Canine
Our core canine vaccines include Rabies and Distemper-Parvovirus-Adenovirus-Parainfluenza-Leptospirosis (DHLPP). Optional vaccines include Lyme, Bordetella (Kennel Cough), and Bivalent Influenza. We recommend annual testing for tick diseases and heartworm. We offer a 4-in-1 snap test that screens for Lyme, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Heartworm diseases.
Feline
Our core feline vaccines include Rabies and Distemper (FVRCP: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia). Optional but highly recommended for outside cats is the Leukemia vaccine. We offer a 3-in-1 snap test for feline Leukemia, Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV/AIDS), and Heartworm diseases.

Spays and Neuters
Spaying and neutering helps pets live long, healthy lives. Deciding when to spay or neuter your pet can be a difficult decision. Depending on the breed of your pet, sterilizing at the optimal time reduces their likelihood of developing certain infections and cancers. Other common issues that spaying and neutering helps prevent include:
- Expensive and potentially life-threatening uterine infections called pyometras, which are preventable with spaying.
- Spaying your female pet prior to her first heat cycle will significantly reduce the likelihood of cancerous mammary tumors.
- Testicular cancer and prostate infections, including tumors associated with an intact male dog.
- Unwanted behavioral problems, such as aggression, territorial marking, and roaming.
- Ailments, such as abscesses, lacerations, and communicable diseases caused by aforesaid behavioral problems.
