Preventive care - beyond the basics

Wellness exams are more than just a routine check-up—they’re an opportunity to discuss how to keep your pet healthy and enjoying their life. During these visits, we’ll perform a thorough physical exam to check for any abnormalities, and discuss key topics such as:

Nutrition: Tailored feeding recommendations to meet your pet’s specific needs.
Parasite Prevention: Strategies to protect against fleas, ticks, and worms.
Vaccines: We’ll work together to determine which vaccines are right for your pet, taking into account their lifestyle, age, and health risks to ensure they get the best protection.
Behavioral Screening: Addressing any concerns about your pet’s behavior and overall well-being.
Early Detection Laboratory Screening: Catching potential health issues before they become serious.
Cancer Screening: Exploring options to detect early signs of cancer.
Breed-Specific Concerns: Managing unique health risks based on your pet’s breed.

By staying proactive with regular wellness exams, we can catch health issues early, provide personalized care, and help your furry companion live their best, happiest life.

What vaccines should my pet receive?

Feline Guidelines

Canine Guidelines

Vaccination is based on your pet's age, health, and lifestyle. Core vaccines are essential for all pets, while non-core ones are for those at risk. Our veterinarians recommend following the American Animal Hospital Association Guidelines for wellness care (links below). We look forward to discussing the best care for your pet at your next visit!

HEALING STARTS HERE

When your pet isn’t feeling well, we know it affects you, too.

That’s why we’re here— to provide compassionate, expert care when you need it most. As a full-service general practice, we offer comprehensive medical and surgical care for a wide range of illnesses and injuries. Whether your dog cut his paw on a hike or your cat kept you up all night feeling unwell, we’re ready to help.

We believe in a team-based approach to veterinary care. That means partnering with you every step of the way, keeping you informed, involved, and supported. We’ll take the time to walk you through treatment options so you feel confident making the best decisions for your pet’s health.

Surgical Care You Can Trust

From routine procedures like spays and neuters to more complex soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, we’re equipped to provide safe, high-quality surgical care for your pet. For advanced cases, we partner with board-certified surgeons Drs. Lauren Hamil & Brian Heiser, who perform specialized procedures right here in our hospital.

We understand that anesthesia is often a top concern for pet parents. That’s why every surgical patient receives a pre-op exam and bloodwork to help us tailor anesthesia to your pet’s unique needs. If there are underlying health concerns—like a heart murmur—we may recommend additional testing to keep your pet as safe as possible.

Before surgery, we’ll walk you through what to expect, including recovery, medications, and cost. Most pets go home the same day, and if overnight care is needed, we’ll help coordinate a smooth transfer to a trusted 24-hour facility.

Dog breath? That's a serious problem.

Let’s work together to keep your pet’s mouth healthy—and their kisses welcome!

Before a dental cleaning, we’ll do a physical exam and run appropriate lab tests to ensure your pet is ready for anesthesia and the procedure itself.

While your pet is comfortably under anesthesia, we take full-mouth dental x-rays and examine each tooth closely. This allows us to catch issues that can’t be seen with the naked eye. If we find problems that require treatment, we’ll contact you during the procedure to discuss our findings, treatment options, and costs.

In most cases, we can take care of everything the same day—so your pet leaves with a clean, pain-free mouth.
