Physical exam
All patients entering our care receive a full physical exam including; weight, eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, abdomen,
lymph nodes and skin. We get a full history to assess any issues that need to be addressed. This also helps us establish a plan
that works for you and your pet.

Wellness Visits
|
We also provide annual wellness exams with vaccinations. Our vaccination schedules are individualized to suit your
lifestyle and your pets exposure. We recommend all dogs are vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and
Rabies vaccines. After the initial series they are administered on a rotating schedule every 3 years. And we recommend
Bordetella (kennel cough) be given annually. Our practice is that all cats should be vaccinated annually to help prevent Feline Injection-Site Sarcomas
by using non-adjuvanted vaccines for both Rabies and Feline Distemper (FVRCP). All indoor/outdoor cats should have Feline Leukemia vaccines annually, given intradermally.
We follow all AAHA protocols in regards to vaccines.

Diagnostics
When a concern arises beyond your basic wellness visit, we are fully equipped to help. We have an in-house laboratory
where we can run CBCs, Blood Chemistries, and Electrolyte Panels, as well as test for several types of parasites, viruses,
bacteria, and yeast infections. We also have outside laboratory services available, that allow us to send samples for any testing that cannot
be performed in-house. Our well trained staff will be able to assist with diagnostics in radiology, endoscopy,
and ultrasonography.

Surgery
|
Our fully equipped surgical suite provides a sterile environment for all surgical procedures. Our surgery abilities consist of
routine spays and neuters, mass removals, certain orthopedics, exploratories, and the occasional emergency. Our anesthesia is low risk
due to continual monitoring of blood pressure, ECG, heart rate, and blood oxygenation. We also have the capability to perform all levels
of dentistry including routine cleanings, dental radiographs and extractions,
as well as filling cavities.

Referrals
In the event a case is presented that is beyond our expertise, we have access to a network of specialists that we can refer
you to, in order to continue your pets care. Please see our referrals page for more information.
