Yearly Office Visit with comprehensive exam- the best way to keep your animal healthy is to have a regular check up. Many people seems to believe that if a dog does not look sick it has no problems. This common misconception causes unneeded suffering for many pets.

While most flea problem start in the summer, these problems don't get really bad until September or October. Fleas are little heat seekers.

The Dr and his staff have lovingly cared for many of my animals over the years. I can’t say enough about how caring, kind, and professional Dr. is. He showed the same level of care and concern for my Guinea pigs as he did for my dogs and cats, which really means a lot. His staff is fantastic and caring as well. I am so thankful for this vet!
