Services
Remember that for every year you have aged, your pet has aged 7 years, on average. That is a long time for changes to occur in the body. For this reason, we advise that your pet be thoroughly examined every year to assess your pet's overall health and discuss any changes we see, educate, and update you on advancements in veterinary care.
We offer an in-house pharmacy, which means that your pet will receive precisely the right medication at precisely the right dose. We're also available to show you how to administer the medication and monitor its degree of effectiveness. Ensuring that you have convenient and timely access to competitively priced medications is an important aspect of your pet's veterinary services.
We understand the decision for your beloved pet to undergo surgery is a very difficult one. Ensuring the health and safety of your pet is our utmost concern which requires an anesthetic and monitoring regimen that adheres to the highest principle and standards of quality care. With our highly skilled surgical team and advanced surgical suite, we are well- equipped to perform a wide variety of surgical procedures.
In addition to regular vaccines and examinations, it may be recommended for your pet to receive further preventative diagnostics in the form of blood screening and urine tests. We consider any animal over the age of 7 to be middle aged. By performing these tests on a yearly basis for our older companions, we are able to detect metabolic changed and disease at an earlier stage of progression.
