From the moment you walk in the door, you will be greeted by our experienced staff ready to assist you and your pet. With your pet’s history in hand we will ask you about any changes in your pet’s diet and behavior. Our doctors will complete a thorough examination and be sure that all vaccinations are up to date. We encourage you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have about your pet.

Dental Health Care
Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasonic technology to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup.
