Wellness and Preventive Care
The core of our practice lies in ensuring your pets live long, healthy, and happy lives. Our wellness and preventive care services provide the proactive approach your pet needs to maintain their well-being. We believe in establishing a solid foundation of health and addressing potential concerns before they become serious issues. From the first meow or bark to their seasoned years, we are here to offer personalized, compassionate care every step of the way.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a vital part of your pet’s health plan. They protect against various diseases affecting their health and quality of life. Our vaccination protocol is tailored to your pet’s unique lifestyle and exposure risk. We’ll work with you to understand your pet’s needs and lifestyle, ensuring they receive only the most appropriate and necessary vaccinations.
Microchipping
We love our pets like family, and losing a furry friend can be heart-wrenching. Microchipping provides an added layer of protection to help you reunite with your pet should they ever get lost. This simple, quick, and safe procedure implants a tiny chip about the size of a grain of rice under your pet’s skin. Each chip carries a unique ID number that can be read with a scanner, making it easy to locate you as the owner if your pet is found.
Spay + Neuter
Spaying or neutering your pet can significantly benefit their health and well-being. These procedures can prevent certain types of cancers and unwanted behaviors and help control the pet population. Our team ensures that your pet receives the highest standard of care before, during, and after surgery. We’re here to answer any questions and guide you through the process to make it as stress-free as possible for you and your pet.
Puppy + Kitten Care
There’s nothing quite like the joy of bringing a new puppy or kitten into your home. Those first few months are a critical time for their development and health. Our puppy and kitten care services ensure your new friend gets the best possible start in life. We offer comprehensive wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite control, nutrition advice, and love. We’re here to help guide you through this exciting (and sometimes challenging!) stage of your pet’s life.

In addition to our puppy/kitten package, we recommend microchipping your pet. This will greatly increase your chances of getting reunited with your pet if it is ever lost or stolen.

Senior Care
As pets age, their healthcare needs evolve. Regular geriatric care is crucial to catching age-related diseases early and maintaining your pet’s quality of life in their golden years. Our senior pet care services are designed for the unique needs of older pets, offering comprehensive physical exams, bloodwork, pain management, and more. We approach aging pet care with empathy, patience, and a deep understanding of senior pet needs. Your pet has brought joy into your life over the years; it’s our privilege to ensure their later years are comfortable and fulfilling.
