BATHING

Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Our special, cleansing baths remove dirt, debris and that doggie pet odor - your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that stop the itching. Services also include nail trim, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression.

BLOOD TRANSFUSION

We maintain a supply of blood for cats and dogs in case of emergency. The blood is collected from donor pets that live with their owners, and all blood is carefully screened for disease.

BLOODWORK

With some of the latest technology, we are now able to perform blood chemistries, complete blood counts, and electrolytes here in the hospital in just minutes.

BOARDING

Pets are like our children - we feed, nurture and lavish attention on them. Our highly qualified kennel attendants do the same when you can't be there. We provide tender loving care and supervised individual outdoor playtime to keep them happy and active.We will also administer any needed medications or prescription diets.

DENTAL CARE

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasonic scaling 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. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

DIGITAL DENTAL X-RAY

This machine allows us to radiograph your pets teeth and check for damage below the gumline while we are doing a dental cleaning. This enables us to spot potential problem areas early and treat accordingly.

EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE

In any emergency, seconds count. Our experienced staff is backed up by our mobile resuscitation unit, stocked and equipped to administer the ABCs of basic life support - Airway, Breathing, Circulation/Cardiac compressions. Emergency care is offered during regular business hours. In addition, we use the services of a local, fully staffed emergency center.

Saying goodbye to a long-time friend is painful. We work with clients to ensure their pet's comfort and dignity. Services include taking care of the remains as directed by the client.

The ResQ Pet Tracking System is a safe and convenient ISO (International Organization for Standardization) -compliant microchip system designed to help reunite lost pets and their owners. ResQ is the first ISO-compliant microchip system for companion animals available in the United States and utilizes technology recommended by all major pet welfare organizations including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
