We strive to provide the most up-to-date care and services by maintaining state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and pursuing excellence through continuing education and training.
Wellness Exams
Routine wellness care is key to a long, healthy life for your pet. We recommend annual exams, up-to-date vaccinations, and a proactive approach to nutrition, behavior, parasite control, and dental health. For senior pets, twice-yearly exams are crucial due to faster health changes.
Each visit includes a thorough nose-to-tail exam and a personalized care plan. Just like people, pets thrive with regular checkups—helping them stay happy and healthy at every age.
Surgery
Our team is committed to keeping your pet as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. We’ll also ensure you are fully informed about all pre- and post-operative care, so you feel confident and supported.
Our surgical services include:
- Sevoflurane/Isoflurane gas anesthesia
- Pulse oximetry and EKG anesthetic monitoring
- General, soft tissue, orthopedic, and ophthalmic surgeries
- Therapeutic laser treatment to promote healing and reduce post-operative pain and inflammation
Laser Therapy

Common Conditions Treated:

- Disc and ligament injuries
- Sprains, strains, chronic pain
- Oral inflammation
- Skin issues like hot spots
Key Benefits:
- Reduces pain & swelling

Laser therapy can be used alone or alongside other treatments to improve your pet’s comfort and recovery.
Radiography
- Orthopedics
- Internal Medicine
- Emergency Services
- And more
All radiographs taken at our hospital can be reviewed by a board-certified radiologist through VICSD Imaging Services, providing fast, expert interpretations.
Radiographs are a vital diagnostic tool, and our experienced, compassionate team is here to ensure your pet receives the highest standard of care.
Senior Pet Care
To catch health issues early and support a better quality of life, we recommend wellness exams every 6 months. These visits help us monitor for changes in behavior, weight, mobility, and organ function.
Routine senior care includes:
- Biannual physical exams
- Annual bloodwork and urinalysis
- Dental cleanings to prevent oral and systemic disease
- Pain and mobility evaluations
- Nutrition and weight checks
- Behavior monitoring for signs of cognitive decline
We’ll tailor a care plan to keep your senior pet happy, healthy, and comfortable.
