What we treat

Services we offer

A full spectrum of emergency, surgical, and stabilizing care — administered with patience and precision, the moment your pet needs it.

Emergency and Urgent Care

Our staff is dedicated and well trained to handle emergencies of all types. If you’re experiencing an emergency, please call us immediately.

Vaccinations

We believe that one of the most important aspects of caring for your pet's health is vaccinating him or her against possible diseases.

In-House Laboratory

We can do many simple tests but are also able to offer some more complex ones, too! We are able to run heartworm tests, leukemia and FIV tests, and full blood work for those who are interested in it.

Radiographs

Digital pet radiographs provide fast, detailed imaging to help diagnose injuries, fractures, and internal conditions. This safe, non-invasive technology allows for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, supporting your pet's health and recovery.

Ultrasound

Ultrasounding is a quick and painless procedure. It uses sound waves to allow us to see inside your pets, without using the harmful radiation produced when we take x-rays.

Surgery

We want nothing but the best for our clients, especially during surgery. It is our goal to make sure that our surgical team is prepared to offer our clients the latest medical procedures.

Microchipping

Every year, thousands and thousands of pets go missing. Not knowing where your pet is or how to bring them back can be a helpless, hopeless feeling. It’s a tragedy that happens all too often.

Nutritional Counseling

If you have any questions about your pet's diet or would like more information about your pet's nutritional needs, please contact us today. We can set up a nutrition plan for your pet.

Wellness Exams

We believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pets' well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies.

The standard

Urgent doesn't mean rushed.

Speed and serenity are not opposites here. We move quickly because we are prepared — and we explain every step along the way.

i.

Rapid Diagnostics

Blood and radiology reports within the hour. We prioritize speed so treatment can begin without delay — every minute counts in urgent care.

ii.

Hospital-Grade Technology

Digital radiography, ultrasound, and a full in-house laboratory deliver immediate, accurate answers when your pet can't wait.

iii.

Unwavering Integrity

Honest communication and transparent pricing, even under pressure. We treat your pets as though they were members of our own family.

★★★★★

Have been going here for 40 plus years with both dogs and cats. The staff is great and down to earth. The new location, maybe 50 yards from the old one, is great. Even when we have had to put an animal down, the staff was compassionate without being phony.
