Our specific recommendations as to what vaccines are necessary to protect your pet from potential deadly diseases depend on your pet's age and lifestyle. Many controversies exist today regarding potential adverse reactions associated with overvaccination of pets. Your pet will be evaluated on an at-risk basis and then vaccinated accordingly.
If you have any specific concerns, we will discuss them in depth and formulate a vaccination program together to make sure your pet is protected but never
overvaccinated.

Just like humans, pets need regular dental care. Regular dental checkups are performed at the time of checklist wellness visits and include examination for tartar, gum disease, fractured teeth, or even cavities. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for cleaning, in order to prevent problems in the mouth from becoming serious. Most pets need prophylactic cleaning about once a year.

Our staff is well trained in the operation of our extensive in-house laboratory equipment to quickly assist in the diagnosis of your pet's medical problem. Quality control checks to maintain the accuracy of in-house testing and equipment are performed regularly. When minutes mean the difference between life and death, having the ability to rapidly perform tests is imperative.
We also rely on large commercial laboratories for some of our practice needs. Couriers pick up samples regularly and findings are usually reported by fax within 24 hours of submission.

The CO2 Laser has been used in the medical profession for over twenty years. It has been proven to be an effective surgical device.

Laser energy is focused through a hand piece. With a focused spot size of 0.2mm in diameter this energy serves as a scalpel. It becomes a non-contact surgical tool where the laser energy instantly vaporizes the intracellular water in tissue. This energy also sterilizes and seals small blood vessels as it cuts. With laser surgery there is no bruising or tearing of tissue.
Laser can be used for the following procedures: , , , , , , , , , and .

Losing a pet and going through a long, unsuccessful search could be heartbreaking. Over the past few decades, different methods of keeping track of our furry friends have been developed. However, none of these traditional means of tracking pets is as reliable as microchipping. Collars and tags come off, and tattoos can be altered with ink, or eradicated completely with deep scarring.
|
If you wish to increase your chances of recovering your pet in the event (s)he gets lost, you should consider the fairly new microchipping procedure. It is carried out in the same way as a vaccination. A tiny capsule, about the size of a grain of rice, is injected under the flap of skin on the back of the animal's neck.
Veterinarians and shelters usually have scanners that read the digital number on the chip inside the capsule. If your pet is picked up as a stray and (s)he is microchipped, a quick phone call to the microchip company will provide the owner's contact information, and your pet will soon be home safe.
A microchip is completely permanent. It can not be cut off or altered. If your pet is stolen or sold to a research facility (s)he will be returned. Research facilities will NOT take any animal that has either a tattoo or a microchip implanted.
