• Just like dogs, cats can get heartworms from mosquitoes. We highly recommend heartworm preventative in dogs AND cats. There are several options available.

• Ticks are vectors for diseases that can affect humans and canine alike. Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever are just a few. Protect your pet AND your family by using preventative. A Lyme’s vaccine for canines is also available.

• Parvovirus can stay in the environment up to 6 months. It is one of the many reasons your puppy should be well protected by getting its vaccine series. A follow-up with yearly boosters is then recommended.

• There is no waiting to discuss bloodwork when evaluating your pet’s health for kidney disease, diabetes, or liver dysfunction. In 10 minutes our in-house chemistry machines will have your results ready. Our complete blood count (CBC) analyzer is just as fast!

• Our surgery suite is equipped with a heated surgery table, EKG, and blood pressure monitor.

• Our in-house ultrasound unit allows us to check anything from bladders to pregnancies.

• Our licensed veterinary technician (LVT), Shannon, is adept at placing endotracheal tubes in surgery patients that range from cats and dogs to snakes and turtles.

• Microchips can be placed during your office visit, or while your pet is anesthetized for surgery.

• We can use a fine gauge needle to remove sample cells from a suspicious swelling or lump on your pet to determine if it cancerous or benign while you wait.
