Quality Care & Services

Hospitalization
Sick & Hospitalized Pets
We know your pet will feel more at ease with you at home but sometimes sick patients need services that can only be performed at the hospital. We strive to keep the length of the hospital stay as brief as possible. While in the hospital, your pet will rest comfortably in our intensive care unit. A doctor or licensed veterinary technician will monitor the condition of every patient and provide attentive medical treatment with tender loving care.

Weight Management
Our Weight Management Program
Obesity among cats and dogs has reached epidemic proportions. Excess weight leads to serious health risks, including diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. Recent studies have shown that pets who maintain an ideal weight throughout their lives live an average of two years longer than overweight pets.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound Services
Our ultrasound services allow high quality, non-invasive imaging of the abdomen and chest. Many diseases can be accurately diagnosed with ultrasound, such as pancreatitis, heart disease, liver disease, and bladder stones.
Our own state-of-the-art Ultrasound machine is used daily to help with imaging and sample collection.
Dental Care

diagnosed in 8 out of 10 cats and in dogs over 4 years of age is periodontal disease.

WE WANT YOU TO KNOW
Payment and Fees – It is hospital policy that payment is required when professional services are rendered. We accept cash, checks, debit, MasterCard, VISA, Discover, American Express, and Care Credit.
Treatment Plans – We are happy to provide you with a written treatment plan. Please realize that it is sometimes difficult to anticipate an individual pet’s needs. If the actual costs are greater than the estimate, we will notify you for authorization.
New Client Prepayment Policy – Currently we are requiring all new clients to prepay their pet’s physical exam at the time they schedule. This is due to frequent new client no-shows. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, otherwise, this prepayment will be non-refundable.
