- General surgery
All surgical procedures in our hospital are performed under strict AAHA sterility standards. Those standards include sterile patient preparation, surgical personnel's use of caps, masks, gloves, and gowns, and constant monitoring of the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate, and pulse oximetry. An I.V. catheter is placed in every patient, and each one is given warmed intravenous fluids as well as aggressive pain management before, during and after each procedure for the comfort of the pet.
- Orthopedic Surgery
Strict adherence to sterility standards ensures the best possible results on these challenging procedures. We perform anterior cruciate repair and patella fixation surgeries on a regular basis.
- Laser Surgery
Used in nearly every surgical procedure in our hospital, the surgical laser offers the advantages of minimal bleeding, decreased pain, decreased swelling and faster return to normal function after surgery.

Speedy laboratory results are essential for treating critical care cases and our on-site hematology and chemistry lab equipment provides nearly instantaneous results.

- Vaccinations
We recommend and follow the latest vaccine guidelines for pets as published by the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Society of Feline Practitioners. Great care is taken to be sure that the pets in our practice are not over immunized (we routinely use extended length vaccines) and whenever possible, vaccinations are spaced out at strategic intervals to provide excellent coverage with minimal side effects.

A complete range of medical and therapeutic diets are available, along with a knowledgeable staff to help you select the best possible food for your healthy or medically challenged pet.

Our practice has a Certified Behavior Counselor and dog trainer on staff to help you get your puppy off to the right start, as well as assist you with any behavioral challenges your dog might have at any time during his or her life. Behavior counseling for our feline friends will be added as a service within the next two years.
