We provide comprehensive reproductive assistance, ranging from semen collection to vaginal cytology,
which helps determine the optimal breeding days. Our services include artificial insemination (AI) and
support for natural breeding processes.
Vaccines
Vaccinations are crucial for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. Vaccines
work by mimicking disease-causing organisms in the body, preparing the immune system to fight off the
real thing.
Surgery
Our clinic offers a wide range of surgical services, including routine procedures like spays and
neuters, as well as more complex soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, oral health, trauma response
and tumor removal.
Reproductive Services
We treat each small animal patient with the same care and attention as if they were our own pets. We
recommend annual wellness exams, where our doctors perform comprehensive checks from nose to tail.
Animal Chiropractic Care
Animal chiropractic care adjusts vertebrae to relieve pain, enhance mobility and improve wellness.
Safe for cats, dogs and horses, it complements other treatments and can reduce medication use.

Chiropractic care with Dr. Skyler West
Dr. Skyler West provides certified animal chiropractic adjustments for pets dealing with stiffness, back
and neck soreness, limping, difficulty with stairs, or reduced mobility as they age. Adjustments are
gentle, hands-on, and often paired with the medical care your pet already receives with us.
Our doctors and staff treat every patient like family — taking the time to listen, explain, and make
sure your pet feels safe from the moment you walk in. Because we're a small, close-knit team, please
review our current office policies below so we can continue giving each patient the attention they
deserve.
