Our Services

A full range of care under one roof

Small Animal Care

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.
