Puppy/Kitten Wellness Program - During the pediatric life stage, frequent exams and vaccinations are needed to monitor healthy growth and development.  Since infectious diseases and parasites are most life threatening to puppies and kittens, frequent trips to the doctor are needed to establish a basic vaccination and parasite control program.  

Adult Wellness Program - Adult pets, ages 1 to 6 years, need annual wellness exams and vaccinations.  At this time, important issues such as diet and weight management, parasite control, dental health and skin care are addressed.  

Semi-Annual Exams - We recommend starting our twice-yearly examination protocol between years 1 to 7. In addition to vaccinations appropriate for your pet, we will also perform blood chemistry panels with a CBC to establish baselines and to help with early detection of disease.

Mature pets over 7 years of age should not only continue the twice-yearly physical exam, appropriate vaccination protocol and blood test, but also have additional testing, such as blood pressure and urinalysis performed. Just as with humans, these test are important for continued good health.

Senior Wellness Program - Senior pets need a wellness exam twice yearly.  Special care for aging pets involves trying to avoid premature aging, minimizing physical and emotional stress, meeting special nutritional needs, and having a regular exercise program.  Your veterinarian will recommend special procedures, including blood testing, urinalysis, blood pressure and Glaucoma screens to determine if your older pet has special needs.

Surgery - We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. We recommend that all patients be carefully screened for safety, and we use the safest anesthetics for your pet. Surgical services and facilities include: fully trained veterinary and technical staff, to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-art procedures for your pet; advance sterilization techniques; ECG and oxygen saturation monitors; intensive after surgery care and full blood testing.

Laser Surgery – We are the only clinic in the area able to offer state-of-the-art Laser surgery to our clients. Laser surgery results in less bleeding, less tissue swelling, and less pain following surgery. We strongly recommend this option as being the best for you pet.

Pre-Surgical Screening – We recommend that all pets coming in for surgery have the extra screenings.  With EKGs, our doctors can check for abnormal heart rhythms which will help us determine if we need to alter our anesthetic protocol or delay anesthesia until the problem is corrected. We can perform a blood analysis that will provide us with more in-depth information on the health status of your pet before surgery. These are similar to the blood test routinely performed in human medicine.  

In-House Diagnostics – We have a complete in-house lab for blood chemistries, complete blood counts, urinalyses, breeding related test, heartworm testing and fecal exams.

Pain Management – Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care.

Video Otoscope - Ear problems? This state-of-the-art machine allows us to visualize and work much deeper in the ear canal than ever before. We are able to irrigate, and perform minor surgical procedures that in the past would have been quite invasive.

Early Admitting Service – We offer pet “early admitting service”. Pets may be admitted in the morning between the hours of 7:00 am – 9:00 am Mon. – Fri. for treatment, bathing, vaccinations, etc and may be picked up within 30 minuets of closing time for that day.  

Ultrasound – This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs.  

Digital Radiology – or x-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary  systems.  

Dentistry – Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s teeth.  It’s a known fact that we can add 2 years to the life of the pet simply by keeping its mouth clean. After removing dental tartar and calculus, technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. Not only will your pets breathe smell better, but also there will be less chance of dental disease, often caused by a buildup of bacteria under the gums. This will decrease the chance of kidney and heart disease caused by infections spreading through the body from the mouth.

Lodging – Pets are like children – we feed, nurture and lavish attention on them. When your pet is staying with us, our highly qualified kennel attendants will treat your pets as if they are a family member.  We monitor their every move. We provide tender loving care and offer extra hand walks and additional exercise periods. We have separate cat and dog facilities. All pets must be current on required vaccines and free of internal and external parasites.

Bathing  – Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. It is also beneficial for pets with certain skin ailments allowing prescribed medicated shampoo to penetrate and treat the skin. The massaging effect loosens dead layers of skin,  removes loose hair and during your pets shedding period it will loosen hair, in turn preventing matting and possible skin infections.  Services also include complimentary nail trim anal gland expression and ear cleaning.

Day Care – Is your pet unhappy or lonely while you’re at work? Can’t get home for lunch to let your companion out for their potty break?  We can give your companion the personal attention he or she deserves throughout the day. We can offer your pet TLC during the day at a reasonable cost. This way they will not have to spend the day alone or go all day without their scheduled potty breaks. 

Referrals – There are two referral veterinary practices in this area, Unifour Veterinary Referrals and Carolina Veterinary Specialists. We have the ability to refer your pet for a consultation with board certified specialists in the following areas: Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Critical Care, Oncology, Dermatology, Total Hip Replacement, Myelography, Neurosurgery, Imaging and Hyperthyroidism in cats.

Microchip – This is a professional way to identify your pet in the event he or she becomes lost. Just like a vaccination, it’s injected under the skin, where it remains for permanent identification. A special scanner that identifies a personal, one-of-a-kind, identification number that can be traced back to you detects the chip. These scanners are used by veterinary facilities and Animal Shelters. Microchips have helped reunite thousands of pets with their families.
