SERVICES

We believe routine examinations are an important part of your pet’s health care. We recommend all pet owners schedule an exam for their animals at least once a year. If you have a senior animal or one with a chronic health condition, we recommend at least biannual exams.
Fecal examinations are recommended on a yearly basis. Heartworm/Tick borne disease testing is recommended on an annual basis for all dogs starting at 6-12 months of age. Feline leukemia/Aids recommended at least once for all of our feline friends. We may recommend testing every few years for those kitties that love to play outdoors. Routine blood work may be recommended for all dogs 5 years and over.  We believe all animals over 8 years of age should have annual lab work to pick up on early disease processes as they age.

Our vaccine schedules are based on American Animal Hospital Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners guidelines.

Laboratory

In house — We maintain an in house diagnostic laboratory for times when we need immediate results.
Send out — We have daily pick up from Antech diagnostic laboratories daily except on Sundays. There is a variety of lab tests available depending on the needs of your pet.

Digital Radiology

We offer digital radiography for times when we need a better look inside your pet. This means we get radiographs much quicker and are better able to share them with a Board-certified radiologist.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a great compliment when radiographs do not give us enough information. Ultrasound uses sound waves to give us a bit of a different image of internal organs. It is also great for detecting fluid in the chest or abdomen. Ultrasound is frequently used to help acquire urine directly from the bladder when our pets are too shy to give us a sample or when a sterile sample is indicated.

COVID Policy Update - March 2022

We are excited to announce some news that will make some of you very happy.

Starting Monday, March 14 th , 2022 we will be allowing one masked client to accompany their companion into the hospital again. Details are listed below. We will continue to provide curbside service for families who are not comfortable with our policies or health risks.

  • All clients entering the building, will remain masked regardless of COVID 19 vaccine status. The mask will remain on for the entirety of the visit, even when no one else is in the exam room as our ventilation system supplies the entire hospital. If you forget your mask or have a health condition which prevents you from wearing a mask, you will remain curbside for your appointment.
  • If you do want to come inside for your appointment, you will still call on arrival for check in and wait in your car until a staff member can escort you directly into a room with your pet. At the end of the appointment, you will be checked out in the room.
  • Each appointment can be attended by ONE family member as are exam rooms are very small. The exception is end of life care during which two family members will be allowed inside.
  • Our staff members will restrain all pets during their exam. Owner will remain in the room but will be required to social distance from the table during the exam. Please remain in the seating provided.
  • If your companion is sick or injured requiring diagnostics (x-rays or bloodwork) and/or treatments (sq fluids, injections), we may ask that you return to your car to wait or drop them off until they are ready to go home.
  • We will continue to do medication and food pick-ups curbside.
  • We hope to open the lobby once the new building is finished.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding.
