Please call any time you are concerned about your pet. We can help determine if/when your pet should be examined based on the symptoms your pet is showing.

We are equipped to accurately diagnose and treat your pet’s problem. Our hospital equipment includes:

  • In-house laboratory (bloodwork, needle biopsy analysis, fecal analysis, urinalysis)
  • Radiology (X-Ray)
  • Ultrasound
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Anesthesia and full surgical capability

Our veterinarians regularly attend continuing education conferences to keep up-to-date on the latest diagnostic methods and treatments.  We do our best to provide thorough, cutting-edge care.

In some instances, your pet may be too ill to treat at home.  Hospitalization is sometimes necessary for seriously ill pets.
