We see dogs, cats, and pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and other rodents).
Our hospital is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. On Saturdays we are open from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm. The clinic is closed on Sunday.
Yes, patients are seen by appointment. Walk-ins will be accommodated when possible (additional fees may apply).
Cash, Mastercard, Amex and Visa, or Care Credit.
Payment is required at the time of service.
Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery.
This is a blood test that is either run here in the clinic prior to surgery, or sent out to a reference laboratory ahead of time. It tests the organ functions, and sometimes blood counts and clotting function of your pet. The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.
Procedures involving sutures require them to be removed in 10 to 14 days following the surgery. Many spays and neuters are done with buried (dissolvable) sutures which do not require removal.
No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However there are plenty of advantages to having you pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood, decreasing the incidence of prostate cancer later in life, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.
Yes, we do boarding for our clients. We have boarding space for both dogs and cats. We also can board other small animals, but you will be required to bring your own cage and food for your pet.
Our dog kennels are all indoor. The dogs are walked 3 times daily while they are boarding. The cat boarders are housed in a separate area away from the dogs. Blankets and food are provided for our boarders, but you are always welcome to bring your own.
