We love puppy & kitten visits! They are a great opportunity to socialize your pets with Fear Free visits at the veterinary clinic. Puppies should receive a vaccine series with boosters every three weeks to build full immunity. These visits typically start around 6–8 weeks of age and continue through 16 weeks of age.

These vaccinations help protect your pets from common viral and bacterial diseases in our area. Your visits are also a great time to ask questions and get guidance on training, nutrition, and common challenges.

Core Dog Vaccinations Include:

• Bordetella – Oral or intranasal vaccine that helps protect against pathogens that cause kennel cough (often required for boarding/grooming).
• DA2PP – Combination vaccine that helps protect against Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.
• Leptospirosis (Lepto 4) – Helps protect against multiple strains of Leptospira bacteria often found in standing water; zoonotic risk to people.
• Rabies – Required by law; rabies is fatal and can be transmitted to people and other mammals.

Core Cat Vaccinations Include:

• FVRCP – Helps protect against common respiratory viruses.
• FeLV – Helps protect against Feline Leukemia Virus.
• Rabies – Required by law for public safety.

Routine wellness bloodwork helps establish a baseline for your cat and can detect early changes before they become serious. Annual bloodwork may include a chemistry panel, CBC, and other tests recommended by your veterinarian based on age, lifestyle, and medical history. Our wellness profiles provide a comprehensive look at internal health and may include:

• Blood Chemistry + CBC – Evaluates organ function (kidneys, liver, pancreas), hydration, blood sugar, and signs of infection, inflammation, or anemia.

• Thyroid Testing – Screens thyroid function, especially important for mature dogs.

• Heartworm & Tick-Borne Screening – Checks exposure to common blood parasites.

• Urinalysis – Assesses urinary tract health and can reveal early medical changes.

• Fecal Screening – Detects intestinal parasites that can affect pets and sometimes people.

Oral health is a gateway to overall health. At-home dental care helps reduce bacteria and slow plaque and tartar buildup. Options include daily brushing, dental chews, and water additives.

Even with great home care, many dogs & cats still need professional dental cleanings and dental x-rays periodically. Our team performs dental cleanings under anesthesia so we can safely evaluate the mouth, take full-mouth dental x-rays, and treat problems comfortably and thoroughly. Fear Free and the American Animal Hospital Association do not recommend non-anesthetic dental services due to stress and potential pain.

Cold laser therapy supports cellular healing and is commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation, promote wound healing, and improve circulation. It can be used alone or alongside other treatments to support recovery.

Laser therapy is often used for chronic arthritis, surgical incisions, hot spots, tendon/ligament injuries, traumatic injuries, and spinal disc disease. Sessions typically take about 2–15 minutes depending on your dog’s needs.

Excess weight can affect your pet's energy, mobility, and comfort. It increases strain on joints and can contribute to arthritis and inflammation over time.

Our team will assess your pet’s body condition score and create a realistic, sustainable weight-loss plan designed to keep your dog satisfied while getting results.

Spaying or neutering helps prevent unwanted litters and can provide important health and behavior benefits.

Spaying or neutering can provide important health benefits. Spaying helps prevent life-threatening uterine infection (pyometra) and reduces the risk of mammary tumors. Neutering helps prevent testicular cancer, can reduce prostate-related issues, and may reduce urine marking, roaming, and some behavior concerns.

Our facility includes a sterile surgical suite and high-quality instruments and monitoring equipment. From emergency wound repair to routine mass removals, our doctors perform many soft tissue surgeries on an outpatient basis so your dog can recover comfortably at home the same day.

We prioritize safety and comfort with close anesthetic monitoring, warming support, IV fluids, and multi-modal pain management to promote a smooth recovery.

Senior dogs deserve special consideration and often benefit from wellness exams and lab work every six months. Aging can affect metabolism, diet needs, mobility, and energy. Many chronic conditions can develop quietly with subtle symptoms.

Senior cats often benefit from wellness exams and screening lab work every six months. Many chronic conditions in cats can be subtle, so early detection can make a big difference in comfort and quality of life.

By screening early, we can often detect and medically manage common senior conditions to support comfort and quality of life.

End-of-life care is one of the most difficult parts of loving a pet. When time is limited, our team provides compassionate support, honest guidance, and options to keep your dog comfortable. This may include quality-of-life assessments, supportive care, pain management, and aftercare planning.

Euthanasia is a deeply personal decision. When chosen, the procedure is designed to be gentle and low-stress so pets can pass peacefully and without prolonged suffering.
