Services
 

We stress the importance of an annual physical examination because of the shorter lifespan of our pets. We also recommend twice a year for life (for those older pets that need a little extra attention.) Thorough checkups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

BATHING & GROOMING:  Routine and therapeutic bathing services are available. We have a groomer on staff with over 20 years experience that can make even the ugliest dog look like a hometown show dog.

Bring paperwork prior to dropping off with us, if we did not do the vaccines, so we can verify the updates.
