As you can see by our pets on the left, we believe in administering TLC. Your pets will be treated with compassion and great care as well.
An annual physical examination is one of the most important ways you can care for your pet. Thorough checkups and preventative care can help identify and alleviate health problems before they become more serious. We offer a full supply of high quality vaccinations. You will work with one of our doctors or technicians to decide what vaccinations will be best for your pet. View feline and canine vaccination schedules.
A through physical exam is provided by one of our qualified veterinarians prior to the purchase or sale of an animal. Frequently radiographs and blood work will be included in this exam.

All boarders receive personal attention from our caring staff. Your pet can be welcomed by our support staff during regular business hours, at which time we will record any special instructions or needs for your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is enjoying the best care while you are away. Please remember to call our office in advance to schedule your pet’s vacation reservations.

It is a method of non-invasively looking inside the esophagus, stomach, and intestines by passing a tiny camera on a tube through the mouth. We can visualize and examine the inner surface of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines; remove foreign body material from the stomach and esophagus; and collect samples for biopsy.

Prior to travel, animals are required to be examined and have a health certificate filled out by our veterinarians. If your pet is traveling, please plan in advance to have them examined.
