Well Care

Preventative care is key to keeping your pet healthy.  A solid preventative care plan includes annual to semi-annual physical exams, depending on your pet's age and medical needs.  We believe that vaccinations should be tailored to your pet's level of risk.  In addition, external and internal parasite prevention is vital for both you and your cat's or dog's well-being.

We also encourage you to microchip your pet. Each year millions of pets go missing.  A microchip is a rice-sized electronic device that is easily implanted under the skin between your pets shoulder blades with a needle similar to vaccination needles and can be read with a small external scanner..  Each device has it's own unique number which is registered nationally. Humane societies, shelters and veterinarians use these scanners to try to get lost pets back to their owners.

Emergency & Urgent Care

If you feel you have an emergency situation, if possible, it is best to call and let us know that you are on your way, so that we can advise you on your particular situation and be better prepared for your arrival.

When the condition is not life-threatening, we are available for urgent care if you feel your pet needs to be seen before a regular appointment is available.  When you arrive, we will triage the situation to assess the level of urgency and work you in.  We do need to respect those who have scheduled appointments, but will work hard to fit you in as soon as possible.
