Your pet’s breath says a lot about their oral health. If you turn away every time they open their mouth, it might be time for a dental checkup!

Good dental hygiene can also help to prevent systemic illness, like heart, liver, and kidney disease.
Surgery

If your companion needs surgery, our sterile surgical suite can accommodate their needs. We provide routine spays and neuters, a wide range of other soft-tissue procedures, and some orthopedics. All of our surgeries are performed under strict protocols that are customized to every individual patient for maximum safety and comfort.
