Vaccinations are crucial for keeping your pet and the larger pet and human community healthy. The rabies vaccination is required by law, and other core vaccines (like DHPP for dogs and FVRCP for cats) are recommended for all pets. Others may be recommended based on your pet’s health, breed, lifestyle, and risk of exposure. Our veterinarians will work with you to develop a customized vaccine plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Poor dental health affects not only your pets’ breath but also contributes to heart, liver, and kidney disease. In addition, dental disease can cause significant pain, though cats and dogs are very good at masking this pain until advanced disease occurs. Our comprehensive dental services include cleaning, polishing, extractions, dental X-rays, oral surgery, and more. Home dental care like tooth brushing is also essential, and we’re happy to show you how to get started!

Unpleasant creatures like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites are not only a threat to your pet’s health, but some can also pose a threat to people. When it comes to parasite prevention, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm preventative, combined with regular heartworm tests and fecal screenings, are an essential part of your pet’s wellness care, and we’re ready to help find the parasite prevention plan that fits your pet, your lifestyle, and your budget.
