THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US WITH YOUR PET'S CARE!

For the health and safety of your pet we require that all Hospitalized patients be up to date on vaccinations and free from parasites. Heartworm disease increases the risk of complications under anesthesia. A current test and/or prevention history is required.

Pre-operative Blood Testing

Pre-operative blood testing is the most reliable way to make anesthesia as safe as possible. Testing is done here at the hospital and results allow us to select the best medications for your pet. We may need to cancel or delay procedure if a problem is discovered. The fee for a CBC and Pre-Surgery panel is $130.00.

Cutting Edge CO2 Surgical Laser

Cutting Edge CO2 Surgical Laser is a better alternative to traditional scalpel surgery. Benefits include less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, and reduce risk of infection. This option is available for all procedures but required for certain procedures. The fee for laser surgery is $118.00

HomeAgain Microchip

HomeAgain Microchip is the best way to make sure your pet is returned to you if he/she ever gets lost! The perfect time to insert the chip is while your pet is already sleeping. The fee for this service is $54.00. (This fee includes registration).

Patient
Forms

This vet is amazing! My dog had a terrible snake bite! They did everything they could to take care of her as she would allow. They would let me come feed,walk, and help with her treatments. They wanted what was best for her. I sat in the vet for several hours each day holding and just loving on her. Every staff member was so kind and helpful even though my dog was so hard to deal with. The experience was great! And now she's all better back to her normal self!
