Our Services

General Services

• BATHING

  Making an appointment for a bath is just a phone call away.  Once you've made the appointment you simply drop your dog or cat off between 7-8am and plan to pick up your clean, sweet smelling companion sometime after 4pm.  During the summer months we limit our bathes to Tuesday through Thursday as our boarding facility gets very busy.

• BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE

  Illness doesn't always have a physical cause. One of our veterinarians. Dr. Stolt,  has a special interest in behavioral medicine and works closely with both the owners and the patients to help determine the cause of disorders such as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior.  She will then work to develop a treatment for the owner and patient to work on together.

• BOARDING

  Our canine boarding facility contains indoor elevated runs in a comfortable heated and air-conditioned environment.  Dogs are walked outdoors several times daily and are fed a premium diet.  Our cat condos are located in a room overlooking our yard where they can hide in cubbies, lie on shelves in the sunlight, and munch on premium food.  Exotics and pocket pets may board also; please ask if you will need to bring your own cage.  Please leave yourself 10 to 15 minutes to complete the Boarding Registration Form and discuss any relevant care information with our staff.   If your pet has a chronic medical condition, such as diabetes, Cushings, etc. an exam prior to boarding is required.  This will provide us the most up to date medical information so we can care for your pet while you are away. If you would prefer to fill out the Boarding Registration form prior to arrival, you may download and print it from the Clinic Forms section of this website. If at all possible, please try to drop-off or pick-up your pet before 5:30 PM on weekdays or 12:30 PM on Saturdays.

• IMMUNIZATION AND WELLNESS CARE

  We strive to prevent illness whenever possible.  We use only the safest and most effective vaccines and provide thorough examinations of all patients who arrive for well visits.  Like humans, animals do not coordinate their illnesses with an appointment book and procedures can sometimes take longer than planned, so an occasional appointment delay can occur.  Please be patient if this occurs; next time it could be your pet!
