Welcome
We
are fortunate to live in a time when those of us who love cats and dogs have
many options for preventing sickness and maintaining a high quality lifestyle
for our pets. Today, cats can have laser surgery and even get a cat scan. Dogs
regularly go from "he is just not feeling right" to a digital x-ray then an
operation to remove bladder stones and recovery in a few days. We enjoy
participating with you in the miracle of modern veterinary medicine.
Miracles are wonderful but not cheap. It is cute to picture a cat getting a cat
(computed axial tomography) scan. Choosing an ultrasound results in a faster
better diagnosis and better care. Modern laboratory tests regularly save lives.
We wish everyone could elect to have the best most comprehensive care for their
pets every time but we know that the cost of all of these services can run into
the thousands of dollars so most people cannot afford these options.
Even
more routine services are often unaffordable for some people. Modern veterinary
medicine has reached a consensus that most dogs should receive a physical
examination each year; initial vaccinations for kennel cough, a distemper parvo
combo vaccination and a Rabies vaccination and then regular boosters; an annual
heartworm test and heartworm preventative; spay or neuter; periodic dentals and
other services as needed. Some practices will recommend or require other
services. It is common for people to spend $400 to $600 per year on their dog
for maintenance. People generally spend a bit less when caring for their cats.
We proudly offer all of these services and more here or by referral. We want
your pet to receive the best of everything available but we are practical
people. We differ from other practices in that we offer more choices and respect
your choices. If all you want right now is a single vaccination, then you may
get a single vaccination. If your pet has worms, then we will treat the worms
without requiring you to buy vaccinations. Still if you can afford to, we
recommend you have your pet vaccinated, wormed and take advantage of the modern
veterinary services available to you.
Low
Cost Spay and Neuter Services
Many smart people have diligently dedicated their careers to making good
veterinary medicine affordable. People occasionally ask how we can afford to
spay a cat for $50 when others charge so much more. The answer is simple.
We carefully copied a low cost spay and neuter model perfected over the last 20
years; we offer a no frills service and we don't require you to buy anything
else to get your cat spayed. You are welcome to add a private presurgical
consultation with a veterinarian, laboratory tests and other services which
increases the cost but the cost still remains competitive.
It may seem obvious but perhaps we should mention that all of our surgeries are done by licensed veterinarians. A veterinarian examines pets which are safe to handle. The pets receive a physical examination before the pet receives anesthesia. Feral or fractious pets are given a low dose of drugs and examined after the pet calms down. We also use a fresh sterile surgical pack in a clean surgery room and monitor every pet while under anesthesia from induction through recovery.
We
provide a 24 hour emergency contact number to call if you have questions or
concerns. We will see your pet at no charge for concerns directly related to
surgery we have done in the last 30 days.

Wellness Clinics
We offer a walk-in wellness clinics most Saturday afternoons from 1:30 until 4
PM. Wellness Clinics are an affordable way to get vaccinations, parasite control
and laboratory tests done for your pets. A licensed veterinarian gives every pet
a brief physical to ascertain the pet is healthy enough to receive vaccinations
before the pet is vaccinated.
Traditional Veterinary Services
We offer traditional office calls with private veterinary visits and all the
normal veterinary services by appointment. An office call offers you the chance
to discuss your pet, share your observations or concerns and ask your questions
in a more leisurely environment.
Laser Cat Declawing
We offer laser cat declawing for those people who choose to declaw their cat.
While we don't believe that you should get your cat declawed just because Aunt
Millie got hers declawed, but if are considering declawing your cat we believe
that laser declawing offer significant advantages over other methods.
Laboratory Services
We have a laboratory with IDEXX Laboratory equipment, other equipment and the
staff to run the tests so the veterinarians can have results in a few minutes
Grooming
We offer bathing and pet grooming by appointment.
Dog Training
We offer individual dog training classes.
Emergency Services
We provide services to several of the local humane societies or rescues. These
groups or others rarely bring in emergencies. Just
as in human medicine this disrupts our schedule. This may mean that your
appointment or other services will be delayed. We apologize in advance for this
but it happens much more rarely now that we have 3 veterinarians.
