- Dental CareAll dental patients receive oral antibiotics for five days, beginning 2 days before the procedure. Every dental procedure is performed under general anesthesia to facilitate thorough cleaning above and below the gum line. This also allows the doctor to thoroughly examine the inside of the mouth, which is not always possible when the patient is awake. Many oral abnormalities can be addressed at this time, and extractions will be done if needed. After a thorough rinse, the teeth are polished and sealed to help prevent further tartar buildup. One of our technicians then performs a therapeutic lase treatment of the mouth to decrease post-procedure swelling as well as reduce oral bacteria numbers. As with any anesthetic event, one of our technicians monitors the patient during the procedure.

- Parasites Treatment and ControlThe staff here is extremely friendly and does an amazing job. Both Dr. Harper and Dr. Pierce have treated our animals with respect and given them the help they need. Definitely a place I trust to bring my babies when anything needs taken care of from flea prevention to literally saving their lives. I brought in our youngest cat recently and they determined he had bobcat fever and so we left him in their care. They let us see him everyday and he managed to pull through with all they did for him! Thank you to the staff and I highly recommend bringing your babies here if you want people who care and do a great job!

It is our goal that our patients be as pain free as possible, no matter what the procedure.
