- Dental CareJust as it’s important for you to see a dentist regularly, it’s important for dogs and cats as well. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health. Signs of dental disease include bad breath, loose, broken, or missing teeth, yellow or brown teeth, red, inflamed, or bleeding gums, difficulty or pain when chewing, pawing at the mouth, and excessive drooling. If you notice any of these symptoms, please contact our team, and we’ll be happy to help.
- VaccinationVaccines offer protection against major viral and bacterial diseases that cats and dogs may be exposed to. Your veterinarian will set up a vaccination program for your pet to provide protection for the diseases of concern in your area. Kittens and puppies often require an initial vaccination with follow-up booster vaccines to ensure they are well protected against diseases.

- Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
- Anal Gland Infection TreatmentAnal gland problems start when the glands fail to empty on their own. The secretions continue to accumulate and, eventually, the anal gland becomes impacted. Anal gland impaction can then lead to anal gland infection, which, in severe cases, results in anal gland abscessation. This is very, VERY painful and ABSOLUTELY requires veterinary intervention.

- MicrochippingMicrochips are tiny electronic devices about the size of a rice grain that uses radio waves to transmit identification information. Pet microchips store unique identification numbers that show once the chip is scanned. This number can be reported to the appropriate microchip company, where the owners’ contact information is stored. Microchips are made of a material that is compatible with body tissues, so rejection and infection at microchip injection sites are rare.
