Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pet's complete health care needs.  
      
Surgical Services: Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  Dr. Cooley, a residency trained veterinary surgical specialist performs specialty surgeries at our office.   Cruciate ligament repair can be accomplished by the TTA surgery performed by Dr. Cooley or a Lateral Suture repair by Dr. Keck
   
Anesthesia: We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
    
Internal medicine consults: We offer in-hospital referrals to a Cardiologist who performs ultrasounds, ECGs and helps us with the diagnosis of more complicated cases.
   
Radiology Services: Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.  Our new DR digital x-ray unit provides a clearer picture not seen with traditional x-ray film.  This enables us to provide more accurate diagnosis then ever before.
