What's New?

What is new you asked? 
 
We are in an internal renovation process, partially complete at this time, that will be bringing even higher tech medicine to you.  Currently, the digital radiograph equipment is fully functional and allows us to obtain much better x-rays and share them digitally as well. 

Our dental center has received numerous upgrades that allow us to provide better dental radiographs and improved tooth treatments.  And our surgery center has added new monitoring equipment that brings even greater safety to your pet during surgery and any anesthesia.  The best in the region has become even better!

More improvements are coming that you will be noticing in the next few months, including an advanced radiographic imaging system that will allow us to see microscopic detail on x-rays, greatly improving our detection of cancer and other diseases not visible on regular radiographs!  We continue to provide the only interlocking nail fracture repair system in the region, which provides excellent fracture repair options for many broken legs in dogs and cats.

Surgical Options, Medical Choices, Dental Solutions... 

We offer Veterinary Medicine, Sophisticated Surgery, and Modern Dentistry, as well as Luxury Boarding and Grooming Facilities and Pet Supplies. Our own doctors see all our emergencies during the week, and a Main Street doctor and technician are on call 24/7.  Our office hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday.  As always, we are easy to reach anytime, day or night.
