Our goal is to keep your pets healthy! Our focus is on preventative care. Many illnesses can be prevented by routine care and preventatives like Heartgard and Nexgard. If your pet is ill or has a medical concern we offer comprehensive examinations, laboratory testing, and digital radiographs. We will work with you to choose the best plan that fits you and your pets needs.

We recommend Nexgard and Frontline Gold for prevention.
We recommend using flea and tick preventatives monthly all year around.
We live in a very heavy tick population and they live in almost any temp and weather.
They stay out as late as December and this year we found our first fully engorged deer tick in March.
Your pet can get fleas all year around.
They don't even have to go outside to get them.
You can bring home these "friends" on your clothes.
We recommend administering Heartworm prevention montly all year around.

Hello my name is Whiskers.
My brother and I came to live at the clinic in 2014.
We had to find a new home because we were naughty boys and could not always find our litter box.
We are good kitty's now and love our new home.
I love to lay on the front desk and have my tummy rubbed.
Hello my name is Louie but I prefer King Louie.
I am the youngest of the bunch.
The first time I came to the clinic was because I had been hit by a car or stepped on by a cow.
I was very badly injured.
My jaw was dislocated, leg was broken and my tail had nerve damage.
