Low Stress Many dogs and cats experience stress during their trip to the vet. Not here. We believe that gold-standard care starts with reducing stress levels. Besides being difficult for a pet owner to see, stress alters a pet's body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. These measurements are critical to assessing a pet's overall health, meaning stress can make it difficult to know whether a real health issue is present or not.
As a dog or cat ages, they face new health risks and challenges, and require new kinds of care. We help you navigate everything, from pain management, to catching chronic health conditions early, to diet and lifestyle, and everything in between. We'll help you make their golden years their happiest years yet. From The Early Years Caring for your pet like we would our own isn't just a profession to us.
It is our calling in life. And one of the most rewarding parts of practicing medicine is caring for your pet through their full lifecycle. For puppies, kittens, and other young pets, we will help you see the full road ahead and adopt gold-standard preventive care practices.

Imagine if you never brushed your teeth or had them cleaned.
Pretty frightening, right?
As you can imagine, things would eventually start to go very, very bad inside your mouth: teeth would rot and decay, gums would become inflamed and infected.
Bacteria from those rotting teeth would eventually travel into your bloodstream and could cause other serious health problems.
And we haven't even mentioned the daily, debilitating pain.
Well, it's the same scenario for your dog or cat.
