Appointments

We see patients by appointment only, Monday thru Saturday. Call us and speak to one of our caring front desk staff members to schedule your pet's appointment today! Appointments can also be made online. We strive to accommodate all appointment requests to the best of our ability. Emergencies are welcome during normal business hours. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us or come to the hospital immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a doctor or experienced nurse can advise you on your particular emergency.

Emergency & Urgent Care

We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 6 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. Usually an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several nurses working together to save a pet's life. Emergencies can be things such a snail bait poisoning, hit by car, and chocolate ingestion. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately. If possible, it is best to call before coming or while you're on your way so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency.

We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening, but you feel your pet needs to be seen before you are able to get an appointment. Our veterinarians will work to "squeeze" you in between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on how long you may have to wait in order to be seen.

Non-Anesthetic Sedated Dental Cleaning Now Available for Qualified Patients!

Dental care is an essential ingredient in keeping your pet healthy. It is estimated that more than half of our pets have periodontal disease. Plaque and bacteria can invade vital body organs such as the heart and kidneys, and over time can be the cause of severe disease. Even a small amount of staining and plaque will harbor bacteria and over time may result in significant oral disease. Regular cleaning is important to keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy and help avoid the dreaded "buffalo breath" many owners detect when their special friend gets up close and personal.

For some pets, a Non-Anesthetic Sedated Dental may be all that's necessary to clean and polish the teeth. This procedure is performed in our office by the highly trained veterinary nurses but only after a thorough oral exam, by the veterinarian, determines that this type of cleaning would be appropriate. This is NOT just a cosmetic cleaning often performed at pet stores and grooming shops, but an extensive scaling and polishing with the same instruments your own dentist uses. If the dental tartar is too heavy, gums reddened or painful, if teeth are loose or extractions are needed, anesthesia may be necessary. The doctor will determine if your pet would be a good candidate for this procedure. He or she may recommend a mild tranquilizer to calm your pet. This lessens the stress of the cleaning and allows us to do a thorough job. A Non-Anesthetic Dental is not as thorough as an anesthetic procedure, however it is less intensive and less expensive than the anesthetic dental procedure.

A non-anesthetic dental is ideal for those pets just starting to show signs of staining or tartar or need a maintenance cleaning. If your pet requires a complete anesthetic dental, many times we can keep those teeth clean with regular follow-up non-anesthetic cleanings.
