Routine and Emergency Services

Orthopedic Surgery

Dr. Hunt offers orthopedic surgeries, including fracture repairs with plates and pins and TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for dogs with torn cranial cruciate ligaments. TPLO involves cutting and rotating the tibia to stabilize the joint and reduce pain, using a bone plate and screws for healing.

General Surgery

To provide the highest quality veterinary medicine, we offer a wide range of surgical services for our patients. From routine procedures like spaying and neutering to more complex soft tissue surgeries, we are committed to meeting your pet’s surgical needs. Our highly skilled staff prioritizes patient safety, pain management, and the latest surgical practices to exceed your expectations. Compassionate professionals monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery, ensuring a safe and complete recovery.

Digital Radiology

We have in-house digital x-ray capabilities which allows our doctors to view the results within seconds. Digital radiographs can be enhanced to provide a better image compared to traditional x-ray films. The images can then be sent to specialists as needed.

Wellness Exams and Vaccines

Regular check-ups are essential for pets of all ages. We recommend yearly heartworm tests, which also screen for tick-borne diseases, and feline leukemia tests for cats. Annual intestinal parasite screens are important, as these parasites can harm your pet and contaminate the environment. Vaccinations will also be administered during these visits. The more we understand about your pet’s health, the better care we can provide. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

In-house Labwork

We have an in-house diagnostic laboratory. This allows us to provide the fastest diagnosis and quickest path to recovery.  

Some of the laboratory services available include thyroid tests, blood tests, progesterone, ear and skin cytology, and urinalysis. We work closely with an outside lab in the event that they need to be sent for further testing. Those results are usually back within 24 hours. 

Dental Care

Does your best friend have bad breath? Contrary to popular belief, “dog breath” isn’t just a nuisance; it often indicates an unhealthy mouth.

Many pet owners overlook their pets’ dental health. We provide dental care using ultrasonic cleaners and polishers to help keep their teeth healthy. Good dental hygiene is essential, as dental disease can lead to serious health issues like heart and kidney disease.

We’re committed to helping your pet live a long, healthy life. Call us today to discuss your pet’s dental care needs!

Microchipping

Microchips offer a safe and permanent way to identify pets. About the size of a grain of rice, a microchip is injected under your pet’s skin and carries a unique number that can be scanned to access the owner’s contact information.

Local shelters, police departments, and veterinary clinics have universal scanners. Lost pets without tags are scanned, and if microchipped, can be quickly reunited with their families. Pets without a chip or tag have a much lower chance of returning home.

Boarding

We provide safe boarding for cats and dogs. Cats stay in separate “cat condos,” while dogs can room with family.

Dogs get out for exercise and potty breaks at least three times daily. Pets can bring their own supplies or we can provide them.

All pets must be current on vaccinations, and any fleas will be treated at an extra cost.

Call us to spoil your pets while you’re away!

Theraputic Laser

We use a cold laser therapy after most surgical procedures to shorten healing time, reduce pain, increase circulation and decrease swelling. We have had great success using it for neck and back pain, as well as wound healing.

Euthanasia Services

Our compassionate team is here to support you during this difficult time with hospice services that prioritize your pet’s comfort and dignity. We can accommodate special requests and answer any questions you have about your pet’s care and remains. Deciding on hospice or euthanasia is personal, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our humane services are conducted with respect and care, so please call us to discuss how we can help you and your pet.
