• BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE

  Illness doesn't always have a physical cause. We employ trained animal behaviorists who often times help determine the cause of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develop a treatment regimen for the client.

• DENTAL CARE

  Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.
