Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy

The word “cancer” instills a great deal of fear in most people. Almost everyone knows someone who has battled this dreaded condition. Animals get cancer, too. As with people, it is important to identify the cell type of cancer. The many different “cell-types” have dramatically different biologic behaviors within the body. Identifying the type of cancer and the area of the body affected helps your veterinarian to give you information you need to choose the best course of treatment. A thorough physical examination and some basic tests need to be done to start the assessment of the condition. With this […]

Exceptional Dental Care Commonly referred to as a “Dental” or “Teeth Cleaning”, a thorough, professional oral cleaning and assessment is essential for patient health and comfort. Animals quietly endure severe dental disease and pain without showing any signs of discomfort. Many clients are more concerned about the anesthesia; than the disease, infection and chronic pain associated with untreated dental disease. Attempting to perform dental care without appropriate sedation is unsafe, ineffective and cruel. We provide exceptional dental care, using optimal anesthetic techniques and monitoring protocols for patient safety. We are dedicated to providing referral quality dental care and advanced dental […]

Endodontic Dentistry

Endodontic treatment is necessary in the restoration and preservation of vital teeth within the mouths of dogs and cats to include canine and major chewing teeth (carnassial teeth). Dogs and cats who break their teeth from blunt trauma (frisbee throwing, tug toys, fights) and chewing on hard objects (elk and deer horns, hooves, rocks and hard chews) will highly benefit from these essential dental treatments.

Every year on April 22, Earth Day reminds us to appreciate our beautiful planet and protect it. But did you know your pets can be a part of the celebration? Here are some fun and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Earth Day with your animal companions: Go Green at Home: Hit your local trails: Lace up your walking shoes, grab your leash, and head outdoors with your dog for a nature hike. Explore new trails, breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the scenery together. Backyard fun: Don’t have time for a long hike? No problem! Create an Earth Day obstacle course in your backyard with recycled materials like cardboard boxes and tunnels. Your cat can chase a feathery toy through the “eco-maze” while your bunny enjoys hopping over cardboard “hurdles.” Park clean-up: Help keep our parks clean by picking up trash with your furry companion by your side. This is a great way to bond with your pet while giving back to the environment. Just remember to bring biodegradable poop bags! Plant a pet-friendly garden: Planting a garden is a fantastic way to improve air quality and create shade for your furry/feathery companions. Choose trees, flowers, and herbs that are safe for your animals such as catnip, parsley, or oat grass. This is a fun and sustainable way to provide your furry friend with a healthy snack, too.
