Prices range from $60 to $500 depending on pet size, species, and complexity, with all procedures performed by experienced veterinarians using modern surgical techniques.
Dental Care
We provide comprehensive dental services including cleaning, scaling, and tooth extractions for pets. Using advanced equipment, our team addresses gum disease and dental issues under anesthesia for thorough treatment. Regular dental checkups help prevent serious oral health problems in 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by age three.

Our surgical team specializes in fracture repairs, ligament treatments, and amputations using state-of-the-art equipment. We handle both routine and complex orthopedic cases with personalized recovery plans.

We offer on-site laboratory analysis, digital radiography, and ultrasound imaging for rapid diagnosis. Our diagnostic capabilities include blood testing, microscopic analysis, and advanced imaging to identify illnesses or injuries. Quick results enable prompt treatment decisions, improving patient outcomes through early intervention.

Our structured puppy preschool program teaches socialization skills and basic obedience training.
