Laparoscopy and Arthroscopy
Laparoscopic Spays

Laser
Laser therapy using our Companion therapy laser system is a sterile, pain-free, drug-free, non-surgical procedure used to treat a wide range of injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, dermatological problems and pain.
This treatment encourages the body to heal from within by allowing injured cells to absorb non-thermal photons of light, which stimulates the cells quicker. This increases circulation, which reduces pain and speeds up healing. During a laser therapy session, your pet will receive a massage and a near-immediate decrease in pain. Therefore, your pet will be comfortable and eased from anxiety.
Laser therapy can be used for:
Pain relief
Wound healing
Arthritic conditions
Post surgical pain relief
Degenerative joint disease
Lick granulomas
Dermatological conditions
Periodontal Disease
Otitis
And many more conditions.
Lodging
When you need to go away, you can trust your pets with us. Our clean, temperature-controlled, indoor boarding facility is managed by a full staff of trained kennel technicians. We can also administer any medications or special food if you just let our technicians know!
For cats, we offer a room with multi-level cat condos and windows overlooking the trees and birds, providing them with interest and stimulation. Meanwhile, our canine boarding facility has enough sizes to keep any breed comfortable. For large dogs or dogs boarding together, we provide 3’ by 6’ runs, while we have several cage sizes for other dogs. In each run is a PetCot, while each cage has an orthopedic foam pad. All dogs are walked and exercised at least three times a day. For a tour of our boarding facility, call ahead. We offer tours Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
If you would like your pet to receive VIP treatment, for an extra $12 a day we give your dog two extra five-minute walks each day and daily brushing, while your cat receives two five-minute play sessions and a brushing each day.

Plus, we can offer boarding for these animals. Be sure to call ahead before bringing in your exotic animal, as we schedule these appointments differently.
