Services
Emergency
Our Emergency & Critical Care service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, because emergencies don’t follow a schedule. Our kind, compassionate, and highly skilled emergency veterinarians are prepared to care for pets facing a wide range of urgent and critical conditions. Our goal is to deliver prompt, thorough care while keeping you informed every step of the way, and to work closely with your primary care veterinarian to ensure seamless follow-up and the best possible outcome for your pet.
Surgery
Having a board-certified surgeon on our team allows us to provide advanced and specialized surgical care when it matters most. In addition, most of our veterinarians are highly experienced in performing a wide range of emergency procedures, including splenectomies, cesarean sections, gastric dilatation–volvulus (GDV) surgery, laceration repair, and foreign body removal. Together, our team is equipped to respond quickly and skillfully to both routine and complex surgical needs.
Humane Euthanasia
We understand how difficult it is to face end-of-life decisions for a beloved pet. When the time comes to say goodbye, our team is here to support you with compassionate, humane euthanasia services in a calm and respectful setting. If desired, we can also assist with arranging cremation services to help you honor your pet in a way that feels right for your family.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography (X-rays) plays an important role in diagnosing a wide range of illnesses and injuries in pets. X-rays allow our veterinarians to quickly and safely evaluate internal structures and identify many conditions, including:
Bone fractures
Gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV)
Suspected gastric or intestinal foreign bodies
Fluid accumulation in the lungs
Enlargement of the heart
Suspected abdominal masses
By providing clear, detailed images, digital radiographs help our team make timely, informed decisions so your pet can receive appropriate care as quickly as possible.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging tool that plays a critical role in evaluating pets experiencing trauma or life-threatening emergencies. It allows our veterinarians to rapidly assess internal organs and soft tissues in real time and identify conditions such as:
Internal bleeding or free fluid within the abdomen or chest
Splenic abnormalities or rupture
Abdominal or thoracic trauma, including blunt force injury
Urinary bladder rupture or urinary tract obstruction
Gastrointestinal obstruction or abnormal intestinal motility
Cardiac abnormalities requiring immediate assessment
By providing rapid, detailed imaging at the point of care, ultrasound helps our team make urgent, informed decisions and initiate appropriate treatment without delay.
In House Labs
Our in-house laboratory equipment allows us to obtain rapid, real-time diagnostic results when your pet needs them most. These results help our veterinarians quickly assess your pet’s condition, guide treatment decisions, and select appropriate medications without unnecessary delays. In an emergency setting, having immediate access to lab information supports faster stabilization, closer monitoring, and timely adjustments to care as your pet’s condition evolves.
CT Imaging
We are proud to offer advanced CT imaging to provide rapid, highly detailed diagnostic information for your pets. This non-invasive technology allows our team to evaluate complex internal structures with exceptional clarity, helping identify injuries and conditions that may not be visible on other imaging modalities. In an emergency and surgical setting, CT imaging supports faster, more precise decision-making and helps guide timely, targeted treatment for your pet.
