Laser Therapy

Veterinary laser therapy is growing in popularity due to its remarkable ability to manage pain and help restore tissue in animals. Similar to alternative therapies like acupuncture or alternative medicine for humans, laser therapy often helps animals recover from surgery or injury. We use targeted, therapeutic lasers to stimulate cell growth and repair—thereby helping to restore damaged tissue, regrow blood vessels, and increase oxygen flow that can alleviate your pet’s pain.

Spaying & Neutering

Among the most common veterinary procedures in America, spaying and neutering pets helps prevent unwanted animal pregnancies and can improve your pet’s health. Spaying removes a female animal’s ovaries—preventing uterine infections and cancers, and neutering removes a male animal’s testicles—improving behavior and preventing unwanted litters or cancer.

Internal Surgery

If you’re a pet owner, you know that, if your dog or cat can reach it, it may wind up in their mouth. Pets sometimes eat things they shouldn’t. Sometimes, surgery is required to remove foreign objects from a pet’s stomach or intestines. Internal surgery is also used to remove tumors, stones, or other growths.
