From preventative screenings to sophisticated diagnostics.

Veterinary Radiology (X-rays)

Using radiography, we are able to produce high-quality diagnostic images of your pet’s tissues, organs, and bones. X-rays help us look for arthritis, broken bones, foreign objects, dental issues, enlarged organs, or respiratory dysfunction.

Ultrasound

Using sound waves, a vet ultrasound generates images of the inside of your pet's body, such as muscles, tendons, joints, organs, and blood vessels. Ultrasound images are often ordered by your vet alongside x-rays, to get a more complete picture of your pet’s health.

Tonometry

Tonometry is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the pressure inside your pet’s eyes. Increased pressure in your pet’s eyes can be dangerous and can lead to diseases like glaucoma and uveitis. Tonometry is an easy way to check the pressure of your pet's eyes without having to sedate them.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG is a gentle test we use to listen to what's happening in your pet's heart. It can spot if their heart is too big, if there's a murmur, signs of heart failure, or if the beat is off rhythm. We also check with an EKG before any surgery to make sure their heart can handle the anesthesia. It's completely painless—your pet won't feel a thing! This test is a crucial step in making sure we take the best care of your pet's heart.

Chiropractic Care

Pet chiropractic care aims to find and fix subluxations (misalignments of the vertebrae) without surgery or medication. This therapy aims to improve nerve communication throughout the body, aiding in healing. It's beneficial for pets that are injured, unwell, or even those in good health, supporting overall well-being and recovery.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, a therapeutic technique involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body, is an excellent way to alleviate pain and inflammation in pets. It's particularly effective for managing common pet conditions such as arthritis, developmental bone issues, disc disease, and tendon or ligament injuries.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCVM)

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) includes special diets and acupuncture for pets. This approach looks at your pet's health holistically, aiming to gently improve their well-being over time. These herbs can help dogs and cats with many different health issues.
