Reception Area

Our reception area is quite a spacious room allowing pets and owners room to spread out if need be. There is more than meets the eye in our wildlife painting. Next time you are in, take a closer look in the giraffe and find many other animals painted in her spots.

Our receptionists work diligently to keep our reception area just that, we do not like to refer to it as "the waiting room". Our goal is not to keep you waiting, as we know that your time is valuable. We make a sincere effort to keep our appointment schedule running on time. Upon checkout, be sure to add your name to our e-mail list if you are interested in receiving our E-Newsletter.

Exam Rooms

Our four exam rooms give the doctors a private area to examine your pet and perform minor procedures. We recommend preparing a list of questions and/or concerns before your visit to ensure that we cover all your concerns. Please enjoy the educational literature while there.

Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory gives us the flexibility to have lab results within minutes. This has proven to be quite an asset for our presurgical patients as well as patients who are ill. Having to wait for laboratory results coming from an outside laboratory can be inconvenient for you and also delay the start of treatment for our sick patients.

Pharmacy

For your convenience, we have a full line pharmacy in our hospital. Having the capability to dispense prescriptions saves you a trip to the local drug store after your visit. When having medications refilled, we ask that you call ahead to give our staff adequate time to obtain approval from the doctor and then to prepare the prescription.

Treatment Room

 This area is a multi purpose area. Our treatment room is the "hub" of the hospital for our doctors and staff. In this area we have a written protocol for each and every patient in our care. We refer to that patient listing continually throughout the day.

We also perform many procedures in our treatment area. Our wet table allow procedures such as dental cleanings and ear flushes. And on our dry table, we perform many procedures from examinations to presurgical preparation.

Surgery

Our surgical suite is a sterile room where all surgical procedures are performed. The equipment seen in the picture is all related to surgery and/or anesthesia. Our anesthetic machines are used to deliver the gas anesthesia to your pet during general anesthesia. We utilize both respiratory monitors and EKG monitors during surgical procedures. Although all of these machines are important for anesthetic safety, nothing can monitor your pet better and more closely than our highly trained technicians. A technician is assigned to each pet before any procedure is performed and she stays with that pet during surgery, monitoring vital signs throughout. Our goal is to create the safest possible anesthetic episode possible for every patient.

Radiology

This room is where all x-rays are taken and developed. Our x-ray machine has the capacity to radiograph a pet as small as a hamster or as large as a Great Dane. This versatility is important for us to offer full service veterinary care to a wide variety of pets. Our automatic x- ray processor allows our radiographs to be developed, dried, and ready to be evaluated by the veterinarian in just a few minutes. We also have and perform endoscopic and ultrasound procedures.

Grooming

Your pet's "Day of Beauty" takes place in our grooming room. With three groomers grooming about 15 cats and dogs each day, this room stays busy and furry! Complete grooming service includes a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, and hair cut. The groomers put the "fluff" back in your cat or dog. Grooms are taken by appointment only, so call ahead to assure availability.

Boarding

While you are away from home, we can care for your pets in our spacious kennel. Our goal is to mimic your pets home schedule. "There's no place like home", but we sure can try!

Our feline guests enjoy private rooms and get out to play each day, while our canine guests can have either private or shared runs (only other family members please!). The dogs are let outside three times each day for fresh air and exercise in our fenced yard. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure we have space for your pet during your traveling time. Please visit our "lodging"section to read about vaccination requirements and what to bring for a boarding stay.
