Reception Area
Our friendly staff will greet you upon entrance. The spacious
reception area has comfortable seating and is designed
to allow for a smooth traffic flow in and out of our hospital.
We do our best to provide prompt and efficient service. |
Exam Room
After checking in, our nursing staff will escort you to
one of our four exam rooms. The rooms are ample in size
and can accomodate the whole family. Before seeing the
doctor, the nurse will weigh your pet, take the temperature,
obtain a history and discuss preventative health care
issues with you. Our doctors will then provide a thorough
and comprehensive examination and make recommendations
for treatment or care. We even offer treats here for your
pets! |

Pharmacy
In an effort to provide one-stop-shopping for our clients,
we offer an extensive and well stocked veterinary pharmacy
to meet all of your pet's prescription needs. Non-prescription
products, such as flea/tick medications (Advantage, Program,
and Frontline) are also available. |
Dental Station
Proper dental care is important in the health and well-being
of your pet. Our dental station is well equipped to meet
all of your pet's dental needs. Many procedures, such
as teeth cleaning, dental x-rays, extractions and oral
surgery are performed here. A healthy mouth is a healthy
pet! |

Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory allows our nursing staff to provide
fast and accurate diagnostic tests, such as blood tests,
urinalysis, and fecal exams. This aids our doctors in
obtaining a quick diagnosis and initiate treatment as
soon as possible. |
Surgery Suite Our surgical suite is where all surgeries are performed under strict sterile conditions. We provide the safest anesthetics available and comprehensive patient monitoring throughout the surgery until full recovery. The suite is well-equipped with the latest anesthetic monitoring devices, surgical instruments, and equipment (including a surgical laser). |

Radiology Room
Shown here are our veterinary nurses taking an abdominal
x-ray on a dog. X-rays are valuable in diagnosing such
conditions as fractures, internal organ enlargement, heart/lung
diseases and bladder stones. |
Treatment Area
This area is where your pet receives
its treatment while hospitalized. It is a very busy part
of the hospital, being occupied by our veterinary nurses
and doctors throughout the day. Diagnostic procedures
such as obtaining blood/urine samples, anesthetizing and
preparing patients for surgeries, and patient evaluations
are some of the other common activities performed here. |
 |
 |
Nurses' Station
This area is our "in-patient"
office. All hospitalized records are kept in this location.
Maintaining thorough and complete records are important
to patient care. This area keeps us well organized at
a glance. Here, patients' records are reviewed, necessary
treatments recorded, and owner discharge information is
completed. |
Wards/Hospitalization
Hospitalized patient care is sometimes
necessary in the treatment of your pet's illness. We strive
to make your pet's stay as comfortable and short as possible.
Patients are monitored and evaluated throughout the day
by our doctors and staff. Hospitalization also involves
good nursing care; feeding, cleaning and medicating patients.
Progress reports are given daily to pet owners of both
medical and surgical patients. |
 |
 |
Kennel/Boarding
Veterinarian supervised boarding for both
dogs and cats is provided in our climate controlled facility.
Due to limited space, reservations should be made in advance.
Current vaccines and a fecal sample are required at the
time of admittance. Each animal is kept in individual
stainless steel quarters. Indoor runs and an enclosed
outdoor courtyard provide an exercise area for our guests.
Bathing services, which include medicated and flea baths,
are also available. |
Doctors' Office/Library
Our doctors spend their valued time here to return calls,
discuss lab results, discuss hospitalized cases, and
consult with specialists. Our extensive library and
internet service provide the resources necessary to
maintain our high quality of medical care and preventative
medicine.
