Wellness Programs
Preventative medicine is the core of your pet’s care. This includes physical exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, spaying and neutering, good nutrition, behavior counseling and providing you with the information to help your pet live a long and healthy life.

Nutritional Counseling
We offer Hills, Royal Canin, and Purina Prescription diets. Many medical problems can be managed with proper diets. Keep in mind that you have to feed your pet anyway, so why not feed something that will make a difference in their health. Feeding a premium, high quality food from the start of your pets life with you can dramatically help extend the quality and length of your pets life. For this reason, we recommend Annamaet Pet Foods for all stages of life as a maintenance diet. Annamaet is made in the USA with all natural, human grade ingredients of the highest quality.
