Cutting-Edge Imaging: Digital X-Ray & Ultrasound
Every wellness visit includes a thorough nose-to-tail exam to assess your pet’s coat, skin, eyes, ears, teeth, and overall health. Our veterinary team will collaborate with you to customize nutrition and lifestyle routines, administer vaccinations, and provide flea, tick, and parasite prevention. As your pet's needs evolve over the years, your veterinarian will work with you to address them at every life stage.
Digital X-Rays
A non-invasive, fast way to assess bones, joints, lungs, heart, and abdominal structures. Digital imaging provides high-resolution results with less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays.
Ultrasound
Uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs, tissues, and fluid movement. It’s especially valuable for evaluating the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and detecting tumors or pregnancies.
These tools help us diagnose conditions early, making treatment more effective and improving outcomes for your pet.
Comprehensive In-House Laboratory Testing
In addition to imaging, we offer a wide range of diagnostic tests to assess your pet’s health. With fast, accurate results, we can diagnose and begin treatment as quickly as possible.
- Full CBC/Chemistry Profile—Evaluates organ function, infection, and overall health
- Canine/Feline Pancreatic Function Test—Detects pancreatitis and other pancreatic disorders
- Thyroid Testing—Screens for hypothyroidism (dogs) or hyperthyroidism (cats)
- Heartworm Testing—A vital test to detect life-threatening heartworm infections
- Tick-Borne Disease Panel—Screens for Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma to catch these infections early
