Services

Comprehensive Healthcare: We provide complete veterinary services for every stage in your pet's life, from their first vaccinations to a lifetime of preventive care to keep them happy and healthy. At Dr. PAWS we emphasize preventative healthcare and client education. Individualized vaccine protocols and parasite prevention programs are tailored to your pet's lifestyle. Because pets age faster than people, we recommend annual physical examinations. We also recommend microchipping as a permanent form of identification. We are committed to providing the information and resources necessary to help you make educated decisions about your pet's health care. We want you to understand your pet's healthcare plan and feel comfortable with the treatment your pet receives. Extended appointment times ensure that your questions and concerns can be addressed.
Surgery/Dental : Our surgical suite is equipped with the latest anesthetics and monitoring devices. All animals undergoing surgery are monitored closely throughout their procedure and recovery period. Orthopedic procedures and complicated soft tissue surgeries are referred to a local board-certified veterinary surgeon. Dental services include dental cleanings, tooth extractions, and minor oral surgery. Scheduled surgical procedures are performed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Laboratory Services: Our in-house laboratory allows us to have the results of many blood, urine and fecal tests in less than an hour. For specialized testing, we use an outside veterinary laboratory that can often have results to us in less than 24 hours.
Radiology/Ultrasound: State of the art diagnostic imaging machinery is located on-site and is available to doctors at all times. Telemedicine consults are also available.
Pharmacy: We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. Pharmacy refills can be called in for pick-up or can be shipped directly to you for a nominal fee. We also stock a full line of prescription diets.
