We offer vaccine titers to determine the need for booster vaccinations, as well as 3-Year rabies and 3-Year distemper vaccinations (depending on the individual animal and timing of the vaccinations). We offer a complete health package and a comprehensive senior workup to accommodate your pet's needs.

Diet is one of the most important aspects of your pet's health

Not all diets are created equal. AFFCO is the government agency that regulates dog/cat food. Many dog and cat food diets on the market today (some with amazing claims and beautiful pictures) can cause nutritional deficiencies and other serious illness. 

We offer a DIET ANALYSIS service that includes discussing your pet's diet and the different diet options that would best suit their specific needs. 

We sell SCIENCE / HILLS PRESCRIPTION diets, Purina Prescription diets, and Waltham prescription diets, as well as provide recipes for proven homemade diets.
