Services
The single greatest contribution to improving life spans in humans has been dental care. This holds true for our pets as well. Preventative dental care and dental prophylaxis are important in helping to prevent future medical problems. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line.
Our in house laboratory and radiology equipment allow us to quickly and thoroughly evaluate your pet's health. Radiology - or X-rays - help our veterinarians evaluate musculoskeletal, cardiovascular(cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems. We also have equipment to screen for high blood pressure and glaucoma.
Each year, thousands of pets go missing, and many don't make it back home. Many pets (especially indoor pets) don't wear collars or tags. Even if your pet wears a collar and identification tag, collars can break off and tags can become damaged and unreadable, so these forms of identification may not be enough to ensure your pet's safe return.

First time coming to you facility with our 3 yr old pug. We were very happy from the moment we stepped in the door. Very friendly and personable staff. Dr. Sara was gentle and sweet with our furry baby. She was very knowledgeable and did not make us feel rushed. Any questions we had were answered in a way that was understandable. Our pug gave her lots of kisses at the end of his exam. We were very impressed with our first time here!

Never used this practice. However, Dr. Libby McVey is incompetent and has moved from place to place during her years of practice, never staying at any one practice for more than a couple of years. She killed my dog at a previous practice and I have seen a review of yet a third place where a puppy was also killed by this so-called vet. I would never consider using any vet practice where she is employed.

I took my Rufus pitbull lab here for all 12 years of his wonderful life. They always took care of him. He passed away couple weeks ago which is always difficult, but what I didn't expect was a letter in the mail from the staff giving me their well wishes. I just wanted to say thanks to the incredible staff for always taking care of Rufus when he needed his checkups. They didn't need to send a letter, but that just goes to show what kind of classy people they are!

This place is unreal. I made an appointment, responded to the appointment reminder texts etc. And then I showed up on time, and they had me wait in the parking lot on a hot day with my dog (telling me the doctor will call me- because of their COVID protocol). This is all fine (I support the safety), but then then 30 minutes roll buy, and no call! My poor dog (who is terrified of the car) is overheating, and I have the air up full blast, and its only helping somewhat, and time just keeps ticking. Finally, they call, and tell me I have to come back in the morning!
This is for a routine appointment, and they wasted my time (I had to take time from work/get a babysitter etc). They didn't plan ahead for difficult cases, or leave some flexibility with their vets so it became my problem. They seem to have lots of business so I doubt they care at all if they lose mine (they certainly had that attitude on the phone) but it really was a terrible experience for me, and for my poor dog. I have been going to vets for the past 40 years and have never had such poor service. Avoid at all costs.
