Dental Care
Promoting Disease Prevention
Dental hygiene for our pets cannot be over emphasized, not only to prevent loss of teeth, but, to prevent such secondary problems as heart, kidney, and liver disease that can result from infected gums.
Dental tartar, reddened bleeding gums, difficulty eating and foul breath are common signs of tooth and gum disease. Contrary to popular belief, chewing treats will no more keep teeth clean than will chocolate chip cookies. Regular dental cleaning with both our modern ultrasonic and high speed dental equipment is an effective step toward the prevention of diseases associated with tartar accumulation and gum disease. If dental extractions or intraoral radiographs (within the mouth X-rays) are needed, we have a state of the art high speed drilling unit and a special dental x-ray unit to take care of it quickly and easily.
Radiology and Diagnostic Ultrasound
Looking inside
Our hospital is equipped with the most up-to-date radiology (X-ray) equipment. We have a new 400mA Summit X-ray machine (the most powerful available), top of the line rare earth X-ray cassettes, and a fully automatic X-ray processor to insure the best quality radiographs possible on our patients. We also have the first intraoral dental x-ray unit in the area which we use to detect dental problems that are underneath the gumline. All of our radiographs are reveiwed by Dr. Micheal Wise, a veterinarian who specializes in veterinary radiology.
Dr. Wise also performs diagnostic ultrasounds, echocardiograms, video endoscopy, and bronchcoscopy at our practice. This allows our patients to have access to these special diagnostic tests when they are necessary, while still receiving the benefits of having a specialist perform the testing.

Surgery
Unconditional Excellence
Whether we are performing spays or neuters or the most complicated cancer or orthopedic procedures, each case is approached in a manner to ensure the safety and smooth recovery of your pet. All operations are approached with extreme caution.
We utilize the finest equipment in anesthesia and monitoring to make the safest possible outcome. Your pet is evaluated pre-operatively to determine the best anesthetic agent to use and a trained anesthetist is assigned each case, staying with your pet from the administration of the anesthetic, right through until your pet is completely awake and out of danger. All our patients are monitored with the most modern equipment available which continually checks the pets blood oxygen levels, heart rate, electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, and temperature.
