This allergen is what we're thought to be allergic to. Many of the longer, fluffier-haired breeds of cats shed more often and along with their dander.

Best Cat Breeds For People With Allergies

Some people think howling dogs are adorable, but some owners of dogs that howl frequently can be very annoyed with this behavior. 

Dog Howling: What Does It Mean?

Purring is the most common sound cats make and what owners are used to. Yet we know less about the unique sound than meowing, hissing, and growling. Many cat owners are taught that cat purrs are to show that the cat is happy, although a cat's meow has more meanings.

Comprehensive surgical services, from routine procedures to complex operations, all are performed with expert care.

Pet Surgeries

When pets get sick or injured, you want answers fast. Advanced imaging gives us a deeper look, without invasive procedures. 


Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

When your pet isn't acting like itself, diagnostic testing helps us find the reason. From bloodwork, urine testing, and fecal exams to x-rays, these tests give us a window into what's happening inside, so we can take action before things get worse.

Diagnostic Testing

Bad breath isn't just annoying - it's often a sign of deeper health issues. Dental disease in pets can lead to oral pain, local or systemic infection, tooth loss, and even heart, liver, or kidney complications. 

Dental Care

Fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms are not just a nuisance, they are dangerous. These tiny pests can cause serious health issues like Lyme disease, heartworm disease, and tapeworms. 

Parasite Prevention

Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to protect pets from serious, often deadly diseases. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or a relaxed senior cat, vaccinations help your pet build strong immunity and avoid preventable illness.
