    Our exam table goes clear to the floor so we don't have to lift patients. It is also a scale that weighs the pet on each visit. A warm, comfortable mat covers the table.

    This is also the dental area where we clean teeth and take dental x-rays. The dental x-ray machine can be seen attached to the wall. We now have digital dental x-ray processing so images can be taken and viewed quicker, allowing less anesthesia time for our patients. This dental service is very important to identify "cat cavities" and periodontal disease.

    We have six large inside runs for dogs that are climate controlled. Dogs are walked outside at least twice daily. Large plastic racks are provided so the dogs are up off the floor. They enjoy music while they are staying with us. We have two large exercise pens outside.

  • Our Quiet Room for Cats

    /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=61025

    Our feline patients and boarders can enjoy a room without barking dogs. Some of the cages are "condos" so the cat can have more room and go from one cage to another.
