Rosie came in for her spay surgery and was showered with love every step of the way. Our team provided the highest quality care from pre-op snuggles to post-op recovery. Krista, one of our technicians, made sure Rosie got the royal treatment fit for the princess that she is!
Spaying your female dog or cat not only helps prevent unwanted litters, but it also reduces the risk of serious health issues like uterine infections and certain types of cancer. It can also help minimize behavioral challenges.
Your pet companions are in good hands. They’re family to you and they’re family to us. Have questions about the right time to spay your pet? Give us a call. We’re here to help guide you every step of the way.

Sarge, a 5-month-old Ragdoll cat, came in to be neutered and completely charmed the entire clinic. He spent his pre-op time making the rounds. You could find him snuggling in Renee’s arms, lounging in our pharmacy technician’s lap and on the counter, and hanging out on the windowsill in our practice manager’s office.
Neutering male cats like Sarge helps reduce unwanted behaviors such as roaming and spraying. It also prevents unplanned litters and lowers the risk of certain health issues.
After surgery, Sarge sported his inflatable collar like a champ and continued soaking up all the love.
We know any surgery can cause pet caregivers and their companions to feel nervous, so we spend our time ensuring you are well informed and your pet is comfortable and ready for surgery- just ask Sarge! If you have questions about the best time to neuter your kitten, we’re here to help.

Summer is right around the corner. With warm weather and summer walks comes the likelihood of your pet companion encountering ticks. Lyme disease is extremely common in our region, and tick season is already in full swing. Protecting your pet with a Lyme vaccine and year-round tick prevention is one of the best ways to keep them safe and healthy.
Arthur, a sweet 5-month-old Newfoundland, came in for his Lyme vaccination just in time to begin his summer adventures exploring the great outdoors! We loved being able to protect this curious and lovable little guy.

At 12 years old, sweet Gracie was showing signs of arthritis and lameness. These are common challenges many senior pets face as they age. To help ease her discomfort, she visited Dr. Parsons for an acupuncture session tailored just for her needs.
During each consult, Dr. Parsons gently evaluates your pet using a technique called myofascial palpation. This hands-on exam helps pinpoint areas of tension, pain, or dysfunction so treatment can be focused on where it's needed most.
While acupuncture is especially helpful for older pets dealing with arthritis or mobility loss, it can also support pets of any age. From post-surgical recovery to chronic pain, digestive issues, or even anxiety, this gentle, non-invasive therapy can improve comfort and well-being at any stage of life.
Gracie's journey reminds us that growing older doesn’t mean growing uncomfortable... and that thoughtful, compassionate care can help pets feel their best.
