Wellness Exams and Vaccines
We recommend bi-annual exams for pets as an essential part of their overall health care. Our technicians and veterinarians will ask about your pet’s behavior, lifestyle, diet, and exercise. We’ll also check on their current conditions, vaccination schedules, and past medical history. Complete Pet Dentistry
Our board-certified dentist and support staff offer a wide range

of dental care, including cleaning, extractions, and surgery. It’s important to control tartar build-up before it leads to problems such as gingivitis, abscesses, and periodontal disease, or more serious problems such as heart, liver and kidney disease. Pet Ultrasonography
Ultrasound allows us to look at a monitor and see the architecture of different organs and search for abnormalities like masses or foreign materials. We can also perform fine needle biopsies without the need for surgery. Pet Surgery
Various pet surgery options are available for your dog and/or cat including elective surgeries, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries. We always recommend a full physical examination of your pet to determine the best pre-surgical and surgical options. Pet Dermatology
There are hundreds of pet skin conditions recognized in dogs and cats. When unchecked, these pet skin conditions can get out of hand and cause major suffering to your pet. Our veterinarians are skilled in many diagnostic methods to determine the cause and prescribe the proper treatments for your pet’s problems. Pet X-ray Services
We offer digital radiography and review by a board-certified radiologist to quickly detect issues so that treatment can commence as soon as possible. Pet Cremation Services
Cremation can play an important role in helping you honor and remember a beloved pet that has passed away. We have our own crematory and will provide your pet with a respectful and dignified farewell. Pet Boarding
We provide pet boarding for dogs and cats. Our supervision includes exercise and feeding. Immunization is required. Pregnancy and Reproduction
A full range of reproductive services are available from ovulation timing to cesarean sections. Besides having the only active canine semen freezing lab in the state (at Waipahu Waikele location only), we have the experience you can trust when planning your breeding. Alternative Medicine
Pet Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of disorders, including osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, and forelimb or hind limb weakness due to nerve damage. Pet acupuncture is also widely used for many other conditions, such as liver and kidney disease, skin conditions, and reproductive disorders. Laser Therapy promotes healing in a safe, non-surgical way with no side effects. It can be used to treat arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, general pain, degenerative joint conditions, neurological pain, and soft tissue injuries.

Do you like scruffy, shorthair, or longhair dogs? This is Honey Girl! She was found as a stray and brought to us for puppy vaccines! Mahalo to her new ohana for giving her a chance to love and be loved ❤️
💙
At her exam, Honey Girl also tested positive for Canine Ehrlichiosis - a bacterial infection that is transmitted via ticks. Even though no tick species are native to Hawaii and our strict agricultural regulations try to prevent the infiltration of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme Disease, ticks do still make it on the islands. While there have been very few cases of Ehrlichiosis is humans, Canine Ehrlichiosis has been observed for many years. Treatment is effective and easy when the disease is caught early - a four-week course of antibiotics to thoroughly eliminate the infection is generally all it takes! If the patient is already presenting clinically and experiencing severe anemia (low red blood cells) or having bleeding episodes caused by thrombocytopenia (low platelets), an emergency blood transfusion may be needed to sustain life while treating the patient for the infection itself. Canine Ehrlichiosis is believed to be non-transmittable to humans or other animals. It often goes unnoticed by owners in these beginning stages because their animal does not show any clinical symptoms. Typically, if the owner agrees, testing for common vector disease such as Ehrlichiosis will be completed on a pet that was a stray or that actively has fleas/ticks.
💙
The use of flea and tick preventatives is recommended even if your pet is mostly indoors - sometimes all it takes is a single flea or tick to transmit a disease… and all it takes is two to become a hundred. Preventatives are the most effective way to prevent sometimes fatal diseases and conditions caused by fleas and ticks.

Bentley donated blood today! 🩸Blood donations are a crucial part of emergency veterinary medicine; blood transfusions are used in cases of extreme blood loss due to trauma or surgery, anemia, cancers, toxins that cause internal bleeding (such as rat poison), and blood-related diseases.
💙
Just like with humans, there are health requirements in order for a dog to be a suitable donor. Age and weight can vary between different donation programs, but dogs are typically between 1 and 9 years of age and heavier than 40 pounds without being overweight. They must be in good health, take no medications other than flea, tick, and heart worm preventatives, and be up to date on vaccinations. Different programs may have additional requirements. Due to these conditions, shortages of donations are not uncommon and suitable donors can be difficult to find.
💙
Cats can also donate blood! Cats must be in good health, updated on vaccines, take no medications other than preventatives, be between 1 and 10 years of wave, weigh over 10lbs without being overweight, and must be indoor-only to minimize risk of blood-borne parasites and diseases.

February is Pet Dental Health Month! 🦷🪥
Just as with humans, proper dental care is paramount to the overall health and quality of life in pets. As they are unable to maintain a hygiene routine on their own, it is our responsibility as pet owners to give them the care they need!
💙
With dental disease being one of the most prevalent, painful, and costly afflictions in cats and dogs, we’re all about prevention. Training young puppies and kittens to tolerate teeth brushing and oral exams is the first step to ensuring good dental health. Brushing your pet’s teeth multiple times a week will help reduce plaque buildup.
💙
We recommend regular dental cleanings starting from 1-2 years of age. The frequency often depends on key factors such as age, breed, and pre-existing health conditions. Your vet will be able to work with you to determine risk factor and establish a routine that works for you and your pet.
