General Services
Consultations
Our two consultation rooms are spacious and equipped to deal with general consultations. General consultations, wellness exams and vaccinations are done in these rooms. An equine call out service is available by appointment.
General wellness exams
Annual wellness exams for young and senior pets provide significant health benefits and allow for early detection and treatment of health concerns. Blood work and vaccines are an essential part of preventative care.
We offer complete dental care which includes extractions, scaling and polishing.
Parrot Groomings
Beak trimming is done for a few reasons. The beak of normal birds should not require trimming, but lack of adequate wear could lead to an overgrowth of the beak. Excessively long nails can easily be caught in toys, carpets, or other objects, leading to injury. Trimming nails, therefore, is important for bird and owner when too long. Clipping of the wings is performed to limit the flight of the parrot for safety purposes.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a procedure that we highly recommend to all our clients. This procedure has proven its value repeatedly in assisting to reunite lost pets with their families.
Radiology and Ultrasound
Our clinic boasts a digital radiography unit, which enables us to get higher quality images in a quicker time than ever before. We also have a high-resolution digital ultrasound unit to assist with diagnoses in ill pets, as well as pregnancy diagnosis and check-ups.
Dentistry
We have a well-equipped dental area with an ultrasonic scaler and polisher to address your pet’s dental problems. Periodontal disease and dental problems are commonplace in our companion animals and dental health is extremely important for overall health in our pets.
