Your dedication to animal health and well-being will be supported by state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and professional growth. Our facility has in-house IDEXX laboratory equipment, in-house ultrasound, radiology, ICU/oxygen unit, and a surgical suite. We offer rehabilitation services such as cold-laser, and are expanding to offer dental services.
