Advanced Services



  • ULTRASOUND

    This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs.  Pregnancy exams are also available. 

  • ENDOSCOPY

    High-tech fiber optics permits direct visual examination and biopsies of your pet's gastrointestinal system.  This allows for more accurate diagnosis  and treatment of oral, esophageal, stomach, colon and even upper intestinal tract disease.  Foreign objects can also be removed without the need for surgery.    

  • CT SCAN

    Computed Tomogragphy, CT for short, utilizes x-ray technology and sophisticated computers to create images of cross-section "slices" through the body.  CT exams provide an overview of pathologies and enable rapid analyses and treatment plans.
    Outpatient imaging centers have served a very important role in human medicine for many years, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of human pathologies.  We feel the time has come to provide the same high quality, patient-friendly imaging services for veterinary medicine. 

  • HYDROTHERAPY

    Advances in veterinary medicine have been incredible in the last 20 years.  One of the most recent advances has been in the area of physical rehabilitation.  The benefits of human physical therapy have been adapted to meet the needs of our cherished companion animals.  Research indicates that loss of muscle mass begins 24 hours following surgery or serious injury.  When rehabilitation is delayed, stiffening of the joints and loss of muscle tone and control occur.  Our goal is to minimize the recovery period of your pet as well as increase mobility and overall quality of life.  The hydro treadmill therapy allows the body to bear less weight in the water which reduces the load of painful joints to permit comfortable exercise.   Hydroptherapy is also beneficial for weight reduction, arthritis/degenerative joint disease, sporting injuries, spinal conditions, and body conditioning in athletic working dogs.
