Geriatric Care: As our pets age their needs change. We understand the differences and will guide you in caring for your aging pet. As with all medical fields, veterinary care is constantly evolving. We invest in staying up with current medical news and education to assure your family has the best care possible.
Dental Care: a healthy mouth is critical to your pet's quality of life and even has a significant impact on their longevity! Keeping up with your pet's dental care actually helps you reduce your overall veterinary expense. Ask us to explain on your next visit!

About Laser Surgery: Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. This knowledge gained in human medicine is beneficial for your pets. Your pet's health is as important to us as it is to you. We originally purchased our laser surgery equipment for the purpose of assuring the least pain and risk to our patients that are brought in for declawing. We were so pleased with the results that we became the first (and possibly only) clinic in Clark County Washington that uses laser exclusively for all soft tissue surgery.
Why laser surgery?
 |
Less Pain
The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts." As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable post operatively.
|
|
Less Bleeding The Laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. This reduces bleeding which reduces possible complications.
|
|
Less Swelling Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise tissue because the only thing that touches your pet is an invisible beam of light. |
What does this mean for my pet?
|
Reduced risk of infection As the laser removes diseased tissue, it seals the skin and reduces the amount of bacteria present.
|
|
Precision The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse effects to healthy surrounding tissue.
|
|
Quick return to normal activities Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing.
