Ruby visited us for her kennel cough vaccine, isn’t she cute!
The Bordetella vaccine helps protect dogs against one of the most common causes of kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory illness that can spread anywhere dogs gather—including boarding facilities, grooming salons, dog parks, daycare, training classes, and even during social playdates.
For the best protection, we recommend boosting the Bordetella vaccine every 6 months, especially for dogs who are frequently around other dogs. Staying up to date helps reduce your pet's risk of illness and keeps our canine community healthier.
If you're not sure when your dog's last Bordetella vaccine was, we're happy to help you check their records and get them scheduled!
📞 Contact us today to book your dog's next vaccine appointment—and remember, we can bring veterinary care right to your home with our convenient mobile services!

🏡❤️ There’s no place like home.
After surgery, comfort and rest are some of the most important parts of recovery. That’s why we love helping our patients get back to the place they feel safest—their own home.
Our mobile veterinary services allow us to provide follow-up care, rechecks, and medical support right where your pet is most comfortable. For many pets, avoiding additional trips to the clinic can reduce stress and make recovery a little easier.
This sweet patient is on the way home after a successful procedure, ready for plenty of naps, cuddles, and healing. We’re honored to be part of their journey every step of the way—from surgery day to recovery at home.
🐾 Wishing this brave patient a smooth and speedy recovery!

🐾 What’s happening beneath the surface? X-rays help us find out! 🩻
Our pets can't tell us when something is wrong, which is why diagnostic imaging is such an important tool in veterinary medicine. X-rays allow veterinarians to see inside the body and help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including broken bones, arthritis, foreign body ingestion, bladder stones, heart disease, and more.
By providing a clear picture of what's happening internally, X-rays help us make accurate diagnoses and create the best treatment plan for your pet. Whether your furry friend is limping, coughing, experiencing stomach issues, or simply needs a closer look, radiographs can provide valuable answers.
Early diagnosis can make all the difference in your pet's health and comfort. If you have concerns about your pet, our team is here to help.
🐶🐱 Because they can't tell us what's wrong—but their X-rays often can.

These handsome boys spent the day with us recently to get neutered!
Neutering your dog is one of the best ways to support their long-term health and well-being 🐾
Neutered dogs often have a lower risk of certain cancers, unwanted behaviors, and roaming tendencies — helping them live healthier, safer lives. It also plays an important role in reducing pet overpopulation in our communities.
Have questions about when to neuter your pup? Our team is here to help guide you every step of the way ❤️
