WE ❤️ OUR PATIENTS!
Our patients are the reason we do what we do. The wagging tails, soft paws, hearty purrs... They bring light, joy, and purpose to even the toughest of days.

Not every case is sunshine and rainbows. To every pet who has given so much back to us, put a smile on our face, we love you. Our patients are the heart of this hospital. It is our pleasure to comfort, advocate for, and nurse you back to health. ❤️🏥

Clark Bar wants to show the world how he feels about his laser therapy and cool shades. 😎 As laser therapy continues to rise in popularity, we wanted to chat about it! In a nutshell, the wavelength of light penetrates into the layers of cells to stimulate a biological response that may improve healing times and trigger natural anti-inflammatory properties. This can be used for numerous conditions, including (but not limited to):
◦ Arthritis/Degenerative Joint Disease
◦ Acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain
◦ Wound healing
◦ Inflammation
◦ Edema.. and so much more!
