A Focused System Ultrasound is an in depth, focused scan on a group of organs pertaining to the clinical signs your pet may be showing.

It's Fear Free Friday!!

Let's change the narrative around muzzles. They aren't punishment, and they don't mean a dog is a "bad dog."

They CAN help reduce fear for your dog. Muzzles can help your dog navigate the world in a safe way. They can distract your pet during an exam, and when your dog feels safe, their brain can learn to relax. This means anxiety and stress for them, their owner, and their veterinarian! Win-win-win!
