Care for dogs and cats is essential for ensuring their overall health and well-being. This care typically includes regular veterinary visits for wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite control. Vaccinations protect pets from common diseases such as rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia, while wellness exams allow veterinarians to detect any potential health issues early on. Additionally, preventative measures against parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms are crucial for maintaining the health of pets and preventing infestations that can lead to serious health problems. Proper nutrition, regular exercise, dental care, and grooming also play vital roles in maintaining the health and happiness of dogs and cats. By prioritizing routine preventative care, pet owners can help ensure their furry companions live long, healthy lives.

Is a groundbreaking procedure
that introduces beneficial bacteria from a healthy donor into a pet’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract to help restore a balanced microbiome and improve digestive health. It has shown promising results in pets with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic diarrhea or constipation, vomiting, recurrent infections, and allergies, and may be especially helpful for pets with a history of heavy antibiotic use, parasite treatment, or parvovirus. By supporting the gut and immune system, FMT may also help improve skin, ear, and overall wellness concerns.

We are thrilled to offer FMT, and based on anecdotal evidence from veterinary colleagues, we hope to see improvements in pets with anxiety, aggression, allergies, chronic ear infections, chronic anal gland infections/inflammation, and GI issues.

Is a non-invasive test that evaluates the mineral content of your pet’s hair to give insight into overall metabolic health. Because hair acts like a long-term record, HTMA can reveal patterns of mineral imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, and exposure to heavy metals that may not appear on routine bloodwork. This information helps us create a personalized plan — including diet, supplements, and detoxification support — aimed at restoring balance and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Is gaining popularity in holistic veterinary
medicine as a natural and effective treatment for various health issues in animals. This innovative therapy utilizes ozone, a special form of oxygen, to promote healing and overall well-being in pets.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone — a form of oxygen made of three oxygen atoms (O₃). The extra oxygen atom makes ozone highly reactive, allowing it to safely interact with and help neutralize harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. In veterinary medicine, ozone is used as a supportive therapy to help fight infection, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote tissue healing.

We offer three different methods of ozone administration, allowing us to tailor treatment to your pet’s specific condition and comfort level.
