BOARDING
Pets are like our children – we feed, nurture, and lavish attention on them. Our highly qualified kennel attendants do the same when you can't be there. We provide tender loving care.
 
DAY CARE
If the need arises, we can keep your pet for the day. No need to stress when you have guests, you’re getting the carpet cleaned, or repairs done.
 
DENTAL CARE
Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface. We use sealants to help create a tooth surface more resistant to tartar buildup.

We examine your pets teeth with their annual exam and will recommend cleaning when needed. Horses should get annual dental examination. We are equipped to examine your horses teeth and “float “ the sharp points off with hand and PowerFloat® equipment.
 
BATHING
Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Our special, cleansing baths remove dirt, debris, and pet odor – your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching or external parasites are a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that help stop the itching and treat fleas, ticks, and mites. Services also include body clipping, nail trims, anal gland expression, and ear cleaning. We can also refer you to a reputable dog groomer if you would like breed specific grooming.

SURGERY
We offer routine elective surgeries as well as emergency surgery and minor orthopedic procedures. We highly recommend optional pre-surgical blood testing tailored to your pet’s situation. This helps the doctor plan ahead and address any problems that we may not be able to see on the outside. We also highly recommend IV fluids to help support your pet’s internal organs during surgery. Surgical services and facilities include: well-trained veterinary and technical staff: laser surgery for some procedures; ECG , oxygen and co2 saturation monitors; after surgery care. For certain surgical procedures we may recommend and provide a referral to a board certified veterinary surgeon.

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
Some pets require special food, and all pets benefit from a balanced diet. Our trained staff is available to help you choose the right diet for your pet to keep him or her happy, healthy, and active.
 
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care. We highly recommend pain medication for all surgical procedures. Medication is also available for chronic pain, such as arthritis. The doctor will make recommendations for blood screening for your pet if these medications are indicated.
 
DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
Radiology uses X-rays to help our doctors evaluate musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary tract issues.

Ultrasound uses sound waves to help our doctors see more detail of the internal organs. The doctor will recommend this very useful imaging modality for gastrointestinal problems, to check for spread of cancer, and to evaluate the heart when needed, among many other things. Ultrasound procedures may be performed in the clinic or at a nearby imaging center.

Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) conditions often require advanced imaging such as MRI and CT Scan. Our feline friends with hyperthyroidism sometimes need specialized nuclear medicine therapy. Some cancer patients need bone scans. In these cases, we can refer your pet to Veterinary Imaging Center of South Texas in San Antonio where they have all of the specialized equipment available.
