Exceptional Dental Care Commonly referred to as a β€œDental” or β€œTeeth Cleaning”, a thorough, professional oral cleaning and assessment is essential for patient health and comfort. Animals quietly endure severe dental disease and pain without showing any signs of discomfort. Many clients are more concerned about the anesthesia; than the disease, infection and chronic pain associated with untreated dental disease. Attempting to perform dental care without appropriate sedation is unsafe, ineffective and cruel. We provide exceptional dental care, using optimal anesthetic techniques and monitoring protocols for patient safety. We are dedicated to providing referral quality dental care and advanced dental […]

Pet of the Month

We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.

  • Cheyenne

    For July, meet Cheyenne, our newest Pet of the Month β€” and a total superstar in every way. πŸ’›

    Cheyenne and her owner, Eryn, love going swimming and traveling together. Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll tell you: she doesn’t just enjoy swimming… she lives for it. Yes, yes, YES!

    🎾 Favorite Toy: A tennis ball β€” or honestly any ball she can chase.

    πŸ– Favorite Treat: Dehydrated lamb lung fillets (a pro athlete needs her fuel).

    πŸ›οΈ Favorite Place to Sleep: Eryn’s bed, of course.

    πŸ… Special Talents: Catching balls mid‑air, swimming like a champ, and competing in Confirmation, NASDA, and Fast CAT.

    πŸ€ͺ Quirky Behavior: The moment she sees a ball, she becomes hilariously laser‑focused. Game on.

    Cheyenne brings joy, energy, and heart to everything she does β€” and we’re so excited to celebrate her this month. πŸ’›πŸΎ
