Anything to heal your furry friend.
Thirty-minute appointments are scheduled to provide your pet with a comprehensive examination and address their medical needs. During the visit, your questions and concerns will be addressed and your pet’s treatment plan will be explained.

As our pets age, they benefit from special care and attention to detail for their lifestyle and aging changes. We created the Tender Transitions Program to meet those needs. Tender Transitions is a free program for you and your pet. Through contact with our nursing team, we help you assess your pet’s changing needs and support you and your pet through the aging process. We can make a variety of recommendations based on their condition, from changing the at home environment, to nutritional consults, supplement and medication recommendations as well as pain management plans tailored to your pet. We understand every pet is an individual and treat them as their own unique story.
Some conditions that affect senior pets are:
- Kidney disease, thyroid disease, diabetes
- Arthritis and mobility issues
- Cognitive (behavioral) dysfunction
- Sleep disturbances
- Low energy
