Doppler Blood Pressure: Just as in human medicine, blood pressure is a very important to measure and monitor in pets. Blood pressure measurements are more difficult to obtain in pets than in people, that is why we use a doppler unit, the most accurate non-invasive method to obtain blood pressures in pets.

Tonometry: Glaucoma in pets is a serious and very painful disease of the eye. The accurate diagnosis of glaucoma is difficult without specialized equipment. We use a tonometer to quickly and accurately determine if your pet's intra-occular pressures are too high - the primary indicator of glaucoma. The procedure takes only seconds to perform and causes no discomfort to the patient.
Dentistry: Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions, oral surgery and dental X-Rays.

Electrocardiography Services: We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.

Laboratory: Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing.
Ultrasonography: Ultrasounds are done using a noninvasive imaging technique that generally does not require sedation and causes minimal stress to your pet. Utilizing ultrasounds allows us to carefully examine your pet’s internal anatomy, primarily the abdominal organs, and provide accurate diagnosis and treatment.
