Please call for an appointment; we are currently booking 2-4 weeks in advance. Depending on the severity of the issue your pet is experiencing, we may be able to offer drop-off appointments for emergencies. Doctors are on call as needed. We provide general medicine and surgery, and dental procedures. Common things we encounter are dermatology issues, allergic skin disease, ear infections, gastroin

testinal problems, and routine surgical and dental issues. We are not affiliated with any specific specialty practices, and we can help to secure the best match between you, your pet, and a veterinary specialist. Specialty referrals include internal medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, veterinary dentistry, behavior, cardiology, cancer therapy, and a host of others. For imaging such as X-Ray, Ultrasound, MRI or CT Scans, we utilize in-house equipment as well as traveling specialists to help aid in diagnostics. When specialists are necessary, our goal is to get your pet the best and most appropriate treatment... someone who does excellent work with whom you can relate well.

Sticks may seem harmless, but they can actually pose a risk to dogs. 🐶🪵Chewing on sticks can lead to splinters in the mouth, injuries to the gums, choking, and even pieces getting stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Some dogs may also injure their teeth from biting down on hard wood. If your dog loves to chew or carry sticks outside, it’s a good idea to redirect them to safer alternatives like durable chew toys or pet-safe fetch toys.

If your pet has trouble chewing, is pawing at the mouth, drooling more than usual, or seems painful after playing with a stick, it’s best to have them checked. Call (858) 459-1516 if you’re concerned.

Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and it only takes one bite to start an infection. Treatment is lengthy, costly, and stressful for pets, but the good news is heartworm is highly preventable with a simple monthly medication and annual testing.

We’ll help you pick the right plan for your pet’s age, lifestyle, and local risk so they stay protected year-round.
Call (858) 459-1516 to get started.

It only takes one mosquito bite to transmit heartworm disease. 🦟 Heartworms live in the heart and lungs and can cause serious, potentially life-threatening damage often before noticeable symptoms appear.

The good news: heartworm disease is preventable with regular medication. Protect your pet year-round and stay ahead of the risk. Call (858) 459-1516 to learn more about prevention options.

Did you know cats don’t just smell — they actually “taste” scents? 👃🐱
They use a special organ (the vomeronasal or Jacobson’s organ) and the Flehmen response (that funny face) to learn about food, territory, and friends. Scent is a huge part of how cats explore and communicate.

Even a quick outdoor adventure can expose an indoor cat to parasites, injuries, or infections. If your cat goes outside occasionally, make sure you’re protecting them with:

• Up-to-date vaccinations
• Annual wellness exams
• Microchip + visible ID tag
• Year-round parasite prevention (fleas, ticks and yes, cats can get heartworm)
• Supervised outings (harnesses or a secure yard) and a quick check for ticks/wounds after time outside

Fleas and ticks can be active in mild weather and cause more than itchy skin, they can lead to allergic dermatitis, secondary infections, and transmit serious diseases. The most effective protection is a year-round plan that’s tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and local risks.

Not sure what’s right for your dog or cat? Call (858) 459-1516 to schedule a quick consultation, we’ll help you choose safe, effective parasite prevention.

04/13/2026

An adult flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs in just 3–6 weeks which is why infestations spread so quickly. Regular parasite prevention and treating the environment stop the cycle before it starts.
Call (858) 459-1516 to find the right flea preventative for your pet.

🌿 Cat owners, check your houseplants!

Many common plants found in homes can be toxic to cats if chewed or eaten. Curious kitties love to explore, and even a small nibble of certain plants (like lilies, pothos, or snake plants) can cause serious health problems. If you think your cat may have ingested a harmful plant, contact poison control right away.

Questions about plant safety or your cat’s health? Call (858) 459-1516. 🐾🌱
