Services
 

Because our pets age at a much faster rate than us, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination and annual blood work and parasite checks.  For patients 8 years of age and older we recommend twice annual physical exams.  Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.  
      
Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  

Laser Surgery:  We are proud to be one of a few veterinary clinics in the Portland area that offers laser surgery for most surgical procedures.  Laser surgery offers many advantages including less pain, less bleeding, and less tissue trauma.
