We are back up and running!

⚠️Our system is currently down, which is affecting our Shepherd Pet Portal, online appointment scheduling, and our ability to take appointment requests over the phone.

We are working to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible. During this time, we have very limited ability to schedule appointments, access patient information, accept payments, and complete normal office functions.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work through this issue. We will provide an update when our systems are back up.

Thank you for choosing Mackenzie’s Veterinary Services. We appreciate your patience as we continue to provide excellent veterinary medicine through compassionate and comprehensive care.

A Quick Reminder for a Safe Visit

For the safety of your pet, our team, and other clients and pets in the clinic, all pets must arrive on a leash or safely secured in a carrier.

Even friendly pets can become nervous or anxious in a new environment. Keeping pets safely contained helps create a calm and safe experience for everyone.

Thank you for helping us provide compassionate and comprehensive care to every patient who walks through our doors.

Your pet may look healthy, but many health concerns can develop without obvious signs. Routine wellness visits help us detect potential problems early and keep your pet healthy throughout every stage of life.

During a wellness exam, we perform a complete physical exam, review vaccinations, evaluate dental health, monitor weight and nutrition, recommend appropriate screening based on your pet’s age and lifestyle, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

Whether you have a playful puppy, curious kitten, or beloved senior companion, preventive care is an important part of lifelong health.

Schedule your pet’s wellness exam through our online booking system. Mackenzie’s Veterinary Services is here to provide excellent veterinary medicine through compassionate and comprehensive care.

One Chew. One Month. Comprehensive Protection.

Parasite prevention is an essential part of keeping your dog healthy. Credelio Quattro is a once monthly chew that provides broad protection against some of the most common parasites your dog may encounter.

With one monthly dose, Credelio Quattro helps:
• Prevent heartworm disease
• Kill adult fleas
• Kill common species of ticks, including those that can transmit Lyme disease
• Treat and control roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and New World screwworm

Many parasites can cause serious health problems before your dog shows any signs of illness. Year round prevention is one of the best ways to protect your pet and support their long term health.

If you have questions about parasite prevention or would like to discuss the best option for your dog, our team is here to help. Contact Mackenzie's Veterinary Services to learn more or schedule your pet's next wellness visit.
