“9 month old domestic shorthair cat. I took her to the vet and got her tested for everything and all came back negative. I got her rabies done as well. She is extremely friendly and has shown no signs of aggression and absolutely loves to cuddle. I was at the gas station and she hopped in my car while I was at the pump lol! Looking for her forever home!”

🐾 Sometimes the best vet visit is the one that prevents a problem before it starts.

Regular exams give us a chance to catch little things before they turn into bigger problems. We can check teeth, weight, ears, skin, heart, and overall health while making sure vaccines and parasite prevention are up to date.

Your pet may not love coming to see us, but future you will be glad you did. 😉
