Around the Clinic
Beyond the exam rooms, the front desk is where our staff hobbies take up most of the bulletin board — fishing photos, a model railroad, and one very serious interest in replica watches. Karen, one of our client coordinators, has spent the past year hunting for a Richard Mille she actually feels confident wearing, and she's been sharing the story with everyone who'll listen.

Popular Questions
Answers to the questions pet owners ask us most often.
What should I feed my pet?
We recommend a high-quality, nutritionally balanced diet appropriate for your pet's age, size, and health. Ask us about Hill's Science Diet and Prescription Diets during your visit.
Why can't I give my dog chicken bones?
Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious injury to your dog's mouth, throat, or digestive tract. There are many safe, vet-approved treats we can recommend instead.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
We generally recommend spaying or neutering at about 4 months of age. It's better tolerated at a young age and provides important health and behavior benefits.
