CLINIC TOUR
Tours of our Hospital and Pet Resort are available
Monday thru Friday from 9:00am until 5:30pm.
Our Client Relations Specialists are available to arrange this for you by appointment,
or anytime you visit with your pet during these hours.
Stop by and enjoy our hospitality of freshly brewed coffee and cookies (for you AND your pet)
as you learn more about the services and facilities we offer.
In the meantime, this virtual tour will get you started:
Lobby & Media Center
As
you enter our clinic, you will be greeted by warm southwestern
tile, color, warmth and decor, and the friendly smile of one of
our three Client Relations Specialists. Small animal care and special
interest videos are always on view in the lobby, and current
newsletters, pet magazines, books and Pet Pages are available for
reading. This open area is perfect for socializing and meeting new
human and furry friends on your way in or out, and a hallway equiped
with wagon wheel benches offers privacy if you prefer. You will also
be entertained by our kittens for adoption, our house cats Django and Ella, and our mascot dog, Maya.
Big Dog Exam Room
We have 5 exam rooms available for wellness and healthcare visits. The first is our "Big
Dog" room equiped with a special lift table. Your pet can walk onto
the table at floor level and once comfortably situated, is pneumatically
lifted to a height where examination is easier and non-threatening.
Exam Rooms 2, 3, and 4
Although decorated a little differently with pictures and furniture,
these rooms are interchangeable for cats, dogs, kittens and
puppies. Each room is equipped with comfortable seating, treats and
windows. An x-ray viewer and computer in each room allows you to
see radiographs of your pet and discuss treatment options with the
doctor.
Comfort Room
This room used by doctors and nurses for admitting patients to our
hospital or boarding, and for discharging patients after surgery, x-ray
and dental procedures. We use this room also for extended
consultations, special circumstances, and as a peaceful place to say
last goodbyes.
Pharmacy
We have a well stocked in-hospital pharmacy for your convenience.
Most antibiotics, analgesics, behavioral medicines, heartworm
preventions and nutritional supplements prescribed by our doctors are
available here following exam or treatment.
Laboratory
Our in-house state of the art laboratory gives us the capability of
running labwork immediately and getting results quickly. Some common
tests that we do in-clinic are bloodwork, stool analysis, heartworm
tests, urinalysis, some growth and lump cytology, skin infection
analysis, and ear cultures. Some of our routine labwork is outsourced
to Antech Diagnositics and we generally have results by the next day.
Animal Care & Pet Resort
We
have 9 large runs for boarding stays and for surgical patients. Our
Pet Resort boarding is veterinary supervised and follows strict
standards to insure the health and safety of your pets while visiting.
Bedding is changed daily or more often if necessary; extra padding is
offered to older pets or those with special needs. The breakfast and
dinner menu consists of Royal Canin
Digestive Low Fat for dogs which helps them avoid nervous,
away-from-home stomachs, and Feline Young Adult for cats. Soothing
spa music can be heard throughout the Resort and the its calm, relaxing
effects make your pets stay even more pleasurable Optional services
like Playtime,Pedicures, Brushouts, Photos of your pet and Vacation
Phone Calls are also available.
Suites B & C
Most small dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed away from the
larger dogs. For this reason we have two suites available in our Pet
Resort just for them. Services are the same as descibed above.
Cat & Kitten Suite
Our
cat room has a ceiling to floor glass window that allows cats more
activity and stimulation throughout the day. Their bedding, litter and
water is changed at least daily, and they are also fed according to the
pet parent's specifications. Services are described in Pet Resort
above.
Treatment Room
Our
treatment area is where necessary treatments such as blood draws, ear
flushes and wound care are performed. When we ask to take your pet to
the back or to admit your pet to the hospital, this is where your pet
will come. This area also serves as our surgical recovery area. It is
open and easily visable so pets can be monitored throughout the day
while recovering. We also use this area to treat critical care patients
and emergencies that need easy access to fluid therapy or critical care
nursing.
Dental Station
We
have 2 "wet" tables for dental cleaning, polishing and oral surgery.
This is also where we perform digital dental x-rays to determine the
extent of care your pets mouth needs, just like you receive when you
visit your dentist. Sometimes we find a bad tooth that wasn't visable
to the eye; sometimes we find we don't have to remove that tooth that we
thought we did!
Surgical Suite
Our surgical suite has advanced monitoring equipment to check heart,
pulse, oxygen levels, temperature and blood pressure during surgery. We
perform spays, neuters, growth removals, foreign object removals and
exploratory surgeries regularly. Our Certified Veterinary Technician
and experienced staff are specially trained to monitor anesthesia and
vital signs.
Imaging Room
We have a radiology department that includes a full body x-ray table for
the largest or smallest pet. Our automatic processor can develop
an x-ray in just a few minutes for rapid results.
Isolation Room
Through our wellness programs, we work with you to keep your pet as
healthy as possible. When we are presented with what may be a
contagious illness for treatment, we use our isolation room to segregate
the patient from the general population and contamination of healthy
pets. Everything in this room is used only in this room and
decontaminated when the pet leaves. A camera monitors sick patients in
this room and is viewed by nurses in the general treatment area.
Conference Room
Every Monday from 12noon to 2pm, our clinic is closed. At this time, we
are meeting in the conference room for information, development and
training seminars that keep us up-to-date with the most current advances
in veterinary medicine.
If you have questions about your pets health care or our clinic,
please stop by or give us a call.
We'd love to be of service!
