Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on disease prevention through annual exams, vaccinations, and nutritional counseling. We evaluate each pet's unique risks to create customized care plans that integrate holistic approaches with traditional medicine. Services include titer testing, supplement recommendations, and exercise programs to maintain optimal health.
Advanced Diagnostics
We utilize digital radiography, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing for accurate diagnosis of complex conditions. Our equipment enables rapid assessment of internal injuries, organ function, and dental health. This technology supports timely treatment decisions and monitoring of chronic diseases like diabetes and kidney failure.
Holistic Services
Our integrative approach combines acupuncture, chiropractic care, and herbal medicine with conventional treatments. These therapies address chronic pain, mobility issues, and systemic imbalances while minimizing medication dependence. Certified practitioners develop tailored treatment plans to enhance pets' quality of life naturally.

This place made me wait when I had an appointment. Then they took my dog away from me not asking any questions gave the dog a shot not asking me where it was going to be put and it was the worst front desk experience & I will never go there again. Which is too bad because I liked the doctor the first time I met her but I didn't have a doctors appointment & I had a crucial question to ask but, I went down the street to another Vet & got my question answered with compassion.
They didn't have change for my money and going to the gas station I met a person who turned me onto their vet and I went there and it was easy breezy and I left knowing that my dogs going to be OK! Wow I'm a canine massage therapist & this place will never get any recommendations from me! Who does that a company that lacks integrity! Thanks for the experience!

This office used to be amazing. Dr. Tyneway, and Dr. Lang, are no longer there now. The new vet has zero of the compassion, connectedness, and instinct that they had. Dr. Watrovsky (spelling?) imagines that she knows more than the pet parents, and other vets. She should not be practicing, and especially not at a clinic that was so extraordinary prior to her arrival. Do not subject your pets to this awful excuse of a vet.

All things being equal, this Veterinary center is the best! that I've experienced. Not the cheapest but you'll pay for what you get, which is well educated and caring doctors and assistants. For your pets chronic issues and acupuncture & cold laser treatments, I highly recommend that you see Dr. (Kelly) "W".

I loved meeting Dr. Watrobski and the staff was amazing! Dr. Watrobski was very empathetic and caring towards my dog. I found out that my dog is diagnosed with hermangiosarcoma and doesn't have that long left. Dr. Watrobski took the time to answer every question I had and trust me I had a lot! She was very patient, gave me great advice, and helped me pick out supplements and medicine for my dog! After leaving today, I feel so much more confident in fighting my dogs cancer.

I am a canine massage therapist and have referred many dogs and their people to Dr. McKinnon whom I like very much. Unfortunately with covid, the dogs are given underwater treadmill sessions without the owners present. One of my clients dog went in to Holistic Animal Clinic walking and came out not able to walk, was diagnosed by another vet with spinal damage. Chelsea was very rude and cold when she was contacted about this matter. She had no concern about the elderly dog who now cannot walk. I dont trust this place anymore.
