Where family pets find loving care
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding with our team! Like most veterinary hospitals, we are booking farther out than normal while also trying to maintain the quality of care that our staff, clients & pets deserve. We know this is not ideal and want to address the questions and concerns surrounding the busyness of the veterinary industry.
- The pet-to-vet ratio was (and continues to be) significantly unbalanced, which hinders the ability to source, recruit and hire newly graduated veterinarians.
- The demand for veterinary services increased significantly due to the explosion of pet adoptions (+200%) in the past few years. Sadly, only about 1,500 veterinarians are graduating each year in the United States. This leaves us incredibly short-handed as an industry across the nation.
- Our team has implemented many new features to improve the client experience.

Dental CareDespite what many pet owners may believe, “dog breath” is not just a nuisance – it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease.
Parasite Prevention and ControlThere was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance. Now, however, we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets.

Dr. Paulette has consistently offered exceptional care for my aging chihuahua. Her caring attention, especially in times of crisis have been a great comfort to me.

I had no such visit as said here on this day. However this has been our regular family vet every since Dr. Paulette was kind enough to clear her schedule one day to do emergency services that saved the life of our beloved feline (Haushka) who had a hernia that had burst open and his inside hanging out. She fixed him up good and even neutered him while she was at it. Can't thank Dr.Paulette enough. She's wonderful and she truelly has love for all pets no matter how exotic or creepy they may be. Great place to take any pet. Paulette won us over with a true act of kindness and we take our pets no where else. Highly recommended by the McGraw family. Thankyou Dr. Paulette. You Rock!Thomas McGraw
