Services


Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped, and our staff is trained, to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.

Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  You are welcome to watch your pet's surgical procedure through our suite's viewing window.  We are proud of the way we care for your pets.

Anesthesia:  We tailor the use of anesthesia for each patient's needs.  We commonly induce anesthesia with Propofol and only use Sevoflurane inhaled anesthetic - the same gas commonly used in human pediatric settings.  Our surgical patients routinely have i.v. catheters placed for needed fluid and medication administration during anesthesia. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Imaging Services:  Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment and Digital Dental X-Ray units provide high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.  Our in house ultrasound unit coupled with telemedicine and on-site consultations with ultrasound experts allows ready access to information from this diagnostic tool.

Electrocardiography Services:  We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.

Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

Pharmacy:  We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet.

Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, dental X-rays, tooth extractions and oral surgery.  In some cases we may be able to clean your pet's teeth without anesthesia.  Ask about this exciting service.

Individualized Flea Control Programs:  We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas in your house, in your yard and on your pet.

Dietary Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.

Behavioral Counseling:  We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.

Boarding:  We provide pet boarding as a service to our clients. All boarders receive personal attention from our caring staff.  Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Saturday.

Bathing:  Routine and therapeutic bathing services are available.

Emergency Care:  Should your pet require emergency care during our business hours, please call us at (949) 495-2224 then proceed to the hospital.  After hours, you will find the nearest 24 hour facility to our practice at the corner of Crown Valley and Golden Lantern.  We recommend the Animal Urgent Care of Mission Viejo for your after hours emergencies.  They are located in Mission Viejo near the corner of Crown Valley and Marguerite Parkway in across from Home Depot next to the Animal Shelter.  Their address is 28085 Hillcrest, Mission Viejo and their phone number is (949) 364-6228.
