Dr. Stacey Pedersen and her team believe that prevention contributes to your pet’s long term health and minimizes the lifetime cost of care. We strongly recommend wellness exams, vaccinations, regular lab work, deworming and fecal checks, as well as medications to prevent heartworm, fleas and ticks to keep your pet in optimum health. In addition, our staff is committed to your pet’s emotional as well as physical wellness. We are Cat Friendly Certified and use Fear Free techniques to recognize and reduce stress and fear so that your pet is comfortable during their visit.
Despite the very best preventive care, your beloved pet may develop an illness or be injured. Our internal medicine and surgical expertise, as well as our advanced diagnostic capabilities and veterinary laboratory, ensure your pet receives a quick and accurate diagnosis. We work with local specialists when referrals are needed and take the time to explain our diagnosis to you and provide you with various options for your pet’s treatment.
