Services We Provide:

Alternative Therapy

Our clinic offers alternative medicine including: Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM), Veterinary Myofacial Release, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Class IV Laser Therapy.

  • VOM - The healing technology that locates areas of the animal's nervous system that has fallen out of communication, and reestablishes neurinal communication and thus induces healing.
  • Veterinary Myofacial Release - The release that is achieved with this technique is therapeutic on many levels: the primary reduction of subluxations, the return of muscles to normal tonus and function, enhanced healing and recovery, the strengthening and rehabilitation of atrophied muscles, the reestablishment of range of motion and posture, and the improved strength and performance.
  • Acupuncture - The stimulation of specific points on the body which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to achieve a healing effect.
  • Chinese Herbs - They can be antimicrobial, anti-cancer, or boost the immune system. Some can help strengthen the body and relax the mind. Also, herbs can be integrated into conventional medical treatments with the help of an enlightened veterinarian.
  • Class IV Laser Therapy - Benefits of this therapy include: accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, faster wound healing, reduced fibrous tissue formation, anti-inflammation, anti-pain, improved vascular activity, increased metabolic activity, improved nerve function, immunoregulation, and stimulation of trigger points and acupuncture points.

Appointments/Recordkeeping

Our reception staff is here during our business hours (Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5:30 PM) to assist you in making appointments, checking you and your pet in and out of the clinic, and answering your questions. If you have questions regarding an appointment, prices, boarding requirements, vaccine histories, payments or billing, please contact our reception staff at (928) 474-9605.

Your pet's records are kept in our computer system which is specifically designed for veterinary hospitals. Our staff can find your pet's records with the touch of a button which alleviates searching for handwritten records. You can be assured that we have a battery back up for our computers as well as daily back up tapes that copy all of our patient's medical records.

Boarding Facility

Our large indoor/outdoor runs offer dogs the option to enjoy the sun or be inside in the cool indoors. Our separate cat facility provides ample quiet and room for the elite feline guest. Your pet is closely monitored during its stay so that any unusual behavior or medical problem can be brought to the attention of one of our veterinarians. Click here to view our boarding policy.

Dental ServicesDental services

It would be ideal if our pets would sit still to have their teeth brushed or pulled when it was necessary. Unfortunately, that is not the case with most animals. Our dental equipment is located in our surgical area giving us the opportunity to anesthetize your animal while receiving thorough dental scaling and polishing and any necessary extractions. We recommend yearly cleaning to promote oral health and internal organ wellness.

Emergency Services

In order to provide the utmost care, we will still offer emergency care during regular business hours. In the event that your animal needs emergency care after hours, on weekends, or on holidays; you can rest assured knowing that a veterinarian is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Clients can call our regular office line and be transferred to Animal Referral & Emergency Center of Arizona, a 50 minute drive south on Hwy 87, just south of McKellips Rd, on the West side of the road. The veterinarians and staff there will assist you with your emergencies and give you instructions on having your animal treated.

Exotic Services and Rehabilitation

Our clinic provides veterinary care to many exotic animals including rabbits, reptiles and many birds. We are often brought wounded animals from the Game and Fish Department to rehabilitate and return to their environment.

Isolation Area

Our clinic has a separate isolation area to protect your animal from potentially contagious and dangerous diseases. This room has four cages, a separate heater and sink, as well as its own medical supplies.
