Boarding Services: Dogs that are boarding with us get 3 long walks and 2 short walks as well as play time that is all inclusive in our boarding prices. Cats are boarded separately from dogs. They get all the loving and care from our staff. All pets should be up to date on their vaccines boarding. Dogs: DHLPP, Bordetella and Rabies. Cats: FVRCP and Rabies.

Puppy Day Care - What do you do with that new puppy when you go to work? Now you can relax. The Animal Medical Center offers day care. Your puppy will be learning basic skills and house training. Even in a crate a young puppy just can't make it 8 hours without an accident. Your puppy will also learn to play with other dogs and meet new people. Your puppy will be less likely to be afraid when you clip its nails or check its teeth. Best of all you will have a happier more well adjusted new friend.

Pet pick up and house calls (local area): Sometimes it may be just too difficult to bring your pet to us. We will come to you! We can pick up your pet or the Doctor will visit your home.

Appointments are always encouraged, but we will certainly fit you in if you are unable to schedule in advance and provide Emergency service during our normal business hours .
