General services
We work with you to provide the best possible petcare and individual treatment plan for your BFF.
Coat and skin care treatment
Coat and skin are an important indicator of your pet’s health. We’ll assess abnormalities, provide diagnostic plans, and suggest treatments to help their condition.
Comprehensive exams
Part of our preventive care practice, our comprehensive exams cover your pet’s major body systems. Regular exams help to monitor your pet’s physical condition as part of your pet’s overall well-being.
Gastrointestinal illness diagnosis and treatment
If your four-legged-friend has an upset stomach or vomiting issue, we can help determine appropriate remedies or diagnose an underlying condition.
Nutrition advice
Healthy and nutritious meals for the win! Get advice about a quality, balanced diet for your dog or cat’s life stage, lifestyle, and condition.
Orthopedic evaluation and treatment
Our teams perform full body assessments of your pet’s musculoskeletal and neurological systems, as well as radiographs and other specific diagnostic tests, to determine any structural issues in the bones, joints, ligaments, or tendons.
Parasite control
Screening and treatment plans for internal and external parasites, infestations, and secondary diseases, plus multiple options for parasite prevention and medications.
Vaccinations
We offer all routinely recommended vaccinations for dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies, including rabies, feline leukemia, and parvovirus, and more based on your pet’s location and lifestyle.
Diagnostics and imaging
We use a variety of methods to help us diagnose and treat pet illnesses, and to help figure out the cause of any underlying injury.
Dental digital x-ray
Our digital x-ray machines help us see below the surface of your pet’s gum line and evaluate each tooth so we can see tooth root concerns, perform extractions, and send images to specialists if appropriate.
Digital radiography
Our modern digital radiography enables us to examine your BFF’s body systems like their cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems.
In-house laboratory diagnostics
We have an in-house lab for same-day results, so we can help determine or rule out specific conditions affecting your pet.
Surgery services
Banfield offers standard surgery services and more for pets, including spay and neuter procedures.
General dentistry
Our veterinary teams provide professional dental cleanings to support oral health. Ask about gingival flap surgery, extractions, and other dental techniques.
General surgery
In addition to routine spays and neuters, ask about dermatological, soft tissue, and orthopedic surgeries
Spaying and neutering
Spaying and neutering can help control the population of unwanted shelter animals and minimize some behavioral issues.
