We are please to add endoscopy to the list of our services. Our endoscope permits us to visualize the digestive system and to take biopsies when necessary. It also permits us to go in and visualize very small orifices like nostrils and will allow us to perform Tran cervical inseminations.

Pearl's story / L'histoire de Pearl

Pearl is the sweetest 3 month old Boston Terrier puppy who suddenly jumped from her owner's arms and started to limp immediately. We were very concerned that this could be a fracture so we took x-rays. Luckily, there were no fractured bones so she just needed rest and pain medication. Pearls owners had previously signed up for a free 6 week trial of pet insurance from Pet Secure, so 80% of her medical bill was covered. This free trial is available to all pets between the age of 8 wks to 4 yrs of age that we examine for the first time and with no obligation to continue.
