Diagnostic and Therapeutic Clinical Services: We have complete in-patient and out-patient facilities to diagnose your pet's problems and provide the appropriate treatment to assure your pet's recovery, as rapidly and completely as possible.
Anesthesia: We have the safest available anesthetics and anesthetic protocols which provide that extra margin of safety in our patients. To insure safety and improve recovery from anesthesia, all anesthetized animals have pre operative blood work checked and IV catheters placed for fluids during the procedure. Patients have their vital parameters monitored constantly with monitors (EKG, pulse oxymetry, capnography, temperature, blood pressure) as well as veterinary nurses assessing similar clinical parameters until the pet is awake and safe.
Surgery: Our hospital includes dedicated surgical facilities and equipment for the performance of a wide range of surgical procedures. We pride ourselves on our detail and safety oriented approach to anesthesia and intra-operative surgical support.
Ultrasound: Our hospital is equipped with a state of the art ultrasound. Dr. Zumpano has routinely utilized ultrasound in general and emergency practice for more than 5 years and has completed over 50 hours of continuing education in ultrasound alone.
Endoscopy: Not all problems can be solved with medicine alone. Sometimes foreign bodies or other conditions of the intestines require that we gain access to the gut. Traditionally this was done with an exploratory abdominal surgery. In many cases we can address these problems non invasively with the use of an endoscope.
Laboratory: Our complete in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis, and parasite testing. We have equipped our in house laboratory with all of the resources necessary to assess a patients health within an hour if needed. In addition to our in-house laboratory, we have a full service reference laboratory that picks up specimens daily. Virtually any test possible can be performed on a daily basis.
Dentistry: We believe dental care of valuable benefit to the comfort and well being of our patients. As such, we provide complete dental services including teeth cleaning with an ultrasonic scaler, polishing, tooth extractions, and minor oral surgery. We are completely equipped with high speed dental hand pieces and digital dental x-rays to make the best decisions and provide the best care for your pet’s oral health. In an effort to keep our pets healthy at an affordable price, we have bundled complete dental services into a single low cost package based on the severity of problems in the mouth—please ask a staff member for updated pricing information.
Radiology: We have a completely intergrated digital x-ray system that produces high quality diagnostic radiographs in much shorter time. This means less stress for your pet and better answers for you and the doctors.
Cancer Chemotherapy: We have experience in treating many cancers with surgery and/or chemotherapy including lymphosarcoma and mast cell tumors. We strongly believe in quality of life when discussing treatment options with pet owners.
Dietary Counseling: Proper nutrition is vital to the health of your animal companion at every age level. Let us discuss your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, performance, and as an aid in the treatment of some diseases.
Emergency Care: We provide emergency services for dogs and cats during normal business hours. Our doctors and support staff are highly trained in emergency medicine.

We also provide drop-off services for those with busy schedules.
