Book a visit

Two doors, one quiet building.

We split the building in 2021. Cats use the side door and never share a room, a hallway, or the air with dogs.

Walk through the rooms.

The cat lobby: carrier cubbies at hip height, three chairs, and the side door with the lantern outside.

The side door and cat lobby

Cats come in the side door. It is quieter there. The lobby has three chairs and ten carrier cubbies at hip height, so a carrier never sits on the floor where a cat feels exposed.

The cat ward: eight wooden recovery cubbies with hiding boxes, two cats resting, and an open carrier on the exam bench.

The cat ward

The cat ward is an exam room and eight recovery cubbies behind one door. It has its own air return, so it does not smell like dogs, and the lights dim to a level most cats tolerate.

Dog rooms 1 and 2

Most dog exams happen on the floor. The mats do not slip, the scale is flush with the floor, and the table lowers to the ground when we need it, so nobody is lifted while scared.

The quiet room: a linen sofa, one lamp, a dog bed, and its own door open to the parking lot.

The quiet room

The quiet room has one lamp, a couch, and no exam table. It has its own door to the parking lot, so you can arrive and leave without crossing the lobby.

The imaging room, with a padded table and the screen where x-rays come up.
Shared · one species at a time

Imaging

X-rays are digital and come up on the screen within a minute. Most are done awake. You can look at the images with the vet before you leave.

The dental suite: a padded table under a lavender towel, the dental light, and a tidy counter.

The dental suite

Every cleaning includes full-mouth dental x-rays, because most dental disease is below the gumline. Rosa monitors anesthesia from start to finish and does nothing else while she does.

Treatment and recovery: four wooden runs with soft bedding and the lights down.
Shared · one species at a time

Treatment and recovery

Dogs wake up from anesthesia here, on foam beds with the lights down. Cats recover in the cat ward instead, so they never wake up next to a dog.

How we keep it quiet.

  1. No overhead paging. Staff use earpieces.
  2. Every light dims, from 2700K to 5000K.
  3. Rubber floors in every dog space. Nobody slips.
  4. Cats never pass through dog spaces, and the cat ward has its own air return.
  5. Visits are not stacked. If we run late, we text you.
  6. Treats only with your permission. We ask about allergies first.

A happy visit is ten minutes of treats and a walk through the room your pet will use. It is free.
