Helping return four-legged athletes to their peak performance.

You may have noticed that our logo is a modified depiction of the constellation Canis Major. But even though our name and logo feature Sirius, the “Dog Star,” rest assured that we care for cats and other four-legged athletes as well. We treat each and every patient with the same mix of advanced skill and compassionate care that we would want for our own pets.
