At DRVC, We Recommend:
Examination
- Annually for prevention of diseases
- Annually
- Dogs should receive professional dental care by age 2 to 3 years
- Dental care can include oral examination, deep cleaning, dental radiography, polishing and extraction
- Regular cleaning can help reduce internal diseases
Grooming
- The ASPCA recommends bathing your dog at least once every three months, but some may require more frequent baths if he or she spends a lot of time outdoors or has skin problems.
- Regular grooming with a brush or comb will help keep your pet's hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free.
- As a rule of thumb, a dog’s nails should be trimmed when they just about touch the ground when he or she walks.

In addition to your typical domestic pets, DRVC treats many exotic animals and their unique healthcare needs.
Birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, nonvenomous snakes and ferrets are all welcome at DRVC to receive the best in exotic veterinary services and care from our specially-trained exotics veterinarians and technicians. Our array of exotic veterinary services have grown with the increasing popularity of exotic pets. Your reptiles, birds, small mammals, or fish may be a bit more unique and unusual than the cats and dogs your neighbors own, but that doesn’t mean you must sacrifice receiving the highest standard of veterinary care!
We have performed surgery on chickens, radiographs on macaws, dentals on rabbits, castrations on oppossums, and more. We treat sugar gliders, chameleons, hamsters, rats, serval cats, tortoises, and more. So let us know if your pocket pets or reptile have a need!
Small Animals Boarding & Hospitalization
We offer boarding / hospitalization for dogs and cats and exotics. For dogs, we provide air-conditioned runs and enclosures and walking in a fenced-in exercise yard.
For felines, we have air-conditioned, indoor enclosures. They are provided with a comfy blanket and litter pan that is cleaned regularly.
At your request, we do offer extra play time and attention for your pet outside of their enclosure.
For exotics, we recommend that you provide their own home so they can have all their normal creature comforts
