Dogwood Veterinary Hospital and Laser Center provides veterinary services for a variety of conditions, illnesses, and injuries found in our pet patients. We have trained and dedicated veterinarians and nurses on staff. We have onsite diagnostic equipment to perform blood work, x-rays, ultrasound, and an in-house pharmacy allowing timely results and treatment of our patients. Cases that require 24-hour critical nursing care or more advanced diagnostics and treatments will be first stabilized and then referred to the specialty hospitals if necessary.

If your pet is experiencing an urgent medical issue after hours, please visit the list of nearby emergency hospitals.
