Digital Radiology:
AWCM offers state of the art digital radiography. This advanced digital technology allows the veterinarian to have diagnostic radiographs within seconds. These x-rays are superior to traditional film because they offer greater image quality. The radiographs can easily be emailed to specialists and also can copied on disc for the owner.
Boarding:
Canine boarding is available on a limited basis. This allows the staff to provide extra time for outside play and exercise at no additional charge. The pets are housed separately with plenty of blankets and treats. At the end of the dog's stay, the owner recieves a written "diary" of what the pet did daily while lodging. The "extra" attention given to the dogs is great for special needs boarders such as geriatrics or dogs with a medical condition that needs to be monitored or treated.
No cat likes to be away from home so AWCM tries to make the boarding experience as stress free as possible. The cat is provided with a 3 room "condo" with shelving to lie on. This allows the cat to have a separate sleeping, eating and litter box area. Crocheted blankets, food, treats, toys and cat nip are provided. At the end of the cat's stay, the owner will recieve a "diary" describing the cats daily activities.

A certified veterinary acupuncturist is available on a monthy basis. Homeopathic therapies and nutritional advice is also available.
