I am grateful for the care we received at Homeward Bound's Urgent Care Facility. The team there are very caring and understand about your situation. We brought our Tortie cat, Peanut, in because she was not eating and vomiting profusely. They diagnosed her with Cat Kidney Disease (CKD), which is incurable. The condition can be managed with meds and special care. Peanut got to live another five months. Thank you and God bless you all.

My puppy had a uti and I needed to be seen on a Saturday. Originally the vet had no openings, and I was waiting in the urgent care queue. But after a cancellation, the vet called me personally and offered to squeeze us into the schedule. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I got the medication my puppy needed. Wonderful experience and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Dr. Kats and Lilly were wonderful with our skittish kitty. She didn’t even run away from them after getting her shots. Now that’s saying something! 😉

We found Homeward Bound when we had to unfortunately put our first dog down. The staff was absolutely incredible. They were all caring and compassionate towards us and our pup. They made an incredibly difficult time a little more comfortable. After their great customer care with that situation, we decided that we would go with them when we found out next dog. Fast forward, and I took our puppy there. The staff was once again amazing. From check in, through the entire exam. The tech and the vet were very easy to communicate with and made sure all questions and concerns were answered.

If your pet needs emergency or after-hours care, our Urgent Care veterinary hospital is available during that location’s business hours.

Most healthy adult pets should be seen once a year, while puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with chronic medical conditions usually need more frequent visits. Routine wellness exams are important to detect disease early, often before your pet shows any signs of illness.

Dental disease affects the majority of adult dogs and cats due to lack of proper oral care. We perform comprehensive dental cleanings under anesthesia with full oral examinations and dental radiographs when needed. We are also able to remove any infected teeth. 

Getting routine dental cleanings at Homeward Bound Veterinary Services can help prevent painful dental disease, lessen bad breath, improve overall health, and protect your pet’s heart, kidneys, and liver from infection due to dental disease bacteria.

Yes, Homeward Bound Veterinary Service performs spays, neuters, mass removals, and many soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries. We also offer laparoscopic surgery for certain procedures, such as spays, gastropexies, cryptorchid neuters, and select biopsies.

A laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed through tiny incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. These surgical procedures require much smaller incisions, which means less pain, lower risk of complications, and a faster recovery time for your pet.

Our advanced CT scanner can be used to diagnose pet health problems that traditional X-rays may miss. Veterinary CT imaging is often used for:

  • Orthopedic Injuries
  • Nasal Disease
  • Ear Disease
  • Dental Disease
  • Cancer Evaluation
  • Neurologic Conditions
  • Surgical Planning
