Why Cedar Grove Pet Owners Trust Our Team

Dental Care That Goes Below the Gumline

Most dental disease hides under the gums. Our professional cleanings are done under anesthesia, so we can clean and evaluate every tooth properly, not just polish what is visible.

Relief for Itchy Pets

Scratching, ear infections, and hot spots are frustrating for pets and owners alike. We look for the underlying cause and build an allergy treatment plan that can be adjusted as the seasons and symptoms change.

Time for Every Question

With 30 minutes or more per appointment, you will not feel rushed. Dr. Waxman explains findings in plain language and makes sure you know what to watch for at home in Cedar Grove.

Locally Owned, Not Corporate

Our practice is owned and run by the veterinarian who treats your pet. That means care decisions are made in the exam room with you, not set by a corporate policy.
