  • Microchip implants:  We use the new 134.2 kHz (ISO) microchips. All of our microchips come with a prepaid registration. They are quickly growing in popularity in the United States and used by many large veterinary groups and an increasing number of municipalities across the country. ISO microchips comply with ISO standard 11784 and are the standard in many countries across Europe, Canada and Japan. ISO microchips are required if you will be traveling outside of the United States with your pet. Please see the following information presented by the AVMA that does an excellent job of answering your questions regarding microchipping.

  • Digital Radiography: We currently have the best state-of-the-art system in the Bakersfield area. We use a Samsung 17"x17" Csi panel. We consistently receive reports back from the Board Certified Radiologists that view our images stating that our images are "EXCELLENT" The Samsung 17"x17" is the largest panel in the world with Csi sensitivity. The 14 bit Csi image provides not only a higher contrast resolution than average; it also offers the best spatial resolution of any large panel on the market. This system combines the benefits of a wider view with the sensitivity needed to capture fine detail and soft tissue densities.  
    • Active Image Size:  17" x 17" (42.7 cm x 42.7 cm)
