Preventive Care & Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams are the best way to catch small issues before they become big ones. We recommend a nose-to-tail checkup at least once a year for healthy adult pets, and twice a year for seniors.
A typical wellness visit includes a full physical exam, weight and body condition check, dental screening, and a conversation about nutrition, vaccines, and parasite prevention tailored to your pet's lifestyle.
New Puppy & Kitten Care
Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is exciting, and we're here to help you start off on the right paw. Early visits focus on core vaccinations, deworming, and a full health check.
We'll also talk through spay/neuter timing, microchipping, nutrition, and everything else new pet parents want to know.
Pet Surgery
There are times when our patients require surgery. Spays and neuters are performed on a regular basis.
We have a veterinary surgeon on staff who performs more complex operations as well as a team of specialists available for critical or unusual circumstances.
Before any surgical procedure is performed, we will review an estimate of expected costs with you so there are no surprises.
Rest assured that your pet will receive the best possible care here! Even our house cats watch over some of our patients! (We were so surprised to find Winnie the cat watching over Andrew's dog Roxy as she recovered from a dental procedure!)
Advanced Pet Dental Care
More than 70% of dogs and cats develop dental disease by age three. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, and problems well beyond the mouth.
We offer full dental cleanings, digital dental X-rays, and extractions when needed, all performed under safe, monitored anesthesia.
Digital X-Ray Services
Our in-house digital X-ray equipment lets us see what's going on beneath the surface quickly, with lower radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays.
Digital images can be enhanced, shared with specialists instantly, and are often ready to review the same visit.
Laboratory & Diagnostic Services
Our in-house laboratory means many bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screening results are available the same day, so we can start treatment sooner.
For more specialized testing, we partner with outside reference labs and follow up personally once results are in.
Stem Cell Therapy
Dr. Edwards is excited to offer Medivet Regenerative Therapies to her patients. She has performed stem cell therapy on nearly 100 patients since 2012 with excellent results. She has given numerous presentations on the benefits of stem cell therapy throughout the Phoenix area.
What is Medivet Regenerative Therapy?
- It's the body healing itself, with a little help from Dr. Edwards and her staff.
- It's an all natural process that awakens and mobilizes the body's repair (stem) cells.
- Arthritis and joint problems are addressed through actual repair, not just symptom management.
- The benefits last a long time, and can be extended by cryogenically preserving some of the harvested cells.
Here's what one pet owner said:
"I did research on stem cell therapy and found that MediVet was the best company, so I asked them for the recommended veterinarians in my area. I interviewed a few and selected Dr. Edwards. Murphy, our Irish Wolfhound, is an important member of our family. Not only did Murphy do well with the stem cell therapy, he loved going to the clinic! We could not have been more pleased with Dr. Edwards. She is intelligent, dedicated, and truly loves animals. She had done extensive research in stem cell therapy and believes in the benefits. Even though the office is about an hour from our home, it is worth the drive. Without her, Murphy would have had to be put down due to his injuries and inability to walk." – Vicki B.

Honeybee Veterinary Services
Since 2017, federal law has classified honeybees as livestock, meaning hive health falls under veterinary oversight. We work with backyard and commercial beekeepers in the Phoenix area on hive health and required veterinary feed directives.

Hospice Care for Animals
The true definition of Hospice involves the natural death process — but there are animal hospice providers that understand euthanasia is frequently the best choice.
