Lifetime Pet Wellness Center's goal is to always find solutions to the problems our patients face.
Sometimes the answer isn't conventional, but that doesn't stop Dr. Jim Carlson and his staff. Lifetime Pet Wellness Center offers the usual services of any pet care facility, including boarding and grooming, but our staff also offers services such as homeopathic medicine, spinal manipulative therapy, acupuncture, and holistic medicine. doing.
For many people, pets are just as much a part of the family as humans, and our staff will do whatever they can to provide care.
“We do all the usual things like conventional medicine, dentistry, surgery, but we also do acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, and herbs,” Dr. Carlson said. “What's exciting is when you see a pet that others have seen and been told has no hope and you can come up with an idea to help them. That's our motto – others Find something when people say it can't be done. It's very rewarding.”
Dr. Carlson has been a veterinarian since 1993, and he and his wife, Laurie, have owned the company since 1998. Although he has three veterinarians on staff, Dr. Carlson would like to add his fourth to a staff that includes 27 employees.
Dr. Carlson said he has always been an animal lover and the best part of his job is working with local families to make sure their pets are as healthy as possible.
“It's a great time,” Dr. Carlson said. “We have a lot of new and exciting people as well as great animals. We have great customers and patients.”
One of the clinic's doctors, Dr. Antonia Tribuzzo, also runs an animal shelter, For the Love of Jane. The foster-centered nonprofit animal shelter prioritizes high-quality nutrition, integrative veterinary care, and community support to promote animal welfare and eliminate animal suffering.
At the end of the day, at Lifetime Pet Wellness Center, it's important to us to help animals in any way we can.
“That's why I love what we do,” Dr. Carlson said. “We can always find something that improves the quality of life for our patients.”
