Frequently asked questions
- What services are included in the clinic's wellness and prevention program?
- The clinic provides comprehensive wellness and prevention services, which include vaccinations and parasite control. Veterinarians work with owners to determine the best vaccination schedules and parasite prevention plans tailored to the lifestyle of puppies, kittens, and adult pets. They specifically recommend year-round heartworm prevention to protect pets from mosquito-borne disease.
- Does the clinic offer boarding for pets with medical needs?
- Yes, the clinic provides boarding for both dogs and cats, including those that require additional care due to existing medical conditions. Pets are housed in spacious indoor runs or large suites. Reservations are required for all boarding stays, and owners may also schedule additional services such as grooming or baths during their pet's visit.
- What payment options are accepted for veterinary services?
- The clinic accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. They also accept ScratchPay and CareCredit for payment. All services must be paid for at the time they are rendered, as the clinic does not offer payment plans. While they accept all pet insurance plans, these are processed as reimbursements to the client.
- What should I do if my pet requires surgery?
- All surgeries require a scheduled appointment. Following a procedure, the clinic recommends that pets rest for the remainder of the day and may require cage rest for additional days depending on the surgery type. Owners are advised to monitor the surgical site to ensure the pet does not lick or chew at bandages or sutures, which could lead to infection or the need for a repeat procedure.
