Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during my pet’s first visit?

Your pet’s first appointment includes a full physical exam and a conversation about their medical history, lifestyle, and any concerns you’ve noticed. From there, we’ll outline recommended care and next steps based on your pet’s needs.

What types of pets do you see?

We primarily care for dogs and cats. Limited services may be available for small mammals such as rabbits and other pocket pets. If you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll guide you.

How should I bring my pet to the appointment?

Dogs should be on a secure leash, and cats should arrive in a carrier for their safety. Please bring any previous medical records, a list of medications, and any questions you’d like to discuss.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept cash, debit cards, and major credit cards. CareCredit is also available for those who prefer a flexible payment option.
