We recommend annual wellness exams for most pets, while senior pets and those with ongoing health conditions may benefit from biannual visits. Regular check-ups help detect health issues early and keep your pet on track for a long, healthy life.
Core vaccinations, such as rabies and distemper, are essential for both dogs and cats. The frequency of boosters depends on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our veterinarians will tailor a vaccination schedule to your pet’s needs.
We offer emergency services during regular business hours, depending on our availability and resources. Each case is evaluated individually, so please call ahead to confirm if we can accommodate your pet’s needs.
Yes, we take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety during anesthesia. We perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess overall health and monitor vital signs throughout the procedure to minimize risks.
Your pet will need a quiet, comfortable space to rest. Limit activity, follow all post-operative care instructions, and administer medications as prescribed. If you notice swelling, redness, or signs of pain, contact us for guidance.
We typically recommend spaying or neutering dogs and cats around 6 months of age, but the ideal timing may vary based on breed and health factors. Our team can help determine the best time for your pet’s procedure.
Once microchipped, your pet’s unique ID number must be registered with your contact information through the chip manufacturer’s database. While there’s no single nationwide registry in the U.S., animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and good samaritans can scan your pet’s chip and contact the manufacturer to help reunite you if your pet is ever lost.
Regular dental cleanings and at-home care, such as brushing your pet’s teeth or providing dental chews, help prevent plaque buildup and gum disease. Bad breath, difficulty eating, or drooling can be signs of dental issues—schedule a check-up if you notice these symptoms.
We recommend year-round parasite prevention to keep your pet safe from fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Even indoor pets can be at risk, so talk to our team about the best preventive options for your pet’s lifestyle.
