Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets, with senior pets needing bi-annual checkups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year.
What happens during a pet dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings involve general anesthesia for thorough examination and treatment. We perform scaling, polishing, and dental X-rays to address oral health issues.
Do you offer emergency veterinary services?
Yes, we provide emergency care during regular business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting a 24-hour specialty hospital.
What are the benefits of pet microchipping?
Microchipping provides permanent identification that significantly increases chances of reuniting lost pets with owners, even when collars become lost or damaged.
When should I consider spaying or neutering my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at six months old, though timing may vary based on breed and health considerations. Early sterilization prevents unwanted litters and health issues.
How can I prevent heartworm disease in my pet?
Monthly heartworm prevention is essential year-round. We offer safe, effective products and annual testing to protect dogs and cats from this serious condition.
