Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend annual exams for most pets, with senior pets needing bi-annual check-ups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year for vaccinations and growth monitoring.
Why does my pet need dental cleanings?
Dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease that releases harmful bacteria into the bloodstream. Regular cleanings reduce risks of heart, liver, and kidney disease while preventing painful oral conditions.
What happens during a dental cleaning procedure?
Dental cleanings require general anesthesia for thorough examination and treatment. The process includes tartar removal, gum assessment, dental x-rays if needed, and polishing to protect tooth enamel.
What boarding requirements should I know?
Boarding guests must have current vaccinations including rabies, distemper, and bordetella for dogs, and rabies and feline distemper for cats. We recommend scheduling in advance for holidays.
Do you offer emergency veterinary care?
Yes, we provide emergency care during regular business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting one of Houston's 24-hour emergency clinics listed on our website.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can book appointments online through our pet portal, by phone at (713) 526-1502, or by visiting our clinic at 1314 Woodhead St, Houston, TX 77019 during business hours.
