Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets. Senior pets should visit every 6 months. Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits during their first year of life.
Why does my pet need dental cleaning?
Professional dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which affects 85% of cats and 92% of dogs over 3. Regular cleanings reduce health risks and prevent painful oral conditions.
What happens during a dental procedure?
Dental cleanings require general anesthesia for thorough examination. We perform pre-anesthetic blood tests, remove plaque/tartar, and assess overall mouth health including teeth and gum condition.
Do you offer emergency veterinary services?
We provide emergency care during regular business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting a 24-hour specialty hospital for immediate treatment.
What are heartworms and how can I prevent them?
Heartworms are deadly parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Prevention is critical through monthly medication. We offer safe, effective prevention products for both dogs and cats.
What boarding requirements do you have?
Boarding pets must have current vaccinations including rabies, distemper, and bordetella. We require negative fecal tests and recommend flea/tick prevention before boarding.
