Questions
How often should my pet have an 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.

Dental cleanings are performed under anesthesia for thorough plaque removal. Pre-anesthetic blood tests ensure safety, followed by tartar removal and oral health assessment.

Emergencies include trauma, seizures, breathing difficulties, uncontrolled bleeding, and poisoning. Contact us immediately for urgent care referrals after hours.
