Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets, with senior pets needing bi-annual check-ups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year.
Why are dental cleanings important for pets?
Dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which affects 85-92% of pets over age 3. They help avoid systemic infections and maintain overall health.
What constitutes a pet emergency?
Emergencies include difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, trauma, and poisoning. Contact us immediately for urgent medical conditions.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at six months of age. Consult with our veterinarians about the best timing based on your pet's breed and health status.
How does heartworm prevention work?
Monthly preventatives protect against heartworms transmitted by mosquitoes. Annual testing ensures effectiveness and early detection of potential infections.
Are surgical procedures safe for my pet?
We implement strict safety protocols including pre-anesthetic blood work, continuous monitoring, and comprehensive pain management to ensure patient safety during surgeries.
