Questions
What emergency services are available after hours?
Call Animal Poison Control at 888-426-4435 for poisoning emergencies. For other urgent cases, contact North Alabama Veterinary ER at 256-850-0077 or Huntsville Veterinary Specialists at 256-715-8389.

Alabama law requires rabies vaccination for cats and dogs. We recommend FVRCP for cats and DHPP, leptospirosis, and bordetella for dogs, following AAHA and AAFP guidelines.

Year-round prevention is crucial due to Alabama's climate. Annual testing ensures your pet remains heartworm-free before continuing medication, even with consistent monthly dosing.
What boarding options exist for puppies?
Puppy boarding (6-16 weeks) includes a separate, quiet area with individualized walks 3-4 times daily to prevent exposure to older dogs and contagious diseases.

Yes, we provide comprehensive dentistry, including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Regular dental checkups prevent systemic health issues linked to oral bacteria.
