Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend annual wellness exams for adult pets and bi-annual exams for senior pets (generally over 7 years for dogs and over 10 years for cats). Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits during their first year.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
The ideal time varies by species, breed, and size. Generally, we recommend spaying or neutering between 5-8 months of age. During your puppy or kitten's initial visits, we'll discuss the best timing for your specific pet.
How can I prepare my pet for a veterinary visit?
Keep your pet calm by bringing them in a secure carrier or on a leash. For anxious pets, consider a short drive before the appointment to help them relax. Bringing their favorite treats and toys can also help create a positive experience.
Do you offer payment plans?
We accept major credit cards, cash, and pet insurance. We also offer CareCredit, which provides flexible payment options for veterinary expenses. Please call our office for more details about payment options.
