Dogs and cats, wellness to surgery

Services and prices

Exam prices are fixed. For dental work and surgery you get a written estimate with a low and a high number, and the bill lands inside it.

What a dental includes

Most dogs and cats need their first cleaning by age three. Every one is done under anesthesia, because most disease sits below the gumline.

  • Blood test beforehand to check anesthesia is safe
  • IV fluids and a technician watching vitals throughout
  • Full-mouth dental X-rays
  • Scaling above and below the gumline, then polishing
  • A phone call before any extraction

Questions

Something else? Call the front desk.

Do you see rabbits, birds or reptiles?

No, only dogs and cats. Call us and we’ll give you the name of a vet nearby who treats them.

What if my pet gets sick at night?

Go to the 24-hour emergency hospital listed on our Emergencies page. They send us the notes, and we call you the next morning to plan follow-up care.

Can you see a sick pet today?

Usually, yes. We keep times open every day for pets that are unwell. Call before 3 p.m. on weekdays, or before 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Will I know the cost before treatment?

Yes. Exam prices are on this site. For anything beyond the exam you get a written estimate first, and nothing starts until you agree.

How do I pay?

Payment is due at the end of the visit, by card or cash. For surgery and dental work we take a deposit of half the low estimate at drop-off.

Do you take pet insurance?

Pet insurance pays you back rather than us. We give you an itemized invoice and fill out the claim form the same day.

Can I stay with my pet?

Yes, for exams, vaccines and most tests. For X-rays, dental work and surgery your pet comes back with us, and we call you as soon as we’re done.

How do I move my pet’s records here?

Tell us your old vet’s name when you book and we’ll request them. They usually arrive within two days.
