Questions
How often should my pet have an exam?
We recommend annual exams for most pets, with senior pets needing bi-annual checkups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year.
Why does my pet need dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease that can lead to systemic health issues. Regular cleanings help avoid painful oral conditions and expensive treatments.
What constitutes a pet emergency?
Emergencies include difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, trauma, or sudden behavioral changes. Contact us immediately for urgent medical concerns.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at six months old, but timing depends on breed and health status. Contact us to discuss your pet's specific needs.
How can I prevent heartworms?
We offer year-round heartworm prevention. Dogs should be tested annually, while prevention is critical for cats as no treatment exists.
What happens during a dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings require anesthesia for thorough examination and treatment. We perform scaling, polishing, and dental charting while monitoring your pet's vital signs.
