Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend annual exams for most pets, with senior pets needing bi-annual check-ups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year for vaccination series and growth monitoring.
Why does my pet need dental cleanings?
Professional dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease that can lead to heart, liver, and kidney issues. Regular cleanings reduce anesthesia risks and costly treatments while improving your pet's overall health and comfort.
What happens during a pet dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings occur under general anesthesia for safety and thoroughness. We perform full oral exams, tartar removal, dental X-rays as needed, and apply protective treatments while continuously monitoring vital signs.
What constitutes a pet medical emergency?
Emergencies include trauma, breathing difficulties, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, or inability to urinate. Contact us immediately if your pet experiences severe vomiting, diarrhea, or suspected toxin ingestion.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency veterinary care?
Our regular hours are 8 AM to 6 PM Monday-Friday. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend Animal Emergency Center or BluePearl Pet Hospital while remaining available for consultation via phone.
