Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams for most pets, with senior animals needing bi-annual checkups. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year.
What happens during a pet dental cleaning?
Complete oral examination under anesthesia with dental prophylaxis to remove plaque/tartar. Includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous monitoring during procedures.
Do you handle aggressive pets?
Yes, we use safety precautions like muzzles when necessary. For severe cases, we may recommend pre-surgical sedation to ensure safe treatment.
What constitutes a veterinary emergency?
Life-threatening conditions like severe bleeding, breathing difficulties, trauma, or poisoning require immediate attention. Contact us right away for these urgent situations.
Can I bring my pet's medical records from another clinic?
We prefer having complete medical history. Vaccination records are essential, especially for rabies, which is required by law for pets over four months old.
How does preventive care benefit my pet?
Regular checkups detect hidden health issues early through physical exams and diagnostic testing. Preventive measures like vaccinations and parasite control protect against serious diseases.
