Questions
How often should my pet have an exam and blood work?
We recommend annual exams for pets under 7 and biannual exams for seniors. Bloodwork should be done yearly to monitor health trends.
At what age should I have my pet spayed or neutered?
Spay/neuter age depends on breed and health. Dr. Cox evaluates each pet individually before recommending surgery timing.

Heartworms are dangerous parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. We recommend monthly preventatives year-round in Alabama's climate.
Do you offer weekend appointments?
We have limited Saturday hours but no Sunday appointments. Emergency care is available through partner clinics.

Yes, we have an on-site pharmacy for convenient medication and product purchases for your pet's needs.
