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.
Why is dental cleaning important for pets?
Dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which affects 85% of cats and 92% of dogs over age 3. Untreated dental issues can lead to serious health complications.
Do you offer emergency services after hours?
Our emergency services currently operate limited hours (8am-5pm) at the Kempsville location. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting one of our partner veterinary hospitals.
What boarding options are available?
We provide indoor climate-controlled kennels with multiple daily exercise periods. Cat boarders stay in a dedicated cat condo area separate from dogs for their comfort and safety.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying or neutering at 6 months of age, though this depends on your pet's breed and health status. Discuss specific timing with our veterinary team.
