FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I bring my pet for a check-up?

We recommend annual wellness exams for most pets. However, puppies, kittens, senior pets, or pets with chronic conditions may require more frequent visits. Regular check-ups help ensure your pet stays healthy and catches potential issues early.

What vaccinations does my pet need?

The necessary vaccinations depend on your pet's species, age, lifestyle, and health. Common vaccines include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for dogs and FVRCP and rabies for cats. During your visit, we’ll create a personalized vaccination schedule for your pet.

Why does my pet need a dental cleaning?

Dental cleanings prevent gum disease, tooth loss, and other health issues caused by bacteria in the mouth. Signs of dental problems include bad breath, drooling, or difficulty eating. We recommend annual dental check-ups for most pets.

What should I do if my pet has fleas or ticks?

First, consult us for a safe and effective flea and tick treatment. Preventative products, such as collars, topical treatments, or oral medications, are the best defense. It's also important to treat your home and yard to prevent re-infestation.
