Answers for pet families
Booking, visits, payment, insurance and after-hours care: the questions we hear most, answered plainly.
We are a general practice clinic for dogs and cats: wellness exams, vaccines, dental care, spay and neuter and other soft tissue surgery, in-house lab work and X-ray, and same-day sick visits during open hours.
Call us, use the request form on our contact page or tap Book appointment anywhere on the site. Our team confirms every request by phone or email within one business day.
Payment options are available for larger procedures, and our wellness plans spread routine care into monthly amounts.
Our after-hours phone line directs you to the nearest emergency hospital, and we follow up with your pet the next day we are open.
We work with most pet insurance plans. We provide itemized invoices and records so you can claim quickly.
