Hospitalization

    We require that vaccines be up to date for all hospitalized pets. This protects both your pet and the other animals in our hospital.
    Visitation to hospitalized pets is allowed in most cases. Please be aware that there may be instances where this would be discouraged. Your veterinarian will discuss this with you.
    All pets are discharged during normal business hours and after care instructions will
be given.

Medications

    The wrong medicine at the wrong time can be fatal. Many of the home remedies found on the internet can be confusing and misleading. Please feel free to call if you have questions about medication. We don’t want a mistake to harm your pet. Use only the medicine prescribed and in the manner directed by the veterinarian.

First Visit

    Your pet may be uneasy when visiting the hospital. We suggest animals be on a leash or in a carrier. Your pet and others will appreciate the extra care.

Pet Food and Supplies

    For your convenience, and your pet’s health our hospital offers a selection of quality prescription pet food and supplies.
    We will be glad to consult with you regarding diet, flea control and heart worm preventive. Education is a hallmark of our practice and consultations with the doctor as well as educational pamphlets will be provided.

General Health

    Having your pet vaccinated against contagious diseases may be one of the most important things you ever do for your pet. Vaccination protocols should be tailored to the needs and risks of the individual pet. Parasite control and vaccinations should begin shortly after weaning. It is important to start a relationship with a veterinarian as soon as you get a pet. Preventive care and regular check ups are encouraged.
    We invite you to become our partner in providing the finest health care for your companion.
