🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • Book well ahead for routine exams, vaccinations, and elective surgeries, as some reviewers reported multi‑week to month‑long waits for non‑urgent slots.
  • For urgent issues, call ahead—the clinic often squeezes in same‑day appointments even when busy.
  • Confirm after‑hours options in advance; reviewers noted no emergency service calls on weekends or after 9 p.m., so identify the nearest 24/7 ER.
  • Request a written estimate and ask about potential add‑on fees before procedures to avoid billing surprises.
  • If you live out of town, ask about mobile clinic days or arranging supply pick‑ups; for travel paperwork, contact the clinic early to meet timelines.
