🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a detailed written estimate and approvals before tests or treatments to avoid billing surprises.

- For urgent issues, call ahead—reviews note the team has accommodated walk‑ins and emergencies.
- If booking grooming or boarding, discuss your pet’s sensitivities and after‑care to set expectations.
- If you want memorial items (like a paw print), request them early and confirm timelines for pickup.
