Good care for every pet, from the very first visit.
Dogs, cats and small pets. Unhurried exams, clear estimates and a team that explains everything in plain words.
What brings you in today?
Wellness & vaccines
A 30-minute exam with time for your questions. Vaccines are given at the same visit, and we’ll remind you when the next ones are due.
What to bring
- Previous vaccine records, if you’re new
- A fresh stool sample (we’ll test it while you wait)
Sick or injured
We keep same-day slots open every weekday for pets who are unwell. Call before 11am for the best chance of a morning visit.
What to bring
- When it started and what you’ve noticed
- Any medicines or new foods in the last week
New puppy or kitten
An unhurried first visit: a full exam, a vaccine and deworming plan, and advice on food, training and when to spay or neuter.
What to bring
- Adoption or breeder paperwork
- Their current food, so we can talk about it
Dental care
Start with a dental check. If a cleaning is needed, we give you a written estimate and do it under anesthesia on a weekday morning.
What to bring
- Nothing special for the check
- For the cleaning: no food after 10pm the night before
Is it an emergency?
Tick anything that’s happening now. If you’re unsure, call us. It’s always fine to ask.
None of these? It can probably wait for a same-day sick visit.
