• What types of payment options are available?

  Payment in full is expected at the time services are rendered or when your pet is discharged. We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as forms of payment.

• Are there payment plans available for my pet’s care?

  We are proud to offer CareCredit and Scratchpay as financing options. They offer an easy application process that will give you results in minutes.

• Will I be provided with an estimate of costs?

  Prior to treating your pet, we will provide a reasonable estimate of the cost of our services. Unforeseen circumstances, however, may impact your final bill.

  Before any client leaves our facility, we will always discuss our written estimate with them and will require a deposit based on our estimate prior to any further treatment.

• Should I call ahead to book an appointment?

  Yes, please call ahead to make an appointment to ensure that we have time to see your pet in our schedule.

  In the event that your pet needs emergency care during our regular business hours, please contact us right away.

• What is your appointment cancellation policy?

  If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can offer the available time in our schedule to other clients.

• What types of animals do you treat?

  We care for small domestic pets like cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets like birds, rabbits, reptiles, and rodents.

• Where can I purchase my pet's prescription and food?

  You can purchase all the medications and specialty food your pet needs either via our online store or our in-house pharmacy.

• What are the fees associated with an emergency visit?

  All emergency examinations require a deposit payment. After the staff and doctors have examined your pet, you will be given a treatment estimate to help you decide on a treatment plan.

  If your pet requires additional hospitalization, diagnostics, or surgery, a deposit is required up front, with full payment due when your pet is discharged.

• Can you help with my pet insurance?

  We’re happy to help you fill out pet insurance forms for your pet’s visit.

  If you don't have pet insurance, we recommend investigating your coverage options with Trupanion. Ask us for more information about this insurance option at your next appointment.
