A yearly (or twice-yearly) check-up catches problems early, when they are easier and kinder to treat.

Flea, tick, worm and heartworm protection for your area.

Questions

Before your visit

Do you accept new patients?

Yes! We welcome new dogs, cats, rabbits, small pets, birds and reptiles. Bring any previous records if you have them — or we can request them for you.

What happens at a first visit?

A relaxed 30-minute consult: weight, nose-to-tail exam, vaccine and parasite review, plus plenty of time for questions. Treats included.

Do you take pet insurance?

We work with all major insurers and can claim directly on your behalf for most policies.

My pet gets anxious. Can you help?

We are Fear Free certified: quiet rooms, non-slip mats, pheromone diffusers and the option of calming medication before visits.
