• 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.

  We are proud to offer CareCredit as a financing option. 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, on the other hand, may arise and have an impact on your final bill.

  We will always discuss our written estimate with all clients before they leave our facility, and we will always require a deposit based on our estimate before proceeding with any further treatment.

• Should I call ahead to book an appointment?

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

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