Four paws, one tail.
Five reasons people call.
Pick the one that sounds like your pet. Each one lists what it usually is, how we treat it and how many visits it normally takes. A starting point, not a diagnosis.
Trouble breathing, a seizure that will not stop, a hard swollen belly or heavy bleeding cannot wait for an appointment. After hours, go straight to the nearest 24-hour animal emergency hospital.
Check-in, the first five minutes
Forty minutes,
six steps, $72.
New patient visits are $72 and take about forty minutes: a full nose-to-tail exam, vaccines if they are due and a written plan with prices.
0:00
Check-in
You fill in the forms from our text link before you come, so check-in takes two minutes. Dogs on a leash, cats in a carrier.
0:05
History
Diet, energy, habits, old illnesses, past vaccines and the one thing your pet hates about vet visits.
The exam, ten minutes in
0:10
Nose-to-tail exam
Eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, belly, skin, joints and weight, on the floor or in your lap if that keeps your pet calm.
0:25
Findings
What is going on, in plain words. If a lump or a test can wait a month, we say so instead of running everything today.
Vaccines, thirty minutes in
0:30
Vaccines & tests
Only the vaccines that are due for your pet’s life, plus a heartworm or fecal test if needed. Treats all the way through.
0:35
Your plan
A written plan with what is urgent, what can wait, what each item costs and what pet insurance usually covers. No pressure to decide today.
Median plan for a healthy adult dog, 2025
2
core shots,
not nine.
That is what most healthy adult dogs here need in a year: rabies and DHPP, plus only the extras their life calls for, like Bordetella for boarding. We tell you which ones are optional.

Questions.
Anything else, ask Wynona at the front desk. She checks your pet insurance before you come in.
Do you see emergencies?
During open hours, yes: call on the way and come straight in. Overnight and on Sundays, go to the nearest 24-hour animal emergency hospital, and we pick up the follow-up care the next morning.
