• The vaccines which your pet may need will be discussed with the doctor at the time of your visit.  Routine testing and monitoring is also tailored on an individual basis.  Your pet's care will be the product of a joint decision between you and our veterinarians.

• "Low-cost vaccinations"  Our vaccination fees are very affordable.  For clients who are in a financial pinch, we offer "no-exam vaccines" so you only pay for the vaccines that you request.  There is no examination fee and you will not see the veterinarian.  (Keep in mind that we cannot dispense prescription medication for animals who have not been examined in the last twelve months.)

• New puppies and kittens:  We prefer to see new puppies and kittens as soon as possible!  Proper vaccine boosters and parasite control are very important, especially during the first four months.  Please call to schedule an examination for your new family member as soon as you can, and bring any written records you may have.  The veterinarian will review these and advise what your puppy or kitten is due for.  New patient examinations are $48.00, but does not include any boosters or additional treatment.
