The cost of the initial exam is $45, but additional diagnostic tests and treatment will likely be necessary. It is hard to predict what the pet will need until we examine them.
We do not have the staff to provide 24-hour supervision for pets, so we do not hospitalize animals. Should that level of care be necessary, we recommend a 24-hour emergency clinic.
An appointment is reccomended, but we do accept walk-ins:
- Tuesday-Friday from 8-11 a.m. and 1-2 p.m.
- Saturday from 8-9 a.m. for current clients only.

On Saturdays, only accept current clients. We also do not provide care to critically sick patients or perform x-rays or euthanasia.
To maintain a safe and supportive environment for all clients, partners and staff members, our facility is monitored and all interactions are expected to remain respectful. Disrespectful or abusive comments or yelling will not be tolerated. Individuals who engage in inappropriate behavior may be asked to leave, and future services may be refused or discontinued.
Thank you for helping us create a positive environment where we can focus on providing quality veterinary care to our clients.
