Geriatrics
Age-related conditions can often be minimized by early detection. Therefore, for older pets we recommend not only an annual physical examination, but also blood tests, urinalysis and possibly x-rays and/or an electrocardiogram.
Client Referrals
Our practice continues to grow because people like you tell other pet owners about us. We would like to thank you for your confidence. When you refer someone to our practice you will receive a $20.00 credit on your account and the new client will have a $20.00 discount on their first visit to us.
Out-Patient Care
Whenever possible, pets are treated on an out-patient basis. It is our belief that most pets will recover more rapidly in their normal environment.
Case Referrals
In some cases, referral to a specialist will be recommended. We are fortunate to have specialists available locally in internal medicine, veterinary surgery, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, behavior, cancer treatment, and advanced imaging (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI).
In addition, we can utilize the specialists located at surrounding veterinary colleges such as the Tufts Veterinary School in North Grafton, Mass.
Boarding
We offer boarding for your pet. Boarding pets are housed separately from hospitalized patients. Because of limited space, advance reservations are necessary.
Cats must be currently vaccinated for distemper and rabies and dogs must be currently vaccinated for distemper, rabies, canine influenza and bordatella (kennel cough). If your pet was vaccinated elsewhere, we need documentation of these vaccines.
Drop-Off Services
If you are unable to make an appointment during our regular office hours, you may drop your pet off in the morning for treatment and pick him up later in the day. A drop-off appointment should be made in advance and a pick-up time determined.
Fees
Payment is expected when services are rendered. As a convenience to our clients we accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Care Credit (a credit card that is applied for through this office but can only be used for health care needs.)
We also gladly accept payment through the barter networks of BNI and ITEX.
