|
| Behavior
Counseling |
 While our doctors are not
Board certified in behavior problems, we can offer
recommendations if your pet has behavioral problems such
as aggression, separation anxiety or inappropriate
elimination (defecation and urination) to name a few.
|
| Flea
Prevention & Heartworm Prevention Products
|
We
currently sell Interceptor®, Sentinel®, Advantage,
Advantix, Revolution® and Heartgard® Plus. Sentinel®
and Revolution® are combination products that are effective
in preventing both fleas and heartworms.
 There are
specific pluses and minuses to each product. Please call
us for details.
Do you ever forget to give your pet his
monthly heartworm preventatives? We have medication reminders that will email you when it is
time for your pet's monthly heartworm prevention. You set
it up yourself inside your very own FREE Pet
Portal (see the Email Alerts section).
We strongly recommend that all dogs, cats
and ferrets be placed on heartworm prevention products
year-round.

Requirements
for Boarding, Hospitalized and Surgical Patients
|
 All
pets admitted to the hospital must be current on all
required vaccinations:
Dogs:
Distemper, Parvo, Corona, Bordetella (Kennel Cough) and
Rabies
Cats:
FVRCP (Distemper, Upper Respiratory) and Rabies
These vaccines must have been administered
by a veterinarian and we require written or telephoned
proof of vaccination.
In addition, all admitted pets must have
had a negative fecal exam result within the past year.
This is for the safety of all of our patients. If a pet
needs these procedures, they will be performed and charged
accordingly.
All pets will also be examined for the
presence of fleas and ticks upon admission to the
hospital. Pets carrying either of these parasites will be
treated accordingly (administration of a commercial
flea/tick product, bathed or dipped) at regular charge to
the owner.
|
| Our
Fees |
We make
every effort to ensure that all fees are fair and
reasonable and you are encouraged to discuss charges before
services are rendered.
Our fees are based upon time spent, medication,
diagnostics and procedures necessary to ensure the best
medical treatment for your pet.
Payment
in full is required at the time services are rendered.
Due to the financial requirements of running a
business, we do not allow any type of payment plans.
If you require special arrangements, please talk to
the Office Manager prior to treatment.
|
| Leashes |
 For
the safety of our patients, we request that all pets be
leashed, securely held, or transported in a carrier while
on hospital premises.
We respectfully request that reptiles be secured in
a carrier also.
|
| Walk-ins |
Although
we care for pets primarily by appointment only, walk-ins
are accommodated and will be seen as time allows.
Like people, animals do not synchronize their
illnesses with an appointment book and surgical procedures
can sometimes take longer than planned; so, an occasional
appointment delay can occur.
 Please
realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client
on time and a phone call is appreciated by all if an
appointment needs to be rescheduled.
We
do offer a convenient early morning drop-off service for
those people who cannot free up enough time for an
appointment. Also,
this service sometimes is a preferable alternative to the
wait (and additional work-in fee if we are fully booked)
often accompanied by walking in without an
appointment.

Continuing
Education
|
Veterinary medicine is a
continually changing field as product improvements and
technological advances are made.
Our doctors feel that it is important to be kept
abreast of these latest developments.
We attend numerous hours of continuing education
each year, usually surpassing the number of continuing
education hours required by law.
Check out our frequently asked question “One
of our doctors is a member of the Texas Academy of
Veterinary Practice, what is this organization?”
