Emergency services: Emergency services, urgent care, and hospitalization are not available at this time.
Cancellation policy: A cancellation fee will be assessed if notice of cancellation is not received at least 48 hours, on business days, before the appointment time. This fee will be equal to the consultation fee. Demand for services far exceeds our ability to provide those services.

If they are over 20 pages there will be a $35.00 fee payable at the time of request. Subsequent requests for medical records will have a fee of $40.00 for less than 20 pages.

Preventive Care
Preventive health care goes beyond regular vaccinations. It includes annual wellness examinations, the use of high quality foods daily, continuous management of health issues, and daily activity. While these are general recommendations for preventive health care, it is also important to recognize that some companions have special needs that require ongoing care to prevent or reduce the negative impacts of existing health conditions. For example, dogs with osteoarthritis benefit from a weight management program along with an exercise plan, nutritional supplements, and manual therapies and acupuncture.

Surgery Services
Anesthesia and surgery services include neuters, lump removals, and wound repairs. All patients receive a physical examination before surgery and depending on age and health condition, a complete blood count and chemistry profile may be advised. The anesthesia protocol is based on the patient's health status. Careful monitoring during anesthesia is always performed. Post-operative pain management is also an important consideration. Depending on the complexity of the required procedure, referral may be made to a surgical facility.

Dental Services
Regular dental care is important for optimal health. This includes annual examinations and dental cleaning under anesthesia when necessary. In addition to discomfort in the mouth, periodontal disease has been linked to other serious health problems like kidney and heart disease. Complex dental issues that require additional diagnostic workup and treatment will be referred to a dental specialist.

Integrative Services
In addition to standard medicine, surgery, and dentistry, use of therapies such as acupuncture, manual therapies, nutritional supplements, Western and Chinese herbs, homeopathy, laser, and clinical medicine are encouraged when appropriate.
