The amount of different types of pet illnesses and diseases is as big of a range as found in human medicine. It is extremely important to have your pet properly diagnosed so that they may receive the correct treatment. Receiving the wrong treatment or not diagnosing an illness soon enough can lead to further health complications and possibly death. Please don’t ever hesitate to call our office to speak with our professionals to see if your pet should come in for an exam with one of our doctors. Our schedule usually allows us to see your pet within a day of you calling to set up an appointment. To better accommodate our clients schedule we offer day time and late appointments, drop-off in the morning appointments, and Saturday appointments. Please remember that we cannot diagnose your pet’s illness over the phone. The only way to know for sure how to give your pet the best treatment is to have one of our veterinarians diagnose the issue.
