It's not always the big dogs fault. It's actually almost never the big dogs fault. It's usually the owners. Bad pet parenting.

Good morning! We wanted to keep you updated on some changes here at the clinic.

We will no longer be doing deposits over the phone. When you call and make an appointment you will have several different options to pay online.

Appointment Deposits - Credit / Debit
We can send the deposit request through text or e-mail. Paying the appointment deposit through TEXT avoids the 3% credit card fee.

Surgery Deposits - Credit / Debit
We can send the surgery deposit through e-mail.

Care Credit Deposits -
We can send the care credit deposit requests through e-mail or text. Does not require the app, but it's helpful.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to find ways to keep your personal and financial information safe.

We will no longer be doing deposits over the phone. When you call and make an appointment you will receive a text message taking you to a link to securely pay online.

This system does not work when using care credit. You will have to make a payment straight through the care credit app.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to find ways to keep your cards and information safe.

We often hear that flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is just a clinics way of trying to make more money off of the client. Or that the pet only goes outside to go to the bathroom and doesn't need to be on prevention.

Heartworm disease is contracted from mosquitoes, which can come inside of your home. All it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito.

We have diagnosed two dogs already this year with heartworm disease. If left untreated it is fatal.

The average cost of 12 months of heartworm prevention is 136 dollars. The cost to treat heartworm positive dog is roughly 1,000 dollars.

Please believe me when I say, we are not making thousands of dollars off of preventative medications. We truly are trying to keep your fur baby protected. For as little as 12 dollars a month it is well worth it to keep your baby safe.

Daily tooth brushing is one of the best ways to prevent dental disease, and it’s typically easier if your furry friend gets used to it when they’re little. This is especially important if they’re a breed that stays small.
