🔍 What’s Really in a Surgery Estimate? 🐾

Not all surgical estimates are created equal — and cheaper isn't always safer.

💡 Our latest blog highlights the BIG difference between “budget” clinics that may cut corners on anesthesia, pain control, or monitoring — and the full-value, high-standard surgical care your pet deserves.

Here’s what should be included in a complete, transparent estimate:
✅ Pre-anesthetic exam & bloodwork
✅ IV fluids & tailored anesthesia protocol
✅ Full surgical monitoring (ECG, BP, oxygen, temp)
✅ Sterile instruments and trained surgical support
✅ Comprehensive pain management before, during & after
✅ Detailed discharge instructions + recovery support

We believe in doing it right—because your pet’s safety isn’t optional.

🛡️ Should You Get Pet Insurance? 🐾

Vet bills can sneak up on you — from accidents to chronic illnesses — but pet insurance offers a safety net for your furry family member. Our latest blog breaks down the key facts:

✅ Covers accidents, illnesses, sometimes routine care
✅ Plans let you pick deductibles, reimbursement %, payout limits
✅ Better to start young — pre-existing conditions often excluded
✅ You'll pay up front, then submit for reimbursement
⚠️ Know what’s covered—and what isn’t (e.g., dental, alternative therapies)

Not sure if insurance is right for you? We also offer wellness plans, lab packages, and payment options like CareCredit to help keep costs manageable.

🌿🚨 High Alert: W**d & Pets Don’t Mix! 🐾

Your pet doesn’t care if it’s recreational or medicinal—THC is toxic to them, and even a small amount can cause big problems. 😵‍💫

We’re seeing more cases of ma*****na toxicity than ever, and it’s not always because someone shared it. Edibles, vapes, dropped gummies… pets are sneaky!

⚠️ Signs of ma*****na toxicity in pets:
🌀 Wobbly walking
🌀 Dilated pupils
🌀 Dribbling urine
🌀 Lethargy or agitation
🌀 Tremors or even seizures

👉 If you think your pet got into ma*****na, don’t wait—call your vet or poison control ASAP. We don’t judge. We treat.
