Open 7:30am–6:30pm, six days a week, so the routine visit doesn’t have to cost you a morning off work. $29 wellness exam with vaccines — same price for new and existing clients.
Every package includes the doctor’s exam and a free one-month dose of heartworm preventative — which also treats intestinal parasites.
Includes a free one-month dose of heartworm preventative
The free monthly dose covers heartworm and treats intestinal parasites — roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms — and prevents flea populations developing.
Puppies and kittens are wormed at the visit. They commonly carry roundworms and hookworms from birth, and the monthly preventative starts from that visit rather than before it.

Anything your pet needs beyond the package is priced separately, and we review it with you before anything happens.
Core vaccines are recommended for essentially every pet. Others depend on your pet’s lifestyle — a dog that boards or visits dog parks needs more protection than one that doesn’t.
A vaccine appointment is really a check-up with vaccines in it. The doctor examines your pet nose to tail, and that exam is where most problems get caught early — a heart murmur, a lump, dental disease, weight creeping up.
You come in with your pet. You’re in the room for the exam, you talk to the doctor face to face, and you ask the question you actually came to ask. Nothing about a vaccine visit happens in a parking lot.
Every vaccine appointment includes a free one-month dose of heartworm preventative — which also treats intestinal parasites. Dogs, cats, puppies and kittens.
Prices and what each package includes are further up the page.
These are not needed by every dog. Whether we recommend them depends on where your pet goes and what they are exposed to.
The doctor will tell you which of these your pet actually needs, and why.
The $29 covers the doctor’s exam at a wellness visit. Vaccines and any testing are priced separately, and we review the cost with you before anything happens.

Vaccinations usually start at about eight weeks old and repeat every three to four weeks until your pet is around sixteen weeks. Every one of those visits includes the exam, so while your puppy or kitten is being protected the doctor is also watching how they’re growing — teeth, heart, weight, anything worth catching while they are young. Book the first visit whenever you are ready and we’ll set out the rest of the series with you, so you know what is coming and when.
The doctor examines your pet first. Vaccines are given based on what’s appropriate for that animal on that day, and the exam is where things get caught early — which is most of the value of the visit.
No, and it’s common. Bring them in and the doctor will work out what’s needed. Nobody will make you feel bad about the gap.
Yes. Tell us where they need to go and we’ll send them.
Usually under half an hour. Booking a time rather than walking in is the reliable way to keep it short.
