FAQs

Do I need to contact my previous veterinarian if I am switching to your hospital?
No, you do not need to do anything. We will contact your previous veterinarian for you. But if you have any medical records, please bring them with you, especially if you have taken your pet to see multiple veterinarians.

How do I get my pet overseas or across the country if I am moving?
Visit the USDA/APHIS website for all information regarding pet travel.

What flea control do you recommend for my dog and cat?
We offer several different flea control products which we prescribe according to your pet's lifestyle and exposure to various parasites.

Are there any other preventatives that my pet needs besides flea control?
Yes, definitely. Your dogs and cats need to be protected from heartworm disease, which is spread by mosquitoes. The heartworm products we sell conveniently contain intestinal parasite (worm) control as well.
