Who do I contact in case of emergencies?

What vaccinations are required for boarding & grooming visits?

For our feline guests we require Rabies and the Feline Distemper combo vaccine. For our canine guests we require Rabies, Distemper/Parvo combo, Influenza and Bordetella. All vaccines have an incubation period before they become completely effective so if your pet is not current with the above vaccinations, we require a waiting period, which may include an appointment to get updated several days before your resort reservation. We ensure the highest standards to ensure all our resort guests stay free from spreading or catching a disease.

Why should I do bloodwork when my pet isn't sick?

For the same reason that your own personal doctor requires you to have bloodwork each year, and you have the ability to talk! Your pet cannot tell us how it feels, and bloodwork is probably the best tool that we have to determine if your dog or cat is having issues or not. Importantly, even if your pet is not having issues it is important to have a bloodwork baseline established so that we can make a better diagnosis should your pet ever become ill.

What do elective surgery prices include?

Everything that we require for the procedure is already included in our estimates. We include IV catherization, IV fluids, bloodwork, pain medication and antibiotics, if required. The morning of surgery, the admitting technician will review the treatment plan including costs as well as surgery consents. They will be sure to get a contact number so they can give you an update when your pet is in recovery. Most elective procedures are allowed to discharge the same day.

Can I get an estimate?

My pet is a senior. Are there any more things I need to do for his health?

Definitely. Just like human medicine changes as we get older, your pet's medical needs also change as he or she gets older. Regular checkups should occur every 6 months for pets 7 years and older and are very helpful in catching problems early. The bloodwork panel will include different tests than younger animals would get, and almost all senior pets require some type of dental care on a regular basis. On some pets, we may recommend chest x-rays, abdominal ultrasound, and an EKG.

Where can I get my dog groomed?

Here, of course! We offer grooming 6 days a week and can be scheduled as an appointment drop off so your pet doesn’t have to wait for hours to get started. Of course, if your schedule is more convenient to drop off when we open, our grooming guests are walked and given water during their stay and will be ready for pick up at your convenience before we close for the day. Our full grooms include the standard nail trims, ear cleaning and external anal gland expression but we also offer a rainforest facial and freshen breath at no extra charge. Please call to schedule an appointment!

What is included in an Annual Feline Visit?

A thorough physical exam, which includes examining the mouth and teeth for dental disease and tumors, examining the eyes, the retina (located at the back of the eyeball), the ears, the lymph nodes, checking the heart for murmurs, listening for abnormal lung sounds, and palpating the abdomen for lumps. It also includes taking the pet's weight, temperature, heart and respiratory rates, and noting any changes from the last visit. Lastly, we will talk to you about your pet's habits and evaluate the need for certain vaccines. For most cats we recommend the feline distemper vaccine, the feline leukemia vaccine, and the rabies vaccine. We also do bloodwork, screen for internal parasites via a microscopic fecal exam, and for cats considered to be "at risk", an annual Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS (FIV) blood test.
