    • Access to an around-the-clock Lost Pet Specialist to guide you through the process of searching for your lost pet
    • Recovery Specialists send rapid Lost Pet Alerts to the network of veterinarians, shelters and PetRescuers in the area your pet went missing.

    • Lost pets found 500 miles from home can receive up to $500 in pet airfare to fly your dog or cat back home. 
  • Dental Assessment

  • Retained deciduous teeth, commonly seen in young pets, occur when the permanent teeth fail to displace the temporary teeth. The permanent tooth and deciduous teeth occupy the same location, causing crowding and damage to the permanent tooth. Dental crowding can also lead to rapid plaque accumulation. Retained deciduous teeth should be removed. 

     

    Missing permanent teeth is also a common problem. Missing teeth should be x-rayed to rule out the possibility of a retained or trapped tooth. A trapped tooth below the gumline can lead to a destructive, dentigerous cyst. Trapped teeth should be surgically removed. 

  • Preventatives

    Dogs and cats should receive monthly preventatives to protect them from tick-borne disease, intestinal parasites, heartworm disease, and flea-borne diseases. The preventatives your pet receives also decreases the risk to your family from flea/tick/parasite exposure.
