A Word About Fees: A physical examination and consultation is the first step in providing care for your pet. This is history taking, examination of the pet, and answering questions related to the problem or exam findings. Information is gathered by looking, listening, smelling, and feeling. Sometimes further information is needed, in which case we may suggest lab tests or other procedures. All subsequent lab tests, professional procedures, medications and vaccinations have a fee attached in addition to that charged for the physical exam and consultation. You are entitled to know what that fee is. However, some of our clients find it time consuming and cumbersome for us to continually quote prices prior to doing anything. Therefore, we would like to know your preference so that we may serve you better.
