We treat each pet as an individual and will make specific recommendations based on our physical exam and review of your pet’s history. Not every pet will need all of the items on the following lists, but we provide this information so you have a general understanding of the costs of care.
The housecall fee covers the doctor’s time and travel. The fee is charged once per visit, and is the same regardless of the number of pets seen at the visit.
Most healthy, indoor cats do well with just an annual exam and two vaccinations:
Multi-pet Discount – We are happy to examine more than one pet at the visit, and we offer a $20 discount on the annual exam for each of the additional pets seen at the same visit.
Additional Items for Cats – Depending on your cat’s lifestyle we may recommend additional tests or treatments, such as testing for exposure to feline AIDS (FIV) and feline leukemia (FeLV), a vaccination for FeLV, testing for intestinal parasites, a deworming treatment, and medication for flea and tick prevention.
Most healthy dogs do well with an annual exam, vaccinations, and monitoring for intestinal parasites and other diseases:
We also recommend preventive medications to avoid exposure to fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease:
Multi-Pet Discount – We are happy to examine more than one pet at the visit, and we offer a $20 discount on the annual exam for each of the additional pets seen at the same visit.
Additional Items for Dogs – Depending on your dog’s lifestyle we may recommend additional tests or treatments, such as vaccinations for kennel cough (bordetella), flu, and leptospirosis.
Cats and dogs may experience short-term problems or chronic illness that we can manage through monitoring and treatment. The costs vary depending on each pet’s individual needs, so if you would like additional information to estimate your pet’s care, please let us know. The starting point for most sick pet visits is our housecall fee (see above) and a diagnostic exam ($120). After the exam the doctor will discuss the findings with you and recommend a plan.
We provide caring, compassionate euthanasia at home, so you and your pet can be in familiar surroundings during a personal and emotional time.
Many clients choose to have us take their pet’s body and arrange for cremation. You may choose either a group cremation with no return of ashes, or a private cremation with the return of ashes. Prices for these services depend on your pet’s weight, as follows:
In addition, if you would like a special urn for your pet’s ashes or another memento, you can view the options at www.finalgift.com/memorial-products.
We try to avoid charging a cancellation fee but want you to be aware of our policy. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee (equal to the housecall fee) for appointments canceled or rescheduled within 48 hours of the appointment. For more information, please read our cancellation policy.
Please let us know if you want an estimate for your visit. We will gladly prepare a care plan showing the price of each treatment your pet may need. We offer a 10% discount to senior and disabled clients.
