pet care FAQs
How often should my pet have a checkup?
Many healthy adult pets benefit from at least one wellness examination each year. Puppies, kittens, seniors and pets with ongoing conditions may need more frequent visits based on veterinary advice.
Can I use human medicine for my dog or cat?
Do not give human medicine unless a veterinarian has specifically prescribed it for your pet. Common medicines can be harmful or fatal to animals.
How can I prepare for a clinic visit?
Bring vaccination records, current medication names and a short timeline of symptoms. Keep cats in a secure carrier and dogs safely leashed.
