Boarding and other services

Alongside its clinical activity, the center has pet boarding facilities. It also offers pet food and medications, in addition to routine vaccinations.

Operations and customer service

The hospital sees patients by appointment, in order to dedicate the necessary time and attention to each animal. Although it tries to accommodate walk-ins, it recommends calling in advance to schedule the visit and reduce the wait.

Regarding payments, the center accepts cash, most major credit cards, cards such as CreditCare and AllPet, and debit cards. Payment is made at the time the service is received.

The hospital emphasizes that it cannot issue diagnoses or prescriptions over the phone: any diagnosis requires a prior complete physical exam, and prescribing medication without examining the animal is neither legal nor safe.

The entity recommends annual wellness exams because they allow establishing a baseline of the animal's health status, detecting early signs of disease, and keeping vaccinations and parasite prevention up to date.

New clients

The site indicated a promotion for new clients consisting of a free first exam for a limited time, with applicable conditions. The offer had to be mentioned to the team during the appointment.
