Our business hours are as above, with the first appointment starting at 8:15 AM weekdays. To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical surgeries, we operate primarily by appointment, but walk-ins are welcome, and ill patients are never turned away.

We make a sincere attempt to see each client on time and a phone call is appreciated if an appointment needs to be rescheduled.

When coming in for your pet's appointment, please remember your pet maybe be a little uneasy around new people and animals. This is one reason that we ask that you restrain your pet before coming into the clinic. We request your pet be on a leash or in a pet carrier before entering the waiting area. Your pet and others in the waiting area will appreciate the extra care.

Should your pet have an emergency after our business hours, please call our hospital number which will direct you to the doctor on call., If he or she is unable to respond within 10 minutes, and you feel your pet needs to be seen, please contact Denton County Animal ER.

Onsite Diagnostics

• Heartworm and Fecal Exams

Surgery

Whether your pet requires elective surgery (such as spaying, neutering, or declawing) or needs corrective surgery, we have a clean, well-equipped surgical suite.

For safety and quicker recovery of your pet, we use Isofluorane (gas) anesthesia. We also monitor your pet's vital signs during surgery using pulse oximetry (checking heart rate and blood oxygen levels).

To decrease anesthetic risk to our patients, we recommend pre-operative blood analysis to detect any hidden medical problems. It includes complete blood counts (CBC), liver test (ALT), kidney test (BUN), and a diabetes screen.

Please call ahead to schedule your pet's appointment. In addition, we ask you do the following:

• Take up your food after 8:00pm the night before surgery
• Drop off your pet between 8:00am - 9:30am the day of surgery

Payment and Fees

Payment is due at the time services are rendered. We accept Cash, Check, Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover Card, and CareCredit. We make every effort to make sure all fees are fair and reasonable. You are encouraged to discuss fees and request an estimate before services are rendered.

Boarding/Daycare

Give yourself peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you are away - at our hospital where the doctor can check any boarder needing special attention.

Dogs are individually taken outside twice daily for walks in the wooded area behind our clinic for a potty break and playtime while their run or kennel is cleaned.

Boarding facility sizes range from small kennels to large runs. Boarding fees and kennel size is based on your pet's size and needs.

Your pet is invited to bring luggage with him/her for their stay or food if they are on a special diet, but please don't bring any items that will upset you or your pet if lost or damaged.

Reservations are recommended for boarding. Book early - spaces go fast, especially around major holiday weekends.

Please note that for the health of all pets in our care, we require all vaccinations be current.
