pet-services

pet-services
Pet Dental Cleaning
Professional scaling and polishing of a pet's teeth under general anesthesia to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Includes full oral exam and dental X-rays. Most pets require annual or biannual cleanings to prevent periodontal disease.
pet-services
Pet Microchipping
Subcutaneous injection of a rice-grain-sized RFID microchip between the shoulder blades for permanent pet identification. Chip is registered in a national database linked to owner contact info. Dramatically increases the chance of reuniting lost pets with owners.
pet-services
Emergency Vet Visit
Urgent veterinary care at an emergency animal hospital for after-hours or life-threatening situations including trauma, poisoning, bloat, difficulty breathing, or seizures. Emergency exam fees are charged at significantly higher rates than regular wellness visits.
pet-services
Dog Bath & Full Groom
Full grooming service including bath, blow dry, brush out, breed-appropriate haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and finishing spritz. Price varies significantly by breed, coat type, and dog size. Double-coated breeds require additional time and cost.
pet-services
Cat Boarding (per night)
Overnight boarding for cats in a dedicated cat-only facility or separate cat wing of a boarding kennel. Typically includes individual condos, daily playtime, and feeding per owner's schedule. Cat-only facilities reduce stress from hearing dogs.
pet-services
In-Home Pet Sitting Visit
A pet sitter visits the owner's home to feed, exercise, and spend time with pets. Reduces stress compared to boarding by keeping pets in their familiar environment. Visits typically last 30 to 60 minutes. Overnight stays are priced separately.
pet-services
Dog Walking
Solo or group dog walking service for 20 to 60 minutes. Solo walks cost more but provide individual attention. Apps like Rover and Wag connect owners with local walkers. Regular midday walks are essential for high-energy breeds in apartments.
pet-services

Spay surgery for a female cat including ovariohysterectomy under general anesthesia. Prevents heat cycles, pyometra, and mammary tumors when performed before first heat.
pet-services

Ultrasonic scaling and polishing of a dog's teeth under general anesthesia with pre-anesthetic bloodwork. Extractions billed separately per tooth. Recommended annually for dogs prone to dental disease.
pet-services
Cat Dental Cleaning
