What happens during a wellness exam?

Your veterinarian will check your pet from nose to tail, including weight, eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, skin and joints. We will also talk through diet, behavior and any changes you’ve noticed at home. Learn more about exams and consultations.

How often should my pet see the veterinarian?

Most healthy adult pets should be seen at least once a year. Puppies, kittens, seniors and pets with ongoing health conditions often need more frequent visits. Our preventative medicine program covers vaccinations, parasite prevention and screening tailored to your pet’s age and lifestyle.

Do you run lab tests at the clinic?

Yes. Our in-house laboratory lets us run many tests during your pet’s visit, which can speed up diagnosis and treatment decisions. For more specialized testing, we work with an outside laboratory.

Do you offer X-rays and ultrasound?

Yes. We use digital radiography and ultrasound to look inside the body without invasive procedures. They help us evaluate bones, organs and soft tissues and find the cause of a problem.

Does your clinic perform surgery?

Yes. We perform a range of procedures, from routine spays and neuters to soft tissue surgery. Your veterinarian will explain the procedure, pre-surgical steps and aftercare before the day arrives. Read more about our surgical services.

Do you provide dental care for pets?

Yes. Dental disease is common in dogs and cats and can affect their overall health. Our dentistry services include exams, cleanings and treatment to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and comfortable.

Can you help with joint, bone or mobility problems?

Yes. If your pet is limping, slowing down or struggling to get up, our orthopedic services can help identify the cause and build a plan to improve comfort and mobility.

Do you offer boarding for dogs and cats?

Yes. Our boarding service gives pets a safe place to stay while you travel, with a veterinary team close by. Call us at (269) 793-7387 to check availability and ask about what to bring.

Do you have daycare?

Yes. Daycare offers social time and supervision on days when you’re at work or running errands. Contact us to ask about availability and getting your dog started.

Is grooming available?

Yes. Our grooming service helps keep your pet’s coat, skin and nails in good shape. Call us to ask about scheduling and which services fit your pet.

How do I request a prescription refill?

Use our online prescription refill request form, or call us at (269) 793-7387. Please request refills a few days before your pet runs out so we have time to review and prepare them.

What payment options are available?

We want quality care to be within reach. Through Cherry payment plans, you may be able to break larger bills into manageable payments. Call our team if you have questions about costs or payment options.

Can you prepare international travel certificates for my pet?
