Pet Care

We understand per care.

Please bring any previous medical records, a list of current medications, and a stool sample if available.

We offer a wide range of services including wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, surgery, diagnostic testing, and microchipping.

We specialize in providing exceptional care for dogs and cats. You can rely on us to provide compassionate and expert care to keep your canine and feline companions in optimal health.

We recommend annual wellness exams for all pets, and more frequent visits for senior pets or those with ongoing health issues.

Core vaccines for dogs include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. For cats, core vaccines include rabies, feline distemper, and calicivirus. We will tailor a vaccination schedule to your pet’s needs.

Yes. Once established as a new client we can continue treatment. We have some medications on-hand and an on-line pharmacy.

We do not offer grooming or boarding, but we can recommend trusted local providers.

At Paws Plus Veterinary, we offer two options for medical service appointments to ensure the best experience for both you and your pet.

🐾 Standard Exam (Discounted Rate) – Our primary exam protocol allows pets to be seen while owners remain in the lobby. This approach helps reduce pet stress, improves efficiency, and allows us to serve more pets in need. Because of the streamlined process, we offer this option at a discounted exam rate ($35 off for well and $15 off for sick appointments). If you would like to meet the Veterinarian before or after your appointment, this is absolutely available for these appointments as well.

🐾 Owner-Present Exam (Standard Rate, Appointment Required) – If you prefer to accompany your pet into the exam room, we are happy to accommodate this request at our standard exam price of $75. To ensure we schedule enough time for a thorough visit, this option requires a booked appointment in advance and is not available for walk-ins.

These options allow us to provide accessible, high-quality care while maintaining an efficient and stress-free environment for our patients. If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, our team is happy to assist you!

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We accept cash, credit and Care Credit. We also work with insurance companies and can help you through that process.
