1. Vaccinations: It is important to vaccinate your pet.
It is also important not to over vaccinate your pet.
That is why we utilize the vaccination schedule recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association.
2. We encourage early spay/neutering for your dog's and cat's health as well as to help keep unwanted pets out of shelters.
However, new research indicates that large breed dogs may benefit from delaying the surgery until they are a year of age.
We work with owners to create a spay/neuter plan that is right for their pet.

MOST cats would benefit from some anti-anxiety medication prior to their veterinary visit.
Hissing, shivering, freezing, and refusing to exit the crate are all signs of anxiety.
Call 907-747-3788 if you would like to pick up a Calming Kit for Cats to reduce the stress of your cat's visit.
The entire kit is $9.50.
Feliway Wipe: Feliway is a feline facial pheromone analogue that your cat deposits when she rubs her cheek on your leg or furniture.
This substance is a signal that cats use to mark objects in their "territory".
