Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of animals do you treat?

We love to treat dogs and cats! We refer exotic animals needing veterinary care to Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services.

Do I need to have an appointment?

Yes, patients are seen by appointment only.

Do you have parking?

Yes, the Pan Am Shopping Center offers ample parking and it is free!

What forms of payment do you accept?

At what age should I have my pet spayed or neutered?

As a general rule, we recommend performing a spay/neuter at 6 months of age in most small-medium sized dogs and 4-6 months of age in cats.  In larger breed dogs, we recommend waiting until 1 year of age as some studies show this might help reduce the risk of certain diseases developing when your pet is older.

Can I make payments?

Payment is required at the time of service. However, Care Credit can assist with veterinary bills and payment plans. http://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/

How long is my appointment?

We generally schedule most routine visits as 30 minutes and any new patient and puppy/kitten visit is scheduled as 1 hour, so we have adequate time to review your prior medical history and answer any questions you may have.

If this occurs during normal business hours, contact our hospital if possible to update us that you are bringing your pet in to us.  If we are closed, we recommend bringing your pet to the local emergency hospital VCA SouthPaws or Hope Center.
