Our goal is to help you understand your options and anticipated costs so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.

These visits are accommodated between regularly scheduled appointments and may involve a longer wait time.
For established patients needing to be seen the same day after the schedule has reached full capacity. This fee reflects the additional accommodation required to add an appointment beyond the normal daily schedule. Availability is based on the medical needs of the patient and the doctor’s ability to safely accommodate the visit.

Dental Care
Dental pricing varies depending on the severity of dental disease, dental radiographs, extractions, oral surgery needs, anesthesia time, and medications.
Bundled Dental Assessment & Cleaning Package
Our bundled dental package provides a comprehensive oral evaluation while keeping anesthesia time as short as possible. If dental extractions or advanced oral surgery are needed, they are scheduled as a separate procedure so you have time to review the treatment plan, budget accordingly, and make informed decisions for your pet's care.
Each package includes:
- Comprehensive oral examination
- IV catheter placement
- IV Fluid therapy
- Induction and General anesthesia
- Full-mouth dental radiographs
- Ultrasonic scaling
- Dental polishing
- Complete dental charting
- Periodontal staging
- Treatment planning for any recommended extractions or oral surgery
Why We Use This Approach:
- Allows for shorter anesthesia times, which is safer for your pet.
- Gives our doctors the opportunity to fully evaluate every tooth using dental radiographs before making treatment recommendations.
- Provides a detailed treatment plan if extractions or oral surgery are needed.
- Gives families time to review recommendations, plan financially, and schedule any additional treatment at a discounted price.
- Ensures every pet receives personalized care based on the true extent of dental disease.
If extractions or advanced oral surgery are recommended, a separate estimate will be provided before scheduling the second procedure.

Ultrasound & Cardiac Imaging
Hospitalization & Medical Care
Surgery Packages
Surgical pricing varies by procedure, patient size, anesthesia needs, lab work, medications, surgical complexity, and individual medical needs. The prices listed are intended as a general guide, as every patient is evaluated individually and final costs may vary based on your pet’s specific diagnostics, medications, treatment recommendations, weight, and medical needs. Before surgery, our team will provide a personalized treatment plan and estimate outlining the recommended services and associated costs so you know what to expect before your pet’s procedure. Our surgical packages may include:
- Pre-surgical examination
- IV catheter placement
- IV fluid therapy
- General anesthesia
- Cardio-pulmonary monitoring
- CO2, SpO2, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring
- Local nerve blocks
- Electrocautery
- Laser therapy
- Pain management
- Anti-nausea medication
- Anti-anxiety medication
- Take-home medications
- Elizabethan collar or surgical body suit
- Surgical supplies and disposal fees
Please Note: The prices listed above are starting rates and include the surgical procedure only. They do not include preoperative medications (anti-nausea, pain medications and anti-anxiety medications), take-home pain medications, e-collars or recovery suits, nerve blocks, electrocautery, or other recommended or required services. Studies have shown that administering anti-nausea, anti-anxiety, and pain medications before surgery helps improve patient comfort, provides better pain control, reduces stress, and supports a smoother recovery. We will review all recommended services and associated costs with you before your pet's procedure so you can make informed decisions about their care. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is required for pets 5 years of age and older to help ensure anesthesia can be performed as safely as possible. For pets under 5 years of age, pre-anesthetic bloodwork is strongly recommended but not required unless the veterinarian determines it is medically necessary based on the patient’s health, history, or individual anesthetic risk. While we strongly recommend bloodwork for all pets undergoing anesthesia, we understand every family's financial situation is different and discuss available options whenever appropriate.
Additional Fee for Dogs in Heat (Estrus)
Why is there an additional fee for dogs in heat? When a female dog is in heat (estrus), the reproductive tissues become enlarged and contain a much greater blood supply. This makes surgery more technically challenging and time-consuming. Additional surgical time, meticulous tissue handling, specialized suture materials, and enhanced bleeding control are often required to safely perform the procedure. All prices listed are starting rates and may vary based on your pet's size, age, health status, and individual surgical needs. A personalized estimate will always be provided before surgery
Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation may help pets recovering from surgery, injury, arthritis, neurologic conditions, mobility challenges, and chronic pain.
PRP Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is an advanced regenerative therapy that uses your pet's own platelets and growth factors to support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve comfort and mobility.
Final PRP pricing depends on the number of treatment sites, patient size, sedation or anesthesia needs, medications, and the overall treatment plan.
Why Veterinary Care Costs What It Does
The cost of veterinary care reflects advanced medical equipment, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, anesthesia monitoring, surgical safety protocols, pain management, skilled veterinary professionals, continuing education, high-quality medications, and personalized treatment planning. Our goal is to provide excellent medicine, compassionate care, and clear communication so you can make informed decisions for your pet's health. Please note: Prices listed are starting rates only and are subject to change. Final pricing may vary based on your pet's individual needs. A personalized treatment plan and estimate will be provided before services are performed.
