Services Offered: Illness exam: $35
Animals that come to our Wellness Wednesday clinics with any symptoms of illness including, but not limited to, respiratory infections, vomiting or diarrhea, and skin or ear infections will be charged an illness exam fee. Animals with health concerns, even relatively basic ones, require a more extensive exam to ensure an appropriate treatment plan is made. The increased charge associated with the illness exam ensures we can continue to dedicate the proper amount of time to our ill patients.
Rabies Vaccination: $10
In Franklin County, the rabies vaccination is required for all pets over 12 weeks of age. Therefore, we require all animals 12 weeks of age and older to receive a rabies vaccination the day of their surgery unless proof of current rabies vaccination is shown at drop off. Proof can either be in the form of a dated rabies certificate or a shot record from your regular veterinarian’s office – a rabies tag is not sufficient proof of current rabies vaccination, as it can be put on any pet.
Other Dog Vaccinations: $10
We recommend that both the Distemper/Parvo Combination vaccine, the Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccine, and the Leptospirosis vaccube be done every year. If this is their first time getting those shots, they should be boostered 3-4 weeks later.
Other Cat Vaccinations: $10
We recommend that both the FVRCP vaccine and the Feline Leukemia vaccine be done every year. If this is their first time getting those shots, they should be boostered 3-4 weeks later. Keep in mind that the Feline Leukemia vaccine can only be given with proof of a negative Feline Leukemia test.
Microchip: $25
A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, so the needle is even wider – for this reason, we try to only microchip pets while they’re asleep for surgery. It can be done awake if your pet is prone to escape, or if they have already been spayed/neutered. We use Home Again microchips, and the price includes registration for life.
Pre-Surgical Bloodwork: $60
For pets over the age of 7, we do in-house bloodwork before spay/neuter surgery to confirm their liver and kidneys are working well enough to undergo anesthesia.
Bloodwork: $75+
We offer many types of bloodwork tests through Antech and Idexx. If you are interested in a specific one, please email us to confirm we can do it.
Testing: $22
Dogs should get a heartworm test before taking heartworm preventatives. Cats are required to get the FeLV/FIV test before getting the Leukemia vaccine.
Revolution: $5-15
Revolution is a topical one-month flea and tick preventative. It is $5 for cats and $15 for dogs.
Bravecto: $50
Bravecto for dogs is an oral three-month flea and tick preventative. For cats, it lasts for two months, but it also covers heart- round- and hookworms.
Tri-Heart: $25-40
Tri-Heart is a heartworm preventative for dogs. It is given monthly, and comes in packs of six. The price inreases with weight.
Deworming: $8-20
We have praziquantel for treating tapeworms, strongid for treating round- and hookworms, and panacur for treating many types of worms. Our doctor will recommend which one is appropriate.
