- Will I be provided with an estimate of costs?
Our Visalia emergency vets will provide an estimate for the cost of our services in good faith prior to treating your pet. However, unforeseen circumstances could arise that may impact your final bill.
We will always discuss our written estimate with our clients before they leave our facility, and require a deposit based on our estimate before any further treatment.
- Should I call ahead to book an appointment?
If you are able to, please call us to let us know that you are on your way.
- What types of animals do you treat?
We treat cats and dogs experiencing emergency health issues or that have been injured.
- What are the fees associated with an emergency visit?
A deposit payment is required for all emergency examinations. Once the staff and doctors have examined your pet, an estimate for treatment will be given to you so we can establish a treatment plan.
If additional hospitalization, diagnostics, or surgery is required, we will need a deposit upfront, with payment due in full when your pet is discharged.
- Can you help with my pet insurance?
We will be happy to help you complete the pet insurance forms for your pet’s visit.
