Heartworm Treatment
Heartworm treatment is expensive, the average clinic charges $1,500-$2,000 for treatment. We do our best to offer this service at a low-cost but understand that the medications needed for this treatment are expensive and it will take up to a year to conclude treatment and receive negative results. While prevention is always your best choice, if your pet does have heartworm, we recommend doing research and gaining a full understanding of this very serious diagnosis.
We do not currently have the ability to x-ray your pet prior to treatment, this is recommended before starting treatment so we can refer you to other clinics to have this done or you can sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of treatment without an x-ray.
Euthanasia Services
Our euthanasia services are available to everyone; however, if you are not a patient with recent exam history, a euthanasia consult appointment with our veterinarian is required before a euthanasia can be scheduled. We reserve the right to refuse euthanasia requests for animals who are medically and behaviorally sound.
