Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that pet care can come with questions — and we’re here to help. Our FAQs are designed to make your visit easier and ensure you always feel informed, supported, and confident in your pet’s care.

What’s the difference between urgent care and an emergency?
Urgent care includes non-life-threatening issues that still require prompt attention (like vomiting or ear infections). Emergencies involve immediate, life-saving care. If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll help guide you.
What happens on my pet’s surgery day? Will they stay overnight?
Most procedures are completed on an outpatient basis, meaning your pet will go home the same day. We provide clear instructions on drop-off, monitoring, and post-operative care.
What parasite prevention does my pet need?
Recommendations vary based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, exposure risk, and health needs. Our team will help you choose the most effective year-round protection plan.
Why does my pet need a heartworm test every year if they’re on prevention?
Even with regular prevention, missed or delayed doses can occur. Annual testing ensures your pet remains protected and allows for early detection of any heartworm exposure.
Why does my pet need flea, tick, and heartworm prevention on Cape Cod?
Cape Cod’s climate supports parasites throughout the year. Consistent prevention protects your pet from illnesses like Lyme disease, heartworm disease, and other tick- or mosquito-borne infections.
