Surgery Fees
Please note that occasionally additional charges may apply:
In order to maintain a flea-free environment for all of our guests, all pets that arrive for surgery are inspected for evidence of flea infestation. If your pet is found to have fleas; it may be given CAPSTAR flea treatment at an additional $3 charge to you.
You may also be charged a nominal fee if your pet requires an antibiotic injection or other special circumstance medications. In all cases, if these charges will exceed $25 you will be contacted. Please make sure that we have a phone number where we can reach you on the day of services.
