Dogs & Cats Birds Reptiles Pocket Pets CANINE & FELINE PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE Preventive health care is essential to the continued health of your pet. Many of our sick patients could have avoided their suffering through an adequate prevention program. Timely and appropriate vaccines, a quality diet, and prophylactic dental care are some important examples of disease prevention. Along with the knowledge that you are giving your pet adequate preventative care, you will find that the costs for prevention are much smaller than the cost for treatment. To provide this type of care we recommend the following:
In addition to medical and surgical services, we also offer on-site boarding
facilities for nearly all the species we treat.

and Reptile, and Exotic Mammal Medicine. PRESCRIPTION REFILLS Our responsibility in dispensing veterinary pharmaceuticals is the same as your physician in
dispensing human prescriptions. Therefore we ask that if you need a refill on medication that your veterinarian has prescribed for your pet
in the past, please call 24 hours in advance. Prescription refills must be approved by one of our veterinarians and then dispensed by qualified personnel.
To ensure that your pet continues to be on the correct dose or is not having underlying side effects from long-term medications, re-examinations and
periodic laboratory tests may need to be performed.
In accordance with the Arizona Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program Act,
if your pet requires a medication that falls into a category of drugs listed in the Federal Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule II, Schedule III or Schedule
IV substance you will be required to show a state or federal issue photo ID at the time of purchase. Accepted forms of identification are: A state issued Driver’s
License, a Military ID card (active, dependent or retired) or state issued ID that shows your full name, birth date and physical street address (not a post office or
mailing center box number). We are unable to accept any form of ID that does not contain a photograph, street address or birth date. Physical street addresses
are required for reporting as we are reporting the physical location of the medication. If a member of the household under the age of 18 is picking up the
medication, we will need to be able to verbally confirm parental authorization for pick up and obtain parental information for reporting purposes at the time
of pick up. |
