Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pets do you treat?+
We primarily care for dogs and cats, with appointments tailored to each pet's age, health needs, and comfort level. If you have a question about another companion animal, contact our team before booking so we can guide you to the right care.
What services do you offer?+
Upper Village Veterinary Hospital offers wellness exams, vaccinations, puppy and kitten care, dentistry, surgery, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, nutrition support, senior pet care, travel certificates, telehealth support, and compassionate end-of-life care.
What vaccinations does my pet actually need?+
Vaccination recommendations depend on your pet's species, age, health history, lifestyle, and exposure risk. During an appointment, our doctors review your pet's medical record and help you understand which vaccines are necessary and why.
What is end-of-life care?+
End-of-life care is compassionate support for pets and families when quality of life is changing. Our team can help with comfort planning, quality-of-life conversations, pain management, and humane euthanasia when that becomes the kindest choice.
Do you accept new clients?+
Yes, we welcome new clients and new patients. You can request an appointment online or call the hospital, and our team will help you choose the right visit type for your pet's needs.
Do you accept walk-ins?+
We recommend booking an appointment so your pet can receive the right amount of time and attention. If your pet has an urgent concern, please call first so our team can advise you on availability, timing, or emergency care options.
Do you accept pet insurance?+
Yes. Pet owners usually pay the hospital directly and then submit claims to their insurance provider for reimbursement. We can provide invoices and medical records needed for most claim submissions.
Do you offer after-hours care?+
We offer 24/7 veterinary telehealth support to help pet parents get guidance outside regular hospital hours. If your pet needs in-person emergency care, our team can help direct you to the appropriate emergency hospital.
How should I prepare my pet for a veterinary visit?+
Please bring any medical records, medication names, diet details, and questions you want to discuss. Dogs should arrive on leash and cats should arrive in a secure carrier so the visit starts as calmly and safely as possible.
What are your hours of operation?+
Our current clinic hours are Monday to Thursday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Sunday closed. Please confirm current hours when booking, as schedules may change.
