Do you see emergencies?
Palms & Paws Veterinary Center is a general practice, but we are not a specialty or emergency hospital. While we will have urgent care appointments and help provide stabilization for emergency cases, we are not a 24-hour facility. For patients that need more advanced care or the extra support overnight, we will do what is best for our patient and transfer to a local emergency room.
What is specialist support?
We are fortunate to have specialists that will spend time with the Palms & Paws team to add additional diagnostics and services to our patient’s without the need to travel to a local specialty hospital.
What makes Palms & Paws different?
We offer state of the art veterinary medicine, delivered with compassion, all to help empower pet-parents and advance the life of pets. Our others-oriented leadership and team based medical approach allows us to deliver on these goals and grow together with our patients and their families.
What services does Palms & Paws offer?
An array of services from wellness visits, primary care, surgery, dentistry, geriatric care, specialist support and more. Please see our services section for more detail!
What animals does Palms & Paws treat?
While we love all animals, we specialize in dogs and cats.
Does Palms & Paws require a membership?
All are welcome, no membership required! We do plan on offering care plans in the near future for puppies & kittens, young to middle aged dogs and cats, as well as geriatric dogs and cats, please schedule an appointment or ask our client service coordinators to learn more.
Do you accept pet insurance?
Pet insurance is an excellent way to protect your pets! We will work with pet insurance carriers and ensure they receive claims in an expedient timeframe. Most insurance companies reimburse their clients after claims are received and approved.
Is there a pet insurance that you recommend?
No-while we don’t recommend a particular type, we understand the decision can be overwhelming. A great resource is www.petted.com, a website where you can compare different insurance plans!
