Frequently Asked Questions

What if my pet has difficulty walking or is anxious?

We understand that walking your pet from the parking lot to the hospital can be stressful for some pets and clients. If you have concerns, please call us when you arrive at 813-551-1377.

  • We have collapsible steps available to assist elderly or small dogs. We also have various stretchers for those unable to walk.

  • Inform staff in advance to use the rear door. This can make visits easier for pets who are fearful, aggressive around other animals, or require sensitive care, such as during euthanasia appointments.

  • We also use calming pheromones for cats and dogs throughout the hospital to help calm anxious pets. Some pets require pre-visit anxiety medication as well.

Please communicate your needs with us so we can ensure a calm, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.
