Do you have to make an appointment?
Veterinary Hospital of Centreville is primarily a walk-in clinic, however we do require all surgeries and all large animal visits (on-site and farm calls) to be scheduled ahead with a fixed appointment time. We also ask that any emergency cases that occur during office hours call before coming to the clinic.
Do we offer charging?
Payment is required when services are rendered at the time of the visit. Veterinary Hospital of Centreville strives to offer compassionate, comprehensive veterinary care to pet owners in Bibb, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, Chilton, and Perry Counties. In order to continue a high quality of service, payment is expected in full at the time of examination or procedure. We accept cash, checks, debit or credit cards, and we also offer Scratch Pay.
Why does my pet need a dental procedure?
Periodontal disease (disease of the structures around the teeth such as the gums, bone, and connective tissue) is one of the most common problems that we see at Veterinary Hospital of Centreville. Periodontal infections, tooth fractures, and oral masses can be sources of serious discomfort for your pet. Additionally, untreated periodontal infections can cause damage to major organs of the body including the heart, liver, and kidneys. Proper veterinary dental care can help prevent your pet from developing painful dental conditions, and can extend their life expectancy as well.
How important is nutrition for my pet?
Similar to human food intake, a diet that is low in fat and high in protein is essential to the life of your pet. Pets, like people, are unique and individual; they have different needs based on their size, breed, age, and health issues. But no matter what their individual needs are, it is important that pets maintain a healthy weight, eat a nutritious diet, and receive adequate exercise to promote living longer with fewer health issues.
When pets are overweight, it creates a tendency towards diabetes, heart disease, joint problems, and other chronic health conditions. Using our nutritional counseling services at Veterinary Hospital of Centreville will help simplify just what your pet should be eating and how much.
