Question 3

Is there a cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, please give Fieldstone Veterinary Care 24 hours advanced notice, to ensure you will not be charged for the appointment.

If less than 24 hours notice is given and we are unable to fill your time slot, you will be expected to pay for the appointment.

Question 4

Is it REALLY necessary to give my cat or dog flea, tick, and heartworm prevention year-round?

Accepted Answer

Fieldstone Veterinary Care says that flea, tick, and mosquito activity reduces when the weather cools, but they must be exposed to freezing temperatures for several days to die. Intestinal parasites can be found at any time of year, and heartworm prevention helps to keep them at bay.

Question 5

What kind of pets do you treat? - Fieldstone Veterinary Care

Accepted Answer

Fieldstone Veterinary Care treats cats and dogs.

Question 6

What forms of payment do you accept? - Fieldstone Veterinary Care

Accepted Answer

Fieldstone Veterinary Care accepts cash, checks, all major credit cards, and CareCredit.

Question 7

Can I get my pet's medication same day?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. For all prescription refills, Fieldstone Veterinary Care prefers 48 hours notice to ensure the item is in stock. Waiting until you run out increases the likelihood that your pet will be without their critical prescription. Especially now, when we're dealing with supply shortages.

Question 8

My pet has this problem a month ago, can't I just get the same medication?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the issue, Fieldstone Veterinary Care will most likely require your pet to be seen again, even if they were recently diagnosed and treated for the same medical condition. Because certain medical illnesses appear to be the same, we may not be treating your pet effectively if we assume it is the same condition. Certain drugs might create resistance, which can lead to a lack of reaction or, worse, a more serious condition if taken too often or incorrectly. The best way to keep your pet healthy for years to come is to have an exam to ensure proper diagnosis.

Question 9

Do I have to vaccinate my pet? - Fieldstone Veterinary Care

Accepted Answer

Here at Fieldstone Veterinary Care that's going to be a yes and no. As a matter of public safety, the state and county require that your cat or dog be vaccinated against Rabies. If your pet bites another person or animal, they must be quarantined, and the form of quarantine depends on their vaccination status. If your pet has not been properly vaccinated for Rabies, the County may impose fines. Other vaccines are considered either core or elective.

Question 10

Do I need to make an appointment? - Fieldstone Veterinary Care
