Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions regarding our clinic appointments, Saturday low-cost vaccine clinic, boarding policies, and pet health in El Paso.

Our Saturday Vaccine Clinic runs every Saturday morning from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM (NOON). Walk-ins are welcome and no advance appointment is necessary! You receive $5 OFF Rabies Shots, and we also administer Parvo, Distemper, Bordetella, and FVRCP feline shots on a first-come, first-served basis.
Your pet must be at least 4 months of age (16 weeks) for a spay or neuter surgery. We recommend scheduling the procedure between 4 months and 6 months of age, before your female pet has her first heat cycle or your male pet develops territorial spraying or roaming behaviors.
To ensure the health of all boarding guests, we require proof of up-to-date vaccinations:
  • Dogs: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Kennel Cough (Bordetella).
  • Cats: Rabies and Feline Distemper (FVRCP).
If your pet's vaccines are overdue, our veterinarians can conveniently administer the required shots upon arrival.
Even dogs maintained on preventative medication require a heartworm antigen blood test every 2 years. If an administration is missed or vomited without the owner's knowledge, giving preventative medication to an infected dog can trigger severe allergic reactions. Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes common across the Rio Grande valley.
The City of El Paso requires all dogs and cats over 4 months of age to be vaccinated against rabies, microchipped, and registered with a City Pet License. While the rabies vaccine itself may last 3 years after the first booster, the City Rabies License must be renewed annually.
Yes! This is one of our most popular conveniences. While your dog or cat boards in our dog runs or kitty condos, our clinical team can perform ultrasonic dental cleanings, spay/neuter surgery, routine blood tests, nail trims, or a refreshing bath before pick-up.
Yes, our "Meds & More" in-house pharmacy carries brand-name veterinary prescription medications, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives (NexGard, Heartgard, Simparica, Bravecto), prescription diets, and chronic pain/arthritis medications filled while you wait.
For critical emergencies outside of our operating hours, please immediately take your pet to the Animal Emergency and Referral Center located at 1220 Airways Blvd, El Paso, TX 79925, phone (915) 545-1148.
