Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Bleish is a lifelong pet lover and shares his home with dogs and cats. He feeds his own pets Hill's Science Diet and cares for their teeth with regular dental maintenance.

We recommend a high-quality, nutritionally balanced diet appropriate for your pet's age, size, and health. Ask us about Hill's Science Diet and Prescription Diets during your visit.

The right amount depends on your pet's age, weight, activity level, and the food you choose. We'll help you determine the correct portion during your appointment.

Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious injury to your dog's mouth, throat, or digestive tract. There are many safe, vet-approved treats we can recommend instead.

We require payment at the time of service. We accept cash, personal check with ID, and credit cards including MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. All invoices must be paid in full when the pet is released.

Please bring any medical or breeding history, a list of questions, any current medications, the bag of food you feed, and a fresh stool sample. See our appointment page for the full checklist.

A mix of running, fishing, and one very active thread about replica watches.

She'll happily point you to the page where she found it.
