Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
How much is a new client exam?
Because we want you and your pet to get to know us and feel comfortable at Paoli Vetcare, New Client Exams are on us. We are the best-reviewed veterinary hospital on the Main Line for a reason, and during your initial appointment, we can get an accurate account of your pet’s health, conduct a comprehensive physical exam, and discuss additional treatments and medications.
Paoli Vetcare offers a number of different veterinary services for Phoenixville residents. Our appointments are 30 minutes long because we know that consistent care cannot be rushed. We want you to feel like you can trust our staff, and our years of small-town veterinary experience have shown us that corporate vet practices just aren’t up to snuff.
How do I book a pet boarding reservation in Phoenixville, PA?
The pet boarding process with Paoli Vetcare is easy. You can book a Philadelphia pet boarding slot online, over the phone, or in person, but we do ask that you plan ahead if you have an upcoming trip so that we can be made fully aware of pet behaviors, dietary restrictions, and medical needs.
Are You Fear Free® Certified?
The staff at Paoli Vetcare are Fear Free® certified because we believe that every pet deserves a life without fear and anxiety. There are many stressors that can make a pet nervous during a veterinary appointment, which is why we utilize the gentle control techniques of the Fear Free® method.
By creating a calming environment, Fear Free® methods and protocols reduce or remove anxiety triggers. This makes veterinary appointments safer and more rewarding for everyone involved, including pets and their owners.
