There’s no such thing as a dumb question, and uncommon unknowns are more common than you might think! Google doesn’t have all the answers, and our well-trained and caring staff loves to answer any type of question you might have. When the human world rapidly changes, so does the world of your pets, and we are also happy to offer virtual appointment options if you have an emergency question but cannot make it into the clinic.
1. Do I need an appointment?
Yes, we usually see patients by appointment. The exception is a serious emergency during office hours, in that case, start driving to the hospital and call on your way, if possible. You have a number of convenient ways to schedule an appointment with Paoli Vetcare. Call or text, email, or schedule online.
2. Can I get help over the phone?
Definitely! We are always here to help. We’ll answer questions about fees or help you troubleshoot issues such as:
- Should my pet be seen right away?
- Is there anything I can do right now for my pet at home?

3. Does Paoli Vetcare do pet grooming?
At this time, we do not have a we can offer baths with brush-outs and basic trimming/clipping. We aren’t able to do breed-specific clips. We do provide veterinarian-supervised sedation if your dog or cat requires it.
4. Will Paoli Vetcare send my pet’s vaccine records for boarding, grooming, or specialty care?
No problem, just call, text, or email us with the contact info.
5. Do you fill pharmacy prescriptions?
Yes, we can fill your prescription on-site or through our online pharmacy.
6. Do you perform teeth cleaning or dental?
Regular dental care is an important part of maintaining good overall health. All procedures are under anesthesia because this is the only way to thoroughly clean a pet’s teeth. After the veterinarian’s exam, we will provide a cost estimate in advance.

X-rays are done every day. For ultrasound exams, we believe it is in the best interests of your pet to see a board-certified radiologist at a specialty hospital.
