Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

How much is a new client exam?

Our New Client Exams are free!

Paoli Vetcare appointments are typically 30 minutes long, with the option of longer 60-minute appointments. We are big believers in consistently good care, and we don’t rush pets or owners who need more time.

You can drop off your pet or come in for a visit, and during their day trip, your doctor will assess your pet, provide necessary care, and consult with you by phone. Plus, we offer urgent care, emergency services, and surgeries at Paoli  Vetcare’s Main Line AAHA-accredited animal hospital.
