- Intestinal parasite screening will be completed at each exam visit but a stool sample must be provided by the pet owner at appointment start time. Samples cannot be brought at a later date.

Spay/Neuter Surgery:
Spay/Neuter surgery is Free with purchase of the package. Included is the surgical procedure, IV catheter, IV fluids, and oral pain medications. Pre-operative bloodwork is not included in the package, but is recommended to be completed 1 week prior to surgery.
A sample surgery form is attached for you to review.
For female animals that present "in heat" at time of spay, there is addtional in-heat fee that will need to be paid before the procedure starts. There is greater liklihood of this occurring if the spay is performed after 6 months of age.
For male animals that present with the condition "cryptorchidism" at the time of the neuter there will be an additional fee. This is a condition in which one or both testicles fail to move from the abdomen, where they develop before birth, into the scrotum.
We ask that you review the following items:
- I understand that the Healthy Start Package is not the same as pet insurance
- I understand that the Healthy Start Package is for preventative care only. If my pet becomes ill, I am responsible for the costs of the examinations, diagnostic testing, and treatments for my puppy/kitten.
- I understand all the Healthy Start Package charges are non-refundable and the package is non-transferable.
- I understand the deworming medications (pyrantel pamoate) covers the treatment for hookworms and roundworms. If my pet is diagnosed with a different parasite, I am required to pay for the medication to treat parasites that are not hookworms or roundworms.
- I understand that heartworm and flea prevention are not included in the package but are recommended for my pet to receive every month lifelong.
- I understand if I do not schedule my pet's spay/neuter within 18 months of the signing up for the package that additional fees may be incurred because the pet's discounted spay/neuter will expire. Surgeries are schedules are only booked 60 days in advance.
- I understand that Veterinary Medical Center does not perform declaws on felines.
