How much do your services cost?
We offer a wide range of Veterinary services and our prices can vary from item to item. Please take a look under Veterinary Services link for a schedule of fees.
Do you offer payment plans?
We do not currently offer payment plans. We at the Bend Veterinary Clinic are dedicated to making the care of your loved one as cost effective as possible. Care Credit is available and has replaced our open-billing policy. For more information on Care Credit please check out the link on the right.
What do you recommend for fleas and ticks?
For dogs and cats that have external parasites we recommend Vetcra 3D. This is a topical liquid treatment that an owner can apply to the “scruff” area of their pet’s back. We can sell this to you over the counter according to the weight of your animal.
Why does my dog need Heartworm testing?
To prescribe a Heartworm preventative medication it is imperative that we first do a Heartworm test to make sure that your pet does not have Heartworms. It can be fatal to an animal if they were to take a heartworm preventative and had heartworms.
Can I get my dog licensed at your clinic?
You can get a Rabies vaccine done at our clinic which is the first step to licensing your dog. Deschutes County runs the licensing program and to receive a license through the County you will need a current Rabies vaccine. For more information on dog licensing please visit: Deschutes County Website
How long does it take to get an appointment?
We can often schedule you and your pet an appointment the same day or next day to come in for a visit. Sometimes we will have to schedule a visit a few days out. If you are coming in for a routine surgery, we can often schedule you the same week or the following week for the procedure. Please call us at (541) 382-0741 to schedule an appointment.
How do I know if my pet has worms?
The best way to determine if a pet has internal parasites is to bring in a stool sample that we can send off to our lab. We normally get results back the following day and we can let you know if your pet has any parasites. We can then prescribe a deworming medication to resolve the problem.
What shots does my pet need?
Puppies and kittens normally need a series or course of vaccines when they are young to help build up their immunities. They normally need three sets of shots given over a three month period. After that they need vaccinations on a yearly or three year basis (depending on the duration of the particular vaccine).
If you have vaccine records from another clinic, shelter or breeder we will be happy to help determine what you will need and when you will need it. We can even send you reminders when your pet is due for vaccines or exams. Please call us for more information at (541) 382-0741.
Can you just prescribe something for my pet if I describe the symptoms?
Any animal that needs a medication has to be seen by a doctor and diagnosed before the doctor can legally prescribe any medication. In turn, an animal will need to be seen by one of our doctors before we can send them home with any medication.
