Pet insurance works by reimbursing you for veterinary care for your pet after you pay for the services out-of-pocket:

1. Pay for care:
- Take your pet to the vet and pay for the services.

2. File a claim:
- Submit receipts to your insurance company.

3. Receive reimbursement:
- If approved, you'll receive a percentage of the eligible veterinary bill, minus your deductible.

Pet insurance doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.

START EARLY!!!!

Get pet insurance when your pet is young, before health conditions develop that could be considered pre-existing.

Pet insurance can help with the cost of diagnosing, treating, and managing your pet's illness or injury.

And most importantly, make sure your vet knows about your pet insurance coverage so they can write office notes on your pet's receipt!

Most car and home insurance companies offer pet insurance, so talk to your insurance company about what they offer for your pets!

And YES, there is pet insurance coverage for exotic pets! 🐰

Our prices are set to rise in January 2025.

As much as we hate increasing prices, we are trying to remain as affordable as possible while promoting overall health and wellness for your pets!

Unfortunately there is no way to avoid price increases as our suppliers are also small, local businesses trying to survive.

There are less than 5 veterinarians in Centre County that are still locally owned... The rest have been bought out by corporate companies.

We are incredibly grateful for our loyal clients who are understanding as we upgrade and expand our business practices.

As always, thank you for supporting local.

Have you seen a cat that appears to have thumbs?

This is called "polydactyl".

Polydactyl cats have more than the usual number of toes on one or more of their paws. The word "polydactyl" comes from the Greek words poly, meaning many, and daktylos, meaning digits.

Regular nail trimming is especially important in polydactyl cats to prevent overgrowth and potential injury!

Chameleons, bearded dragons, and some other reptiles change color for a variety of reasons.

It could be from their mood, if they're too cold, or even when they're sick.

In this baby chameleon's case, it's because he is mad that he had to get a shot! 💉

One of Dr. Cruden's favorite things are exotics! Especially playing with the ones who allow it!

Featuring Dr. Cruden (who doesn't like pictures) and a newly rescued green wing macaw that came in to be tested for the common avian diseases before joining an aviary!

Little kitten taking a nap while his mommy gets spayed! 💤

We are one of the clinics in the area that will spay a female cat while they are nursing (because cats can get pregnant the day after giving birth)!

You just have to bring the babies along to the appointment! 🐈😸

Beginning November 1st, 2024, we will no longer be accepting personal checks.

Unfortunately, we are having too many issues with checks bouncing and never receiving payment for services provided.

We do not have the staffing or time to be harassing clients for payments. Payments are due at the time that services are rendered. We do not accept payment plans.

Any client with an outstanding balance will receive a $25 late fee at the beginning of each month until payments are made.

Being a small business, we are already struggling with keeping up with the corporate operations around us.

Payment Methods Accepted: Cash, Credit, Debit, Care Credit, Square, Money Orders, and Apple Pay.

As always, thank you for supporting local!

Support a local organization while getting your pets vaccines up to date!

Don't forget a microchip while you're there!

And ALWAYS get paperwork for your pet's records, otherwise it never happened!

Remember, rabies vaccines are required by law for both dogs & cats. Fines start at $300/day!

Current client? Please email copies of your pet's records to us at [email protected] so we can help you keep track of your pets medical records!

Mark your calendars! PAWS will be hosting a walk-in vaccine and microchip clinic at our shelter on Saturday, October 19, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

This is a great and low-cost way to update your pet's vaccinations. If you would like a 3-year rabies vaccine, you must bring proof of your last rabies vaccination.

Please note that this clinic is first-come, first-serve. We apologize in advance for any wait due to the high-volume expected.

Heartworms are in Pennsylvania!

Heartworms are caused by infected mosquitoes! 🦟 Heartworms in dogs is a serious, life threatening disease but is treatable if caught early.

Most Common Signs of Heartworms:
- Coughing
- Weight Loss
- Swollen Belly
- Breathing difficulties

Our veterinarian recommends Interceptor Plus for monthly, year round prevention of heartworm disease, as well as routine deworming!

Interceptor Plus requires yearly heartworm screening tests to use.

1 Year of Interceptor Plus = ~ $120
6 months of Heartworm Treatment = ~ $600+

Prevention is cheaper than treatment!

Purchase your pet's prevention from our office!

(We do not approve online purchases as there's no guarantee these items came from the supplier).

Our favorite thing is to support other local businesses!

If you have business cards to spare, please add them to our business card holders so we can continue to support local!

Did you know that oral flea/tick prevention is the best type of prevention to use? Our favorite is Bravecto!

Bravecto is a 3 month oral flea & tick prevention that we carry in our office!

Flea/tick collars - #1 mistake pet parents make is that the collar is not tight enough. The collars are dependent on the dog's body heat to melt the medication - this means the collar needs to be skin tight in order to work. Most pet parents think the collar is choking them, therefore leaving them too loose. Collars also can be broken off and easily lost.

Topical medication can be washed off or are applied incorrectly.

Oral flea/tick prevention is great because it can conveniently be broken into your dogs food for easy consumption or your dog enjoys a special treat! They're 99% effective against killing fleas as you know your pet actually consumed the medication!

The average price of Bravecto for Dogs is $75 per pill, but $300 a year in prevention is much cheaper than treatment if your dog ends up with Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, or ehrlichiosis!

Altering your pet has more benefits than just preventing reproducing.

Did you know that female animal can develop a deadly uterine infection called pyometra?

Pyometra is a serious and life-threatening infection of the uterus that causes it to fill with bacteria and pus.

Most pet parents are unable to afford the cost, but it's cheaper than an emergency vet bill or a lawsuit (and saves you money in the long run).

90% of pets are rehomed due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented.

Spaying/neutering saves lives!

06/14/2024

We have a couple of openings for spay/neuters and regular appointments with our vet at the end of this month (June).

Call to schedule an appointment!
