Answers to Common Questions
We know pet care comes with lots of questions. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common things pet families ask us. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, our team is always happy to help.
Do I need an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?
Appointments are recommended so we can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Please call our Baltimore clinic to request an appointment and speak with a member of our team.
What should I bring to my pet’s first visit?
If you have any previous medical records, vaccination history, or medication information, please bring those with you. If not, don’t worry—we’ll work with the information you have and take time to learn about your pet.
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Most pets benefit from a wellness exam at least once a year. Senior pets or those with ongoing medical conditions may need more frequent visits. Your veterinarian will help determine the right schedule for your pet. Learn more about our wellness exams.
Do you offer care for both dogs and cats?
Yes. The Village Vet provides veterinary care for both dogs and cats, with services tailored to each pet’s individual needs and life stage.
What happens if my pet needs surgery or additional testing?
If surgery or diagnostic testing is recommended, our team will explain the procedure, answer your questions, and review next steps so you can make informed decisions. We believe in clear communication and compassionate guidance at every stage of care.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours care?
The Village Vet does not provide after-hours emergency services. If your pet needs urgent care outside of our regular business hours, we can help guide you to a trusted local emergency veterinary hospital. Find recommended after-hours veterinary care on our Emergency Services page.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payment is due at the time services are provided. We accept cash, debit cards, and major credit cards. If you have questions about payment, please contact our team before your visit. Learn more about our Payment Options.
How do I request a refill for my pet’s medication?
Refill requests can be submitted through our approved ordering process or by contacting our clinic directly during business hours. Our team will review all requests to ensure medications remain appropriate for your pet.
