Lebanon Small Animal Clinic Frequently Asked Questions for Our Veterinarians

Will you offer emergency service after hours and on holidays?

Call the office and you will receive the number of the doctor on call. The doctor will offer advice and/or meet you at the clinic if needed. Be aware that some instances do require intensive care or immediate surgery and may need to be referred to a 24 hour emergency clinic. This service is available to LSAC and LEC (Lebanon Equine Clinic) clients only.

Will you be capable of doing surgery?

We have a full surgical suite and will be performing numerous surgeries including orthopedic, soft tissue, spay, castrations and many more.

How often does my pet need a dental?

Every animal varies. Some animals need it yearly and others never have a need. A physical examination will allow the doctors to assess your pets teeth and give you recommendations.

Why is a physical exam required?

Physical examinations may detect certain medical problems that you may be unable to see or recognize. Early detection may save healthcare cost and prevent your pet from becoming ill.

Will you have a boarding facility?

No. Our hospital is currently reserved for hospitalized cases only.

Are you able to do house calls?

Yes. Scheduling is required in advance and there will be an additional travel charge depending on location.

Do you see exotics?

How often does my dog need his anal glands expressed?

Every dog varies and some dogs never require manual expression. It is not necessary to see a doctor for this service and may be performed by a technician or assistant.

Do you accept pet insurance?

Yes. Pet insurance is becoming more affordable with better coverage. Unlike human insurance companies, there is not a specific “network” in which you are limited to certain veterinarians. However, this does mean that you will pay for services and the company will reimburse you according to your policy. There are numerous available but VPI, Petfirst, and Pet Best are a few. Please feel free to ask us questions.
