We are NOT equipped to perform X-rays, procedures under general anesthesia (surgical or dental procecures) or any treatments requiring hospitalization and monitoring (IV fluid administration, intensive care, etc). We have good associations with several area veterinary clinics and can assist you in making arrangements should your pet need surgery or hospitalization; if we determine your animal needs X-rays, we can arrange to transport them to and from a local facility to get this done.

We are not equipped to respond to or manage cases on an emergency basis. Please see “Emergencies” for more information on what to do if you have an emergency.

We do not provide grooming services beyond basic nail trims and anal sac expression, or pet sitting services. There are mobile pet grooming services in the Baton Rouge area that can provide this service for you. Check out our links page for the ones we reccomend.
