Our dental cleaning services are designed to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, ensuring a lifetime of good oral hygiene. Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing dental disease and maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. By addressing dental issues early, we can help prevent pain, infection, and other serious health problems down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your Spencer clinic an emergency vet?
No, and the difference matters. Urgent care is for problems that need attention today but aren’t life-threatening, such as vomiting, diarrhea, limping, ear or eye infections, skin flare-ups or minor wounds, depending on their severity. We offer same-day urgent care in Spencer during our open hours, subject to availability. We don’t provide emergency care. If your pet has collapsed, is struggling to breathe, is bleeding heavily, or has been hit by a car, go straight to the nearest emergency animal hospital. Not sure which you’re dealing with? Call us at 508-885-4848 and we’ll help you work it out.
What should I do if my pet needs help when your Spencer clinic is closed?
We’re open Monday to Friday and closed on weekends, with a later start and an 8:00pm finish on Wednesdays and a 3:00pm close on Fridays. Outside our opening hours, anything that can’t wait until we reopen is best handled by a 24-hour emergency animal hospital, where a team is on hand through the night. It’s worth finding your closest one now and saving the number in your phone. That’s five minutes much better spent on a calm evening than in a panic. For anything that can safely wait, call 508-885-4848 when we open and we’ll fit you in as soon as we can.
My pet gets scared at the vet. How does your team handle that?
Plenty of pets find the vet stressful, and we plan around it rather than pushing through it. Our Spencer team uses low-stress handling, pheromone diffusers and shorter waits, and we move at your pet’s pace. Tell us your pet is anxious when you book so we can set the visit up properly, and ask about a quieter time of day. We also offer Happy Visits: short, no-pressure trips to the hospital that help your pet build positive associations with our team. Get in touch at 508-885-4848 to learn more about availability and how they work.
What payment methods does your vet clinic take, and can I spread the cost?
We take major credit cards, including Visa and Mastercard, at the time of service. Many of our hospitals also offer payment plans through CareCredit or ScratchPay, which let you spread a larger bill over time. Call our Spencer team at 508-885-4848 before your visit if you’d like to know what’s available here. We’d much rather talk it through up front than surprise you at checkout.
How do I refill my pet's prescription in Spencer?
We keep an in-house pharmacy at our Spencer hospital, so most prescriptions can be filled while you’re here. You can also order refills through our online pharmacy or the Pet Portal and have them delivered. Allow a few business days for anything that needs a vet’s approval, and don’t wait for the last tablet. Order while you still have about a week left, or call 508-885-4848.
Why does my pet need anesthesia for a dental cleaning?
Most dental disease sits below the gumline, where nobody can see or reach it while a pet is awake. Anesthesia lets us take dental X-rays, clean under the gums and treat painful teeth properly, and it means your pet isn’t frightened or held still for something uncomfortable. Our Spencer team will talk you through the plan and your pet’s health well before the day.
What should I bring to my first visit at your Spencer vet clinic?
Any medical records and vaccine history from your previous vet, a list of medications or supplements your pet takes, and the name of the food they eat. If you’re coming in about a specific problem, a short phone video of what you’re seeing at home is genuinely useful. A limp or a cough has a habit of vanishing the moment you walk through a vet’s door. Cats travel best in a carrier, dogs on a short leash. You’ll find us on Main Street.
Will your team tell me what a visit costs before you go ahead?
Yes. Our Spencer team will talk through what we’re recommending, why it matters and what it costs before we do it, so you can make the call that’s right for your pet and your budget. Where there’s more than one sensible option, we’ll lay them out. If cost is on your mind, say so when you call 508-885-4848. It helps us give you better advice, not worse care.
How often should my pet see a vet?
Most healthy adult dogs and cats should be seen once a year. Puppies and kittens come in more often through their first few months for vaccines and growth checks. Pets over about seven usually do better with twice-yearly visits, because problems like kidney disease and arthritis build quietly and are far easier to manage when caught early. Pets are experts at hiding illness, so regular exams with Dr. Fagerquist or Dr. Roos at our Spencer hospital are often how we find what you can’t see.
Why would your vets recommend blood work if my pet seems healthy?
Because a pet can lose a lot of kidney or liver function before you’d notice anything at home, and because knowing what normal looks like for your pet makes it far easier to spot when something shifts. Blood work isn’t compulsory. At our Spencer hospital, Dr. Fagerquist and Dr. Roos will explain what a test would tell us and what we’d do with the answer, and you’re free to say no or wait.
Do you have an offer for new clients?
Yes. New clients get $25 off their first visit to our Spencer hospital. Call 508-885-4848 to book your first appointment, and our team can tell you more.
