FAQ
What should I do in a pet emergency after hours in Middle Georgia?
Middle Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center in Warner Robins (4798 Russell Pkwy) operates after-hours emergency care: Monday through Thursday 6pm to 8am, and 24 hours on Friday through Sunday. Phone: (478) 997-6677. Animal Urgent Care on Watson Boulevard in Warner Robins handles non-life-threatening urgent situations on a walk-in basis. For serious emergencies (hit by car, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, seizures), go directly to the emergency center.
How often should my pet see the vet?
Puppies and kittens need multiple visits in their first year for vaccinations and wellness checks. Adult pets (1 to 7 years) should see the vet at least once a year for a wellness exam and vaccinations. Senior pets (7+ years for dogs, 10+ for cats) benefit from twice-yearly visits since age-related conditions develop more quickly. Your vet may recommend a different schedule based on your pet’s breed and health conditions.
How much does a vet visit cost in Middle Georgia?
A basic wellness exam typically runs $45 to $75. Vaccinations add $20 to $40 per vaccine. Dental cleanings under anesthesia range from $200 to $500. Spay/neuter surgery ranges from $150 to $400 depending on the animal’s size and the practice. Emergency visits at the Middle Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center start around $100 to $150 for the exam fee, plus treatment costs. Pet insurance is increasingly popular and can offset unexpected costs.
