The year, season by season

A Flagstaff almanac for dogs and cats

Nothing about pet care here is one-size-fits-all. Snow, thaw, monsoon and the long gold of autumn each ask something different of a dog or a cat — so we plan the year the way the weather arrives.

Dec – Feb

Winter

Urgent care

Ice on the sidewalk, snow packed into paws, long evenings indoors. When something goes wrong in the cold, we keep room in the day for the things that can't wait.

Mar – May

Spring

Vaccines

The thaw opens the trails again — and the places where dogs meet other dogs. Spring is the right moment to get ahead of the season rather than catch up to it.

Jun – Aug

Summer

Dental care

Monsoon afternoons mean more hours inside. A good stretch of the year to catch up on the quiet things — teeth, gums, and breath that's been telling you something.

Sep – Nov

Fall

Wellness exams

Before the first hard freeze, a head-to-tail check sets the baseline for the year ahead — weight, coat, joints, heart, and the small changes worth noticing early.

What we do

Care that keeps pace with the year

Five things, done properly, for dogs and cats in Flagstaff. Whether it's a scheduled visit or a sudden one, the same hands see it through.

Wellness exams start with the same question every time: what's changed since last year?
  1. 01

    Wellness exams

    A full nose-to-tail check — weight, coat, eyes, ears, heart and joints — with notes we keep year over year so trends are easy to see.

  2. 02

    Vaccines

    Core and lifestyle vaccines, timed around the season your pet is actually out and about, and around the other animals they'll meet.

  3. 03

    Dental care

    Cleaning, polishing and a careful look below the gumline — because most pets are far better at hiding mouth pain than we are at spotting it.

  4. 04

    Surgery

    Routine and unexpected procedures, with a quiet recovery plan and plain-language instructions for the days that follow.

  5. 05

    Urgent care

    For the sudden things. We keep same-day room in the schedule for dogs and cats who really can't wait for next week.

Why the wheel works here

Four seasons, one high-country town.

Flagstaff doesn't do mild. Snow, thaw, monsoon and the long gold of autumn all land inside a single year, and each one asks something different of a dog or a cat.

Winter in the pines: the season that keeps us ready for the unexpected.

Our calendar is built around that rhythm. Vaccines land before the trails get busy. Dental work lands in the slow indoor weeks. Wellness exams land before the cold settles in. And urgent care is always on the board, because the season doesn't check with us first.

Start with a season.

Tell us a little about your pet and what you've noticed. We'll follow up to find a time that fits — for a routine visit or something more urgent.

A request isn't a confirmed booking — we'll follow up to find a time that works.
