We can’t give an accurate estimate without assessing your pet first because some animals have preexisting conditions that affect the price of the spay. Our medical staff can provide an estimate of spay cost during an examination, or by email within 12 months of your last examination. 

We can’t give an accurate estimate without assessing your pet first because some animals have preexisting conditions that affect the price of the neuter. Our medical staff can provide an estimate of neuter cost during an examination, or by email within 12 months of your last examination.

Our most popular service is the BBN (short for bath-brush-nail trim). This service is open Monday to Saturday. Service is requested by appointments. Dogs and cats should arrive by 9 am and will be ready to go home once they are dry. Prices vary by breed, and start at approximately $25.

We also offer nail trims for cats and dogs. These are provided by appointment, and you can choose clipping or grinding.

We are not currently offering hair cut or styling services.

Yes! There are several reasons why we recommend this:

1. Mosquitoes live in homes through the Michigan winter.

2. There is no good way to identify when mosquito bights start for cats and dogs outside the home in the Spring.

3. Heartworm disease is fatal!

4. The monthly prevention is affordable for many – it’s approximately the price of a meal at McDonalds, or an entree at Applebee’s.

5. Our recommended oral heartworm preventive medication also kills intestinal worms.

Testing a blood sample once every 12 months for heartworm is the best way to monitor for this commonplace disease, even when your dog has been given heartworm prevention medication. Consider this; your doctor requests you have your blood tested annually for cholesterol. You may be taking medications to control your cholesterol but your doctor continues to test you to make sure the medications are working. We test dogs once every 12 months for heartworm disease to make sure the heartworm prevention medicine is working too. Why would the medication not be doing it’s job, you ask? Heartworm can breed to become resistant to the medication. This has already occurred in the south-east US. Also, some healthy dogs occasionally vomit and if this happens on the day you give the heartworm prevention medicine and you are unaware, then your dog could be at risk of contracting heartworm disease. 

Yes! Please bring in the stray and we will gladly scan for a microchip. If the pet’s chip number is in our records, we’ll do our best to get the pet back to their owner.

No. Please schedule an appointment for services. 

There are many reasons your pet could be scooting. They many need their anal glands expressed, or have irritation caused by worms or other conditions. Please call the office to schedule an appointment. It will be helpful if you bring a stool sample in at that time. 

Vaccines should start at 6 to 8 weeks of age and be boosted 2 or 3 times, 3 to 4 weeks apart. We offer a discount for puppies under 16 weeks because multiple visits are required. Protection from the first vaccine lasts only a few days so a booster is always required for longer lasting protection. Puppies and kittens require more than one booster because there is interference in the vaccine response from antibodies that came from the mother, and their immune system works differently than mature immune systems. The dog diseases we vaccinate against are Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis, Kennel cough (Bordetella), Rabies, Lyme disease, and Canine influenza. The cat diseases we vaccinate against are Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, Leukemia, and Immunodeficiency.

Although Canine influenza vaccination is recommended, it is not currently required for boarding or day care in our facility.

Yes, we are absolutely taking new clients! Waverly Animal Hospital would love to welcome you and your pets to our practice and kennel. Please call the office and the receptionist will be happy to assist you with scheduling an appointment or reservation. A phone call is more effective for registration than a text or email .

Waverly Animal Hospital has 6 veterinarians (Dr. Jennifer Stuhler, Dr. Julie Hubbard, Dr. Katelyn Hileman, Dr. Elizabeth Gilroy, Dr. Ethan Burk, & Dr. Halley Robson).

We are not currently offering hair cuts or styling, but we have a team of 5 who provide bath, brush, nail trims, and de-shedding services.

Sometimes we offer the first appointment at no charge, to assess the health and well-being of your recently adopted pet. This is a great way for us to meet your new pet. During the appointment we’ll outline your first year of pet ownership, focusing on vaccination & testing and prevention of parasites. Most CAHS pets are in good health and fully immunized at adoption, in which case there is no charge. Occasionally we discover new problems or recommend vaccine boosters. We won’t proceed without your permission, as vaccines, tests, and treatments are not included in this courtesy service.

We require 24 hour notice for appointment cancellations and changes. However, we understand that sometimes unexpected events take precedence over appointments or you might occasionally forget your appointment. That is why our policy is to forgive you the first time this happens (per 12 months). Sadly though, on the second (and subsequent) occurrence, you’ll be charged a missed appointment fee ($52.00). We do this to preserve the availability of our services. Thank you for understanding. 

We understand that sometimes unexpected events make you late. That is why our policy is to have a 10 minute grace period. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your appointment will be rescheduled to another time. 

We require a valid email address and cell phone number. Appointment reminders and time-sensitive notices are sent via these means.

Prescriptions medications are not returnable or refundable. Prescription foods may be returned for refund (and disposal by manufacturer) within 90 days of purchase. Deposit taken at booking will be used toward purchases if the appointment is kept or changed with at least 24 hours notice. Deposit is non-refundable when the appointment is cancelled or changed with less than 24 hours notice or if you do not show for appointment.
