Pet Meds Administration

Tails of the City understands how difficult it is to travel and have to leave your pet home alone. How much more difficult is it to leave your pet when (s)he requires medication or is ill? Many pet owners might delay or completely forego travel plans for fear that their pet will not receive the medication (s)he needs to maintain wellness or become well.

As pet owners ourselves, uniquely specializing in complicated home pet med administration, we have staff experienced in medicating pets. Whereas other pet care providers are not only unskilled but are downright squeamish about injecting a diabetic cat, we are not because we understand that with patience and love, pets can get the medication they need in order to thrive and live well. Don't compromise the health and overall well-being of your pet by ensuring that your pet care provider has the necessary qualifications to medicate your pet. This kind of matter can't be left up to chance.

Rates

  • SIMPLE PILL, LIQUID OR OINTMENT MEDS: Included in regular service charge
  • When administering oral or topical medications, there is no additional charge UNLESS your pet has a tendency to hide or run from the sitter. If it takes longer than the agreed upon visit time to medicate your pet, we will charge an additional fee.
  • INSULIN INJECTIONS: Additional charge of $5 per shot
  • TUBE FEEDING: Clients will be charged an additional fee based on understanding of pet care needs.
  • SUBCUTANEOUS FLUID TREATMENTS: $35 per treatment

Whereas most pet care providers are not, Tails of the City is fully insured to perform these procedures. Always ensure that your pet care provider is properly insured and that their insurance covers your specialized medical pet needs.

** A one time $25 registration fee will be charged for the pre-service interview.
