Technician Visit

Technician Visit$20

A tech appointment is appointment time that has been set aside for a technician or assistant to administer vaccines, express anal glands, obtain blood samples, or perform xrays under the direction of a veterinarian. This allows a patient to receive necessary care and follow up monitoring on a timely basis. A patient must have an up-to-date annual exam (aka a valid Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship) at Southpaw Vets for a technician visit. A VCPR is legally required to receive care by a veterinarian or veterinary clinic.

AVERAGE COST OF CARE PER VISIT

Plan ahead, no surprises.

*Please note these are just average visit costs. They are to help you plan for your pet's care, but are not definitive. A plan for your pet will be created by you and your veterinarian. All visits will receive an estimate prior to rendering service.*
