Helpful answers from our veterinary team

How Can We Help?

Search by a symptom, service, appointment question, hospital policy, or pet care topic.

What if the person I refer has multiple pets?

If your friend or family member has more than one pet, that still counts as one referral since it’s one new client account in our system. However, if they book separate visits for additional pets, we may offer extra rewards at our discretion.

What if I referred someone before, can I get the discount now?

No. The program officially began on November 13, 2025, and only referrals made on or after that date qualify.

How much do I get for referring someone?

Both you and your referral, whether it’s a friend, family member, or coworker, receive $40 off your next visit once they become a new client.

How does my referral make sure I get credit?

You’ll first need to sign up through our online referral page to receive your unique referral link. Share that link with your friend or family member so they can register through it. This is how we track and apply the $40 discount.

Referrals must be completed through the online link. Simply mentioning a name at booking cannot be counted, since the system will only issue credits for referrals created and tracked through your unique link.

When will I receive my $40 discount?

After your referral completes their first paid visit, we’ll automatically apply your credit to your next appointment.

Can I refer more than one person?

Yes. There is no limit. You can refer as many pet owners as you like and earn $40 for each new client.

Does my referral have to be a new client?

Yes. Only new clients who have never visited FurlifeVets before are eligible for the referral offer.

Can I combine my referral discount with other promotions?

Referral credits cannot be combined with other offers or applied to past services.

How long do I have to use my referral credit?

Each $40 credit remains valid for 12 months from the date it is earned.

Do I need an appointment before scheduling an ultrasound?

Yes. We start with a consultation ([show_pricing_item metakey=”our_price” id=”101″]) with one of our doctors to review your pet’s history, symptoms, and any previous test results. From there, we’ll determine if an ultrasound is needed and schedule it with our internal specialist.

My pet has ongoing vomiting or diarrhea but previous tests were normal. Can an ultrasound help?

Yes, in many cases. If blood work and stool tests come back normal but symptoms persist, an ultrasound can help us look deeper at the organs and identify issues that don’t show up on standard tests.

Why is a consult required first before doing a procedure like an ultrasound?

Every case is different. The consult allows our doctor to review your pet’s symptoms, history, and any previous test results to make sure an ultrasound is truly the right next step. It also helps us tailor the imaging to exactly what needs to be evaluated, which leads to more accurate results and avoids unnecessary procedures.

Do you perform ultrasounds in-house?

Yes. Ultrasounds are performed by our internal specialist, so your pet can stay in a familiar, low-stress, Fear Free environment.
