Frequently Asked Questions

I am looking for a vet.  Can you help? Unfortunately, we are permanently closing at the end of 2025.  We are no longer accepting new patients.  

What if I have an emergency?  WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU HAVE AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH A VET IN TOWN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.  It can be difficult to get in even on emergency if they have not seen your pet before.  Animal Urgent Care in Kona may be able to help.  Call 808-895-8676 for availability.

I'm travelling with my pet, do you do travel documents? Yes.  We are able to do rabies vaccinations, send in rabies titers, and do health certificates for travel to the U.S. mainland.  We do not do direct airport release from the Kona airport.  We do not offer travel services outside of the United States.

How do I get my pet's records?  In most cases, your new vet will contact us for records prior to your first appointment there.  If you have kept your "yellow sheet" receipts from your visits, you already have copies of your records. Those are an exact copy of what I have on file for your pet.  If your pet has had lab work done, those results will be available by request via email.  Text or email us for records requests.

Need a vet for goats?  Horses? Pigs?   Ainahou Animal Hospital in Kamuela sees farm animals.  Call 989-6149

Do you take credit cards?  Yes.  Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.  Cash and valid local check are also accepted.
