FDV provides free recheck appointments. If any additional medications or services are recommended, there will be an additional cost.
Since FDV is mobile, rechecks may not be able to be provided in an urgent/emergent manner.
You are responsible for traveling to FDV's location for the recheck.
There is a list of urgent/ER vets under the "More" tab on the main menu to use if needed outside of our normal hours or in cases of emergency.
