ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Witnessed cremations are available should you prefer to attend and arrangements will be made with the crematory.

INITIAL VISIT ($450)

During this visit, we will review and discuss your pet’s medical history, perform a complete physical examination, observe your pet in their home environment, discuss goals and expectations, and answer any specific questions you may have regarding your pet’s health. Upon completion of our visit a plan to address your pet’s specific needs will be presented. Please understand that Dr. Winnick does not provide testing or diagnostics. Should those services be desired you will need to seek the guidance of your primary care veterinarian.

Please allow at least two hours for the initial visit. The entire two hour period may not be necessary; however, it is important we not feel rushed during our discussion and assessment.

The initial visit will include, as appropriate, follow-up communication via email, video, or phone for one month. After this time, if appropriate for your pet’s situation, we will schedule a follow-up visit to continue on with care for your pet.

Any supplies or medications will be charged separately.

FOLLOW-UP VISIT ($95 – $185)

Follow up visits may be needed if you are observing any changes with your pet or their response to any prescribed medications.

Any concerns or questions you may have. You may simply need reassurance that your pet is continuing to experience a good quality of life.

Whatever the need may be, rest assured I am available to help you through this difficult time either through in-home visits, phone consultation or email.

This type of visit is valuable for families who simply need time and space to address the current quality of life concerns. We will discuss the expected changes that may occur due to your pet’s condition/illness and how to monitor by providing you tools to help arrive more clearly at an end of life decision. We will discuss how the end-of-life process occurs and any questions or concerns you may have related to this topic. We will not discuss in depth your pet’s current medical plan or recommend any adjustments to that. If you would prefer this is discussed, we should instead schedule a palliative, hospice care, and pain management visit.

QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT BRIEF/VIRTUAL  ($75) 

This consultation is helpful for families that need a quick response and would like to have support or confirmation during their decision making process. Dr. Winnick will send her response to you via email typically in 24-48 hours after all the requested videos and information have been received. The consultation is via email and video only. The details will be discussed with you further at the time of scheduling.

**Please note that The American Veterinary Medical Association and the California Board of Veterinary Medicine require a physical examination for a veterinarian to diagnose and treat a medical condition and/or to prescribe medications. Due to this, Dr. Winnick cannot prescribe any medication, or recommend changes to your pet’s medical plan without an in person physical examination.

While we do understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable, short notice cancellation limits our ability to help another family that is needing help during that scheduled time. When possible, please let us know of any changes with 24-hour notice. Because of travel and traffic in our area, if a doctor arrives or a cancellation request is less than 2 hours before the scheduled time we kindly reserve the right to charge the full cost of the visit ($450). If the cancellation is due to the natural death of your pet this fee will not be applied.

Please understand that this fee system is necessary for Peaceful Pathways to continue providing our excellent and reliable care.

**Pending the circumstances of your request, there may be additional details discussed during scheduling. If you are scheduling five or more days in advance, please ask us about our cancellation policy.

We accept cash, check (preferred method and can be prepared ahead to Peaceful Pathways) or major credit card.
