Second Chances Veterinary Care (SCVC) is an INDEPENDENTLY OWNED outpatient surgery, procedural and urgent care veterinary clinic.  Our first mission is to provide no-nonsense veterinary care at affordable prices because pet owners deserve the chance to give their pet the care it needs…

Our second mission is to be a resource for a network of local general, ER, urgent care, and specialty veterinary practices for their clients that cannot afford the treatment plans presented to them. Each practice has its own unique costs of providing services, so understandably each needs to charge accordingly for their time, staff, inventory used, etc. Owners find that the cost of any given treatment plan can vary from one type of practice to another. At the root of our mission is to extend care to more pets in need while working with their family veterinarian.

We can help remove clinic-related barriers inhibiting pets from getting the care they need.  SCVC’s highly innovative practice model is designed to provide a practical SPECTRUM OF CARE by meeting pet owner’s where they are financially.  While we do not extend credit directly through the hospital, we do offer flexible payment options through 3rd party vendors – some requiring no minimum credit score.

To help keep our services, medicines, products and prices affordable we would like to make you aware of the following:

We operate on a technician-driven appointment model, which offers cost savings without compromising care. This means pet parents may not directly see or consult with a doctor during their scheduled appointment time. A technician-driven appointment model allow us to accomplish the following:

• Efficiency: Our model optimizes efficiency, allowing us to provide accessible and affordable care to more pets.
• Skilled Veterinary Staff: Highly trained veterinary staff members gather information provided by the pet parent given before the appointment, confirm additional details once you and your pet arrive, then perform initial evaluations and diagnostics.  All information is then shared with the doctor.
• Doctor Examination: The doctor then conducts a thorough examination based on the information provided asking for additional details if needed.
• Diagnostic & Treatment Plan: A PERSONALIZED diagnostic and treatment plan is developed by the doctor for EVERY PET and communicated to you through the veterinary staff, phone or digital channels.

While our business model is not geared toward general wellness or chronic patient and disease management, we do hold regular wellness clinics as well as vaccine & wellness service appointment availability [vaccinations, deworming, access to full in-house & reference laboratory testing, heartworm & FeLV/FIV testing, flea/tick/heartworm preventative and more] with one of our experienced staff members.
