FAQ
Common questions
Do you offer emergency care or surgery?
No. Inlet Veterinary Care is a non-emergency, non-surgical practice. If your pet needs any of these services, we'll refer you to a full-service animal hospital:
- X-rays
- Spays and neuters
- Dental cleaning procedures
- Other procedures that require anesthesia
For a pet emergency, go to the nearest emergency hospital.
What happens at an end-of-life visit?
We can meet you at the clinic or come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable. The veterinarian gives a sedative first so your pet is calm and relaxed, and you can stay as long as you'd like before and after. For aftercare, you can choose private cremation with ashes returned to you, or communal cremation. Cremation is handled by Mercy and Grace Cremation Services. We take care of transport. A paw-print or clay keepsake is included, and other keepsakes can be added.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Past medical and vaccine records, a list of current medications and food, and a fresh stool sample if you can. For clinic visits, dogs should be on a leash and cats in a carrier. For home visits, have your pet anywhere they're comfortable and accessible, and have any records ready to hand us.
Are you a mobile vet?
Yes. Along with our Myrtle Beach clinic, we offer in-home visits for dogs and cats across Horry and Georgetown counties. Every service we provide at the clinic is also available in your home.
Are you an animal hospital?
We're a veterinary clinic in Myrtle Beach, not a full-service animal hospital. We provide wellness, diagnostic and end-of-life care for dogs and cats at our clinic or in your home. For surgery and emergencies, we refer you to trusted full-service animal hospitals.
What kinds of pets do you see?
We see dogs and cats. For other kinds of pets, we're happy to refer you to a veterinarian who specializes in their care.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, all major credit and debit cards, and CareCredit. Payment is due at the time of service. CareCredit is a health care credit card you can use for your pet's veterinary care. It offers payment plans and special financing on qualifying purchases, subject to credit approval. You can learn more and apply at carecredit.com.
