REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES
We breed dogs and cats to preserve a closed, and therefore endangered, gene pool. With each planned breeding of our purebred/purpose-bred dog or cherished feline, we aim to produce a generation of healthier offspring. Whether you need pre-breeding health clearances for both your stud dog and brood bitch, semen cryopreservation, advanced insemination procedures, high risk pregnancy monitoring or DNA testing of neonates, we help you breed for success.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT UPDATES WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE:
1. Your pet's Hills and Purina foods will be moving towards home delivery in the near future. The Hills to Home program and Purina Vet Direct program allows you to order prescription diets as well as over the counter diets online in the comfort of your own home. They are shipped directly from the manufacturer to your home and you will save money due to coupons, auto ship discounts and other promotions that are offered. Please ask our front desk staff on how to sign up!
2. We have some exciting news for our reproductive clients! In an effort to increase and maintain good communication with our repro clients, we will be changing our phone system tree to no longer have the option to go to a repro line. All repro calls will go to the front desk. We have given our receptionists the right tools and resources to be able to triage these calls appropriately. Please be patient with us as we take on this change.
3. We receive a significant amount of outside pharmacy prescription requests on a daily basis. This takes up the time of the technicians and doctors who need to research and submit the approval/denial back to the online pharmacy. In order to compensate our team for their time, we are instituting a Technician Support Services Fee of $5.50. If you would like to avoid this fee, we can fill your prescription here at Slade instead. We also offer several instant rebates/discounts that we can apply to your order. Please be aware that Slade will have its own online pharmacy in the near future since we understand that home delivery is a great convenience.
4. We have made a significant effort to restart and recharge our technician-type appointments on a regular basis in order to accommodate our large numbers of requests for nail trims, vaccine boosters, bloodwork, and more! We will be implementing the Technician Support Services Fee mentioned above to these appointments as well. Please remember that the raising of prices or fees allows us to maintain the quality of the product and the services that we provide.
For over two years, as you are probably aware, we have been experiencing an incredibly heavy case load. We are asking for your patience, understanding and KINDNESS. Thank you for helping us make this transition. We look forward to seeing you!
