F A Q . . .

Can anyone bring a pet to the veterinary treatment facility for treatment?

Only animals owned by personnel authorized DoD medical care may be examined, immunized and treated for prevention of disease at veterinary treatment facilities.

Are "use fees" authorized charges?

IAW AFI 48-131, paragraph 6-1.b (4), the Army prohibits charging professional, administrative, sick call, office visit or similar fees over and above the statutory $2.00 user fee. Customers may not be charged for just bringing the pet through the door. However, appropriate fees for medication, shots, etc. are permitted.

Does the Veterinary treatment facility provide pet neutering and spaying and other surgeries?

Those veterinary procedures, commonly recognized by the profession as cosmetic or elective surgery, will not be performed in the United States or U.S. Territories. Army and NAF veterinarians may only perform surgery to prevent undue suffering or to save the life or limb of animals.
