Appointment Policy

To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time.


For your convenience, "drop-off" appointments are available. A "drop off" means you can bring your pet at the time that works best for you and leave him/her with us for a couple of hours. Usually we will ask you to drop off sometime in the morning so the attending doctor can examine the patient in between appointments or at the time purposely reserved for admitted patients. Once the doctor is done, we will give you a call to go over the diagnosis, give you discharge instructions, and set your pet's pick up time.
 

For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that certain vaccinations, heartworm prevention and intestinal parasite control be up to date, or be brought up to date, when your pet is admitted to our hospital. 

Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We ask that all animals be controlled on a leash or in pet carriers before entering our hospital.

Payment Policy

We require full payment at the time that services are rendered.
