OUR CLINIC POLICIES

VETERINARY APPOINTMENTS

We see our first appointments at 8:00 am Monday through Saturday. We do not see small animal appointments from 12:00 noon until 2:00 pm, so that our staff can eat lunch and treat drop-off appointments.

We require appointments. We do accept walk-ins, but your pet will have to wait to see a doctor until they can be worked into our scheduled appointments. We encourage you to call ahead as we may be in surgery or seeing previously-scheduled patients and your wait could be longer than you anticipate. We have arranged our hours to make it as convenient as possible for you to bring your pet in for routine and preventative check-ups. We try to schedule appointments so you have plenty of time for examinations and your questions. Sometimes emergencies can put us behind, so we hope you’ll understand should an emergency interrupt or delay your appointment.

Scheduled small animal surgeries are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings.

DROP OFF APPOINTMENTS

We are very aware that today, more than ever, people have busy schedules. For that reason, we offer drop-off appointments and services. Usually, drop off of your pet is in the morning between 7:30 am – 8:00 am for any of the services we provide.  You can return to pick up your pet by 5:00 pm, unless otherwise arranged with our staff. Do not plan to pick up your pet unless you have talked to our staff about your pet’s situation. A day hospitalization may be charged.  Please call our office for more information on a drop off appointment.

UPON ARRIVAL

For the safety and well-being of our patients, we require that all pets are kept on a leash or physically restrained while in the waiting room. We recommend a cat carrier for our feline friends. All pets admitted to the hospital should be current on their vaccinations.

If you have a dog that doesn’t play well with others, please come inside and talk with our reception staff prior to bringing your dog into the clinic, so that we can have a room ready for you to bring the dog into.

For the health of other patients, we ask clients with a pet who is very ill and maybe contagious to other pets to let the front staff know that you are waiting in the car or parking lot. You can either call from your cell phone or tap on the front window and our staff will be out to assist you shortly.

PAYMENT

We make every effort and are proud to deliver the best veterinary care possible. We accept cash, personal checks, debit card, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Care Credit, and money orders at time of service. We also do not have a pin machine to run debit cards, but have found that they generally run as credit. Payment is expected at time of service.
