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. We do try to accomodate walk-ins but there may be a short wait.
For your convenience, drop-off' appointments are available. A 'drop off' means you could bring your pet at the time that works best for you and leave him/her with us for a couple of hours or the full day. Usually we will ask you to drop off' sometime in the morning so our doctors can examine the patient in between appointments or at the time purposely reserved for admitted patients. Once the doctor is done, he or she will give you a call to go over the diagnosis and to give you discharge instructions.
For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. 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 require that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
All appointments/reservations must be confirmed or changed at least 24 hours in advance. Boarding reservations must be confirmed 7 days in advance for holidays and have a credit card on file. Cancellation fees ($25 fee per appointment/groom or the cost of one night's stay for each reservation) will be charged for missed appointments and late cancellations.
Payment Policy
We require full payment at the time that services are rendered. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Debit cards and cash. If your pet develops a serious health problem or injury, we offer an interest free financing plan from CareCredit. Our staff can assist you with the application process.
