First visit

When bringing your pet in for a check-up, remember it may be a little uneasy about new people and animals. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet before coming into the hospital. We suggest pets be placed on a leash or in a pet carrier before entering the waiting room. Your pet and others in the waiting area will appreciate the extra care.

To allow ample time for all patients and surgical procedures we operate primarily by appointments, but will do our best to accommodate unscheduled visits. If you are unable to make an appointment, a phone call to let us know would be appreciated.

We will make every effort to be on time but emergencies may cause an occasional delay. Since it is important to see sick pets quickly, we will work a sick pet into the schedule on the day the call is received.

Drop off service: If an appointment is not convenient for you, we also offer a drop off service. You may leave your pet with us in the morning, go to work or run errands, and pick them up later in the day at no additional charge.

Payment / Fees
It is customary to pay for veterinary services upon completion unless previous arrangements have been made. A deposit is required in certain hospitalized cased. We accept personal checks, MasterCard, VISA, and American Express.

We make every effort to have fair and reasonable fees. Always feel free to ask for an estimate if one is not offered. You are encouraged to discuss charges before services are rendered.

Boarding / Visits
Reservations are recommended for boarding, which we may provide as a service for our clients. For the safety of all pets in our charge, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Animals requiring veterinary attention (such as defleaing, deworming, treatment of illnesses, etc.) will be taken care of at the owner`s expense.

We are proud of our facilities and encourage visits. However we request that visits be at our discretion, as a constant flow of people tends to excite pets in the kennel.

All pets are received and released during normal business hours only. Under certain circumstances other arrangements can be made and an after hours fee will be applied.

Animal medicine has made great strides in recent years and pets are now enjoying much longer and more trouble free lives with the aid of qualified and conscientious health care professionals. We look forward to helping you enjoy the happiness that a healthy pet can provide.
