Appointment Policy

To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate only by appointment.

Because we are an animal hospital, emergencies do occur. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. If you have an emergency please call us so that we may be prepared for your arrival. In an emergency situation, every minute could count; therefore the more prepared we are, the better we can serve your pet’s needs. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time.

Patient Arrival Policy

For the safety of our clients, staff, and other patients please bring pets into the lobby on leashes or in appropriate carriers. If you do not have a leash for your pet please feel free to ask for one. On arrival, please check in with the front desk personnel so that they may assist you and your pet's needs promptly.
