Appointments are highly recommended, this allows us to schedule both your time and our day efficiently. Emergency cases will be seen immediately, which is why appointment delays sometimes occur.
Walk ins are welcome and will be accommodated as time allows, but clients with appointments will take precedent.
We ask, for your protection as well as your pets, that all dogs be on leashes or otherwise confined and that cats be brought in appropriate carriers.
If your pet will be staying with us, either for boarding or medical treatment, we require that all vaccinations be up to date.
For your convenience, and sometimes ours, we accept ‘drop off’ appointments. This is when you leave your pet with us for the day or several hours, after filling out the appropriate forms, so we can exam or treat the pet as the day allows.
