VISITING  THE  CLINIC

When you bring your pet to the clinic, remember he or she may be a little uneasy about new people and the other animals.  We ask that animals be kept on a leash, in a pet carrier, or held in your arms before entering the waiting room. 

On a very nice day in July we had two unusual visitors to the Clinic:

So be prepared for anything...  Your pet and others in the waiting area will appreciate the extra care.  If you do not have a leash with you, the receptionist will be happy to supply one.

If your visit is with a new kitten or puppy, try to bring a fresh stool sample.  If your pet is six years of age or older, we recommend a stool and urine sample be checked yearly.  Ask us for specimen containers.

IF YOUR  PET  IS  HOSPITALIZED

All dogs and cats admitted to the hospital must have current vaccinations including Bordatella (kennel cough) or receive a booster dose upon admission for the health of all our patients and staff.

In most cases we discourage visiting a patient that is hospitalized for routine procedures as it usually leads to excitement, then disappointment for the patient.  However, if your pet is quite ill, we encourage visitation if arranged ahead of time.

Pets hospitalized for the weekend will not be discharged after hours or on Sundays.
