kitty1.png Appointments

Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us or come to the hospital immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a staff member can advise you on your particular emergency.

Emergency & Urgent Care

We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 6 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. Usually an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several technicians working together to save a pet's life. Emergencies can be things such a snail bait poisoning, hit by car, and chocolate ingestion. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency.

We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening, but you feel your pet needs to be seen before you are able to get an appointment. Our veterinarians will work to "squeeze" you in between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on how long you may have to wait in order to be seen.

Pharmacy

Our clinic offers a full in-house pharmacy for all your pets needs.We are an authorized seller of the pharmacy products that we dispense, which means that the manufacturers of these drugs will stand behind their products if there are any problems. We obtain our products either directly from the manufacturers or from their authorized distrubutors, usually by overnight shipment, so the quality of these medications is assured.

"Internet pharmacies," "800 number pharmacies," and similar businesses are not authorized resellers of the pharmaceuticals they dispense.  These businesses obtain product by purchasing it from  unauthorized sources.  Many times the products they are selling are not manufactured in the USA, counterfeit, expired, or damaged medications.  Pharmaceutical manufacturers will not guarantee their products if they are not purchased from an authorized seller (i.e. your veterinary clinic), so if any problems develop, the pet owner is "on their own."  We highly discourage owners from obtaining medications from online sources due to the dangers they pose to their dogs and cats.

We appreciate your letting us be a part of your pet's health care team.
