Pre-Appointment Questionnaire and Mask Policy
Thank you for choosing us for your pet's care. We currently provide both curbside and in-person pet care for your furry friend. If you choose to be in-person for your pet's visit,we recommend well-fitted masks to be worn in our hospital. Thank you!
If your pet has an upcoming doctor / veterinary appointment - please complete our pre-appointment questionnaire below. This will help ensure we answer all your questions and give you the best care possible! This form is only for doctor visits/examinations. If your pet is visiting us for a technician appointment or any other service, you do not have to fill out this form. Please follow the link below to complete, thank you!
Phased Opening Plan
Beginning 6/21/2021
Starting the third week of June, we will begin allowing pet parents back into our building for veterinary appointments only. You will still have the option of curbside care for these appointments and in-person care will only be available if exam rooms are available. We are taking all necessary precautions to ensure both your safety as well as our own during this transition. It has been a long road and we are excited to see your faces again in our hospital. Here are a few things to remember with our plan:
- First, our front door is still going to remain locked. We need to control the flow of people in and out of our building so when you arrive, please call our office to let us know you are here.
- We are only allowing 2 people in the building for in-person veterinary appointments only at this time. This will help reduce crowding in our examination rooms.
- Pets need to be secured with a leash (no flexi-leads) or cats in a carrier for their safety.
- We recommend well-fitted masks to be worn inside our hospital. Thank you!
- Although we are allowing people back into the building, our workflow still will be different. Due to our small exam room sizes, some parts of your pet's care may still be in our treatment area to minimize the number of people in examination rooms. Don't worry, we will take just as good care as your pet as we have all last year and years prior!
- Certain services and transactions will remain curbside. At this time only medical appointments with a doctor will have the option of in-person care as long as an examination room is available.
- We will be sanitizing between all appointments so there is a chance that an examination room may not be available. Therefore, even if you request in-person care we may not be able to accommodate your request. Please understand we are doing our best to keep everyone safe and that we are doing everything we can to meet up to your expectations.
- As always, we promise to deliver the same high quality loving care for your pet, regardless of where that care is delivered.
What to do next? As a part of this transition we are introducing a Pre-Appointment Questionnaire. This will help reduce time spent taking your pet's history and help reduce the time spent in our hospital. Please take the time to complete this form in advance of your pet's appointment:
