For the protection of all people and pets we require that all animals on our property and in our facility be presented on a leash and properly controlled, or in an appropriately sized carrier, to maximize safety and minimize stress to our patients and clients. We make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during each visit, but some may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings, or other pets. And although your pet may be very social, happy to arrive, and excited to interact, other patients may not be potentially leading to unpredictable behavior by one or both. Upon entering our hospital you will be warmly welcomed and checked in. We strive to room each patient into an exam room as efficiently as possible to minimize wait time in our reception area where, for some patients, excitement or stress can start to heighten. For the safety of all animals in our care we require that all core vaccinations be up to date or be brought on each patient.
