If you have an appointment, please read over instructions below:

- Clients are not allowed in the building: We are not allowing clients into the building due to the risk of COVID-19. All communications will be done over the phone and your pet will be borrowed from you for the appointment. There are no exceptions.
✓ Bring a facemask: A mask is required for services when interacting with technicians. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you.
✓ Bring a cellphone: You will need to call the hospital when you arrive in the parking lot; we will take your pet’s history over the phone before the appointment and the doctor will call afterwards with a treatment plan.
✓ Bring a credit or debit card for payment: We will be taking credit/debit cards over the phone for payment of services (although credit/debit cards are preferred for minimized contact, we also accept checks or cash)
✓ Park at the front of the building: for safety reasons and ease of access, please park as close to the front of the building as possible.
✓ Remain in your vehicle: Please do not approach the door or emerge from your vehicle with your pet unless you are instructed to do so; this allows us to avoid crowding around the door and in the parking lot in general.

These protocols model the CDC’s guidelines for COVID-19. We are doing our best efforts to keep our staff, clients, and patients healthy and safe during these uncertain times and we appreciate your cooperation.
