In order to continue providing the highest quality care and attention to our current patients and their families, we will be temporarily pausing the acceptance of new clients.

This decision was not made lightly, but it allows our team to ensure our existing clients receive the compassionate, thorough care they’ve come to expect from us.

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. We will let you know as soon as we are able to welcome new clients again!

Thank you for being part of the Blue Hen Veterinary family!
