In order to minimize wait time and to alleviate confusion,
here are a few guidelines to follow when scheduling an appointment:
*Appointments can be scheduled Monday through Saturday, and surgery appointments Monday through Friday.
*If you need to cancel your scheduled time for any reason, please contact the office so that we can offer the time to someone else. Please try to give at least 24 hours notice. *If your pet is scheduled for a tech appointment (bordetella, Fecal,nail trim, bath) they will not be seeing a doctor. If you would like to see a doctor, please let us know.
*If your pet is scheduled for a drop-off appointment expect them to stay the day. Our normal drop-off time is between 8-9am. Pick up times vary from patient to patient but are usually between 3 - 5pm. Authorization forms must be sign by the owner for pets scheduled for a drop-off or surgery appointment. Pets may be required to be current on vaccines. If an individual other than the owner is bringing the pet, they MUST be at least 18 years of age and have the owners permission to authorize any suggested procedures and/or treatments.
*Our normal drop off time for surgeries is between 8-9 am. There will be authorization forms that will need to be filled out; so please allow 10-15 minutes for paperwork. Please remember, If your pet is scheduled to have a surgical procedure DO NOT feed them after Midnight the night before.

*Patients that are scheduled for a "Recheck" may be charged for a follow up exam. There is no charge for suture removal.
