Appointment Policy
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate by appointment only. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time.
New Client Appointment Reservation Policy
Every client and every pet is very important to us. Whether it be a wellness exam, a sick pet appointment, or surgery, we pride ourselves in making time for all our patients. Due to the limited number of appointment hours in a day, the high volume of requests, and the adverse effect that a "no show" has for other clients who need to schedule appointments for their pets, we have implemented this policy.
New Client Reservation Deposit
- New clients are required to pay a $50 reservation deposit at the time of scheduling their first appointment. (Each pet scheduled requires its own reservation deposit.)
- The reservation deposit will be applied toward the first appointment's final bill.
- If rescheduled, the deposit will be applied to the rescheduled reservation.
- The reservation deposit will be forfeited in the occurrence of a "no show" and/or cancellation with less than a 24-hour notice.
Cancellation/ No Show Policy
We require at least 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. After one "No Show" or two "less than 24 hours notice", you will be limited to SAME DAY scheduling only. Same day scheduling means client may call in the morning to check for availability that day. To respect our clients time, running late may result in rescheduling your appointment.
Patient Arrival Policy
For your protection, and that of others, ALL dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled before entering the clinic. ALL cats must be presented in an appropriate cat carrier or on a leash.

For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
