Hospital Policies
Appointment Policy
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment. 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.
- For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date and that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room. 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.
Please consider scheduling your appointment via phone, email or through the Vet Portal.
Prescription Policy
Please allow 48 hours for your prescription diet, medication, and/or supplement to be refilled. Please consider ordering your prescription via phone or our online pharmacy. You will be contacted via phone when your pet’s prescription is ready for pick-up at our front desk. If you are unable to pick-up your pet’s supplies during our hours of business, please ask our receptionists about after hours pick-up options.
Payment Policy
Payment is due in full at the time that services are rendered. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, ScratchPay and Care Credit.
Patient Arrival Policy
For your protection, and the protection of the other patients and owners visiting our office, we ask that all pets be properly restrained while in the waiting area or exam rooms. Dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled, and all cats and other small animals must be presented in an appropriate cat carrier or on a leash.
Privacy Policy
We do not collect or give out any information to any third party vendors or internet businesses. No information will ever be disclosed to outside parties from us or our web site hosting company. It’s that simple! And we strictly adhere to this policy.

Your privacy is also protected in our hospital. At no time is any information given out about the client or the pet without the consent of the owner.
Late & No Call/No Show Policy
To ensure that each client and patient gets the time and attention they deserve, we are currently enforcing a late and no call/no show policy.
Late policy: If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, it is required that you call the hospital to ensure we can still see you. All appointments that start 10 minutes or later after the start time are subject to a late fee.
No call/No show policy: Clients are required to give 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel/reschedule any appointments. By not canceling/rescheduling at the appropriate time a note will be recorded on your record. After 3 no call/no shows, the clinic may terminate the hospital-client-patient relationship.
