NOTICE REGARDING CLINIC VISITS

                     

Beginning Monday, October 3, 2022 we will once again be taking steps towards "the good old days" before COVID forced us to change.  That day we will start allowing  clients to come and wait inside with their pets for their appointments, checking in and checking out 'face to face' with our receptionists.  You will no longer be required to call from the parking lot and wait to be escorted into the building.  Additionally we will no longer limit "pet parents" to just one per patient visit, but please be mindful that exam room size is a factor.  

For those clients whom prefer, we will be happy to continue to provide 'curbside' services as we have done.
