We wanted to let all our clients know that we are planning to stay open and continue to service your pet’s needs. If you have symptoms of illness we are asking you to delay elective procedures like vaccinations until you are feeling better. If you are sick and your pet is sick, please call us and we will make every effort to accommodate you and plan ahead for a safe visit. We are implementing changes to promote social distancing and protect the safety of you and our employees. When you call to schedule an appointment or refill medication, we will inform you of any new procedures in place. Thank you for continued support of our clinic during these trying times!

 

Are you worried about how your pet is going to fare while you are away?
