Boarding

Boarding of animals is a service we can provide for our clients.  We have limited facilities available so you will need to make reservations in advance for this service.  Pets will need to be current on their vaccinations in order to be admitted for boarding.  In the event that your pet becomes ill while boarding, we will provide necessary treatment.  Please call our office for full details and to schedule your pet for boarding.


Admittance to the Clinic

To keep your pet protected, we require all pets be current with their vaccinations when admitted to the hospital. If due, the vaccinations will be given in order to insure the protection from contagious and often fatal disease.

Any animal that is admitted to the clinic and found to have fleas will be treated and the owner will be charged for the medication.

We welcome your calls about the status of your pet while in the clinic for surgery or treatment. If your pet is admitted and staying over night we ask that you call after 9:00 am for a progress report. If your pet is admitted for the day for a surgery or procedure, please call after 1pm for a progress report. 


Restraint

For the safety of you, your pet, and others in the office, we request that your pet be on a leash or in a pet carrier. Your cooperation is appreciated.


Your Pet at Home

When your pet is released from the hospital we will give you specific instructions about their care at home.  If they have had a procedure involving anesthesia, do not feed them any food until the next morning.   This will help prevent them from vomiting at home.  Make sure they have plenty of fresh water and feed them a regular meal the next day.  Most pets will continue at home with their regular diet.  If a special diet is needed, or if food needs to be softened we will let you know.

Surgery patients should have limited activity for several days.  Watch them so they do not run & jump and tear out stitches.  In addition, do not let them lick their sutures or surgery site. This will delay healing and may cause infection. If you have problems with this please contact the office for further instructions.

Any questions you have about your pet or about their healing process please call the office.  We can always check a surgery site to make sure it is healing properly. 


Preventative Medicine

In our office we have found that the majority of our sick patients could have been spared their illness through regular preventative health procedures . Along with the knowledge that you are giving your pet adequate care, you will find that the costs for prevention are much less than the costs of treatment. Ask us about planning a preventative health program for your pet.
