Emergencies
It's no fun worrying about your pet while you're on vacation! With our veterinarians right next door we are capable of handling any emergency situation. We ask that you provide us with a way to contact you quickly in the event that there is an emergency. If there is a life threatening medical emergency, decisive action will be taken immediately by a veterinarian and then you will be contacted . If the issue is not life threatening a veterinarian will contact you to discuss options and help you make decisions regarding your pets health. All treatment costs incurred are the responsibility of the owner. In the event of a weather related emergency, we will institute our evacuation plan and contact you as soon as we are able.
Aggressive pets
There is the occasional pet that does not adapt well to different environments or because of a lack of socialization does not adapt well to other people or animals. We can accommodate your pet, but please realize we utilize additional staff and extra time. There may be handling fees associated with the aggressive or especially difficult pet.
