We are excited to announce that beginning Monday, June 1st we will begin offering in-clinic doctors appointments as well as scheduling elective procedures and wellness visits.

Our lobby is still closed and we will only be allowing a limited number of clients, but it’s a step towards an easier appointment process and a step towards normalcy. Of course, if you prefer not to be present in the building we will continue to offer appointments via our Curbside Service.

Thinking about adding a pet to your household? Why not consider adopting from a shelter? Shelters and rescues are filled with animals waiting to be adopted. Dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds—purebred and mixed—can be found in shelters.

And, if you’ve added a furry friend to your family, be sure to update your emergency plan so everyone stays safe.

Making an emergency plan

That needle prick can be used to draw a blood sample to obtain baseline blood work on your pet, and it could help us to identify any disease processes we’re not able to see during the physical exam.

In addition to annual blood work, we may recommend a urinalysis and a fecal test so we can keep tabs on your furry friend’s kidney function, bladder health, and the presence of any parasites. Remember, our pets age much more quickly than we do, so an annual checkup is crucial to identifying diseases early and preventing them from progressing.
