AT THIS TIME WE ARE UNABLE TO TAKE ON NEW CLIENTS. IF YOU ARE AN ESTABLISHED CLIENT WITH A NEW PET WE ARE GLAD TO SEE THE NEW BABY.
Due to COVID-19 we are encouraging those who need us to follow these guidelines 
– masks are optional…Come in and sign in by the front desk, be sure to leave a cell phone number if you are going to wait in your car. There are limited seats in the waiting room but you are welcome to wait in the waiting room if a seat is available. We are still taking longer between patients due to our cleaning procedures, so even though you may not see another client, it may take a moment as we are likely preparing to see your pet.
