Out of hours is not the time. This time should be reserved for emergencies only. If your pet has been sick for a while do not wait until closing, after hours or the end of the week to bring it to the attention of your veterinarian. Not only will it upset your veterinarian but it is unfair to your pet. Many clinics have reduced availability of staff, testing and monitoring at these times.
Emergencies are very confusing and emotional times.
Please cancel any arrangements you might have made with a veterinarian if your pet should pass away or other arrangements have been made to have your pet looked at. Out of hours most veterinarians would have to drive to the clinic to meet you. Always determine the credit policy of the clinic before making an appointment. Never arrive for an appointment assuming you can write a post-dated cheque or that you will be extended credit. Write down any questions or concerns you might have and bring them with you to your scheduled appointment.
