When you leave your animal in our care, please do not leave leashes, bones, toys, harnesses, cat boxes, blankets, choker chains, etc. No animal will be admitted for hospitalization or boarding whose immunizations are not current. Restraint is important for your safety and theirs. Cat carriers are available at a minimal charge. All surgery cases must be scheduled.
Water is OK overnight, but take it up first thing in the morning on the day of surgery.
And 5 P.M. Animals having dentistry or minor surgical procedures are usually discharged the same day. Major surgical cases stay overnight or longer to allow for recovery from anesthesia and evaluation of the animal during the post-surgical period. Although we are open until 9 P.M. weekdays, most animals are discharged before 6 P.M. to allow adequate time for the doctor to review instructions with you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to discuss them with us. It is advisable that you do not give your pet too much water or food at one time upon arriving home.
