Question 3

Can my pet see the same Veterinarian and/or Veterinary Technician each visit?

Accepted Answer

If you have a preferred Doctor and/or technician, we will try our best to accommodate your request. Simply request a preference for your time of scheduling or ask our staff to place a note on your chart so we will know your preferences moving forward. There are a few situations (see below) where your pet may not be able to see your preferred hospital staff, but rest assured, your pet's best interest is still our top priority in emergencies or Availability

Question 4

Why do you check my pet's weight every time he/she comes in for a visit?

Accepted Answer

Many parts of our examinations for pets are like human check-ups. Just like your doctor always checks your height and weight when you go in for a physical, we like to monitor your pet's weight so we can see trends over time. Rapid weight gain or weight loss could be an indication of an issue that we need to address. If your pet has weight related issues, it is important to monitor weight loss so we can create an appropriate plan. Similarly, weight lets us know proper dosage of medication, anesthesia, and more.

Question 5

My pet is well trained. Does he/she need to be on a leash/in a carrier when we visit the hospital?

Accepted Answer

Our hospital policies require that all animals always be on a locked leash or in a carrier while visiting the hospital. Even the best trained pets can get scared or have transmissible diseases, so it is for the safety of other patients and staff. Once you are in the exam room, a member of our team will let you know when it is safe to take your pet off-leash or out of the carrier.
