Animal Doctors

The Animal Doctors is an appointment based clinic. Making an appointment, allows our veterinarians to spend the appropriate amount of time your pet needs, finding out their history and performing a full physical examination. We ask that clients try to arrive on time for their appointments. We do admit that there are delays occasionally when an emer... gency case may present. As a courtesy, if you are unable to make your appointment, we appreciate a cancellation call 24 hours in advance so that your appointment slot can be released to another pet in need.

Depending on the triage, critical cases will be attended to immediately. However, non critical cases will be placed in the walk-in queue. If you are unsure or think your animal is in an emergency or in extreme pain, inform our staff immediately upon arrival.

It is also recommended in cases where our veterinarians have determined that the pet is suffering. Our vets will discuss in detail with owners prior to making this recommendation. If you pet is presenting to the clinic in an emergency situation, please allow our staff to bring your pet immediately to the treatment area for triage and veterinary attention.
