PET VISITATION

We know that your pet is a beloved family member and having your pet seen for emeregency care is difficult. If your pet is hospitalized, we encourage you to visit your pet while he or she is hospitalized with us. Not only will it provide you with some peace of mind, we believe that your presence is good for your pet. Please know that if you are unable to visit, your pet will receive lots of TLC from our staff. On rare occasions, we may recommend against visiting if we feel it will cause excitement that would be counterproductive for your pet’s care and recuperation. During your visit we request that you follow these basic guidelines:

• Please do not give your pet any food or water without consulting with a technician or a doctor. 
• Please ask a technician or doctor before taking your pet for a walk. 
• Children are always welcome but must supervised at all times. 
• Often other family pets can visit. Please ask your doctor in advance. 
• You may bring favorite blankets, articles of clothing, or toys from home for your pet’s comfort.

If you have specific concerns or questions about the care of condition of your pet, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our technicians. Also you may call us anytime during your pet’s stay to get an update.
