33 Years with AAHA!
AAHA logo We are pleased to announce that this past March, our clinic was inspected and re-accredited as a member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)! We have been an AAHA member since 1977.  Remaining a member of AAHA requires that we adhere to their continually rising standards in all aspects of veterinary medicine - from client communication to patient care to hospital maintenance.   This ensures that we continue to provide the best possible care to your loved one - furry, hairless, scaled, or feathered!

Cats Are Not Small Dogs! (nor do they want to be!)
The Importance Of A Yearly Physical
Cat owners are well aware that although their furry felines friends can be quite prissy, demanding, and downright difficult - their lives would not be as colorful nor as enriched as they are with them in their lives!  We know you love your cat and we want to help you keep your cat healthy as long as possible.  Click here to find out how you can do so.


When Is It An Emergency?

Emergencies can happen at any hour of the day.  That is why we offer both in-hours and after-hours emergency services to our established clientele only.  We are available for AAHA logoafter-hour emergencies from 8pm-10pm Monday through Friday, and from Saturday 12 noon until 10pm Sunday.  Regardless of the time of day, if your pet has an emergency, you must call first so we can make sure we have a doctor available. If you call after-hours, our answering service will pick up.  If a doctor is unavailable, you will be referred to a local emergency veterinary clinic.

We hope that you find these newsletters informative! Please let us know how we are doing!
 
Hope you and your pet are enjoying the beautiful weather!
