3.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, we reccommend that you make an appointment to ensure that you see a doctor when you wish to.


4.

What if I am late for my appointment?
Please try to contact us to inform us of your situation. Regardless, we will endeavour to see you as soon as possible when you arrive. However, this would depend on any other clients that may have scheduled appointments for the same doctor when you arrive. Our staff will inform you of the possible waiting time.

5.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please inform us as soon as possible.  We will reschedule your appointment for the next most convenient time for you.

6.

Will I have to wait very long?
No. We make every effort to ensure that all appointments begin on time and that any waiting is kept minimal. However, if we have a life-threatening emergency you may have to wait until that critical patient is stabilized. This depends on the number of doctors on duty and the severity of the emergency. In which case we would appreciate your patience.

7.

May I request a specific doctor?
Yes! We do encourage you to see the same doctor as often as possible. This provides for consistent health care and lines of communication. However, either doctor will be happy to see you if a specific doctor is not available or working when you want to come in.

8.

Do you accept new patients?
Yes. We always welcome new patients. Please Contact Us so we can book you an appointment. Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes for your first appointment.

9.

What if my pet has to stay in the hospital?
Your pet will be monitored by our team of doctors, technicians and veterinary assistants to ensure maximum comfort and care. Your pet will receive a thorough medical evaluation multiple times daily and you will receive a progress report from your doctor or the doctor on duty after 11 a.m. every day that you pet is with us. If the doctor is with another client or in surgery when you call, one of our Registered Veterinary Technicians will discuss your pet’s progress with you and will take a message as to when and where your doctor may contact you.

10.
Will I have to leave a deposit?
Yes. You are required to leave a 50% deposit at the time of drop-off based on the medcial estimate your doctor has reviewed with you. You will then be required to pay the remaining balance of your account at the time of your pet is discharged. Your veterinarian will keep you fully apprised of your account balance on a daily basis, and will contact you for authorization for any additional procedures and expense.

11.

What form of payments do you accept?
We accept Cash, Interac, Visa, MasterCard and AMEX.  We also offer Medicard, which is a third party financing company. There is an application to be filled out for a line of credit to be applied towards your account, dependant upon approval. Please ask our staff for more details. We regret that cheques can not be accepted! All invoices must be paid in full at the time services are rendered!

Do you provide boarding facilities?
Yes. We do provide boarding services for our registered clients. Cats may board with us Monday - Sunday and dogs from Monday - Friday.  You do not have to worry about bringing the basic necessities like blankets, dishes, litter, etc. We will provide your pet with everything he/she needs during their stay. However, if your pet is on a specific diet or is sensitive to food changes then we would recommend you bring your pet's food along with them. Otherwise, we feed all animals the Medi-Cal brand kibble. We can provide you with canned food along with any other specific diets at an additional cost.  Dogs are walked a minimum of three times daily and all cages are thoroughly cleaned everyday! Please be reminded that your pet's vaccines must be up to date prior to boarding.
