Walk-ins: Our Veterinary Medical Center often receives an overwhelming number of urgent cases. Even when fully staffed, it is not uncommon to have to turn clients away when the hospital is overloaded. The caseload has increased dramatically due to COVID-19 as financially impacted owners are increasingly being turned away by local veterinary hospitals and our facility is their only hope of receiving services. We receive a large number of walk-in urgent cases each day in addition to appointments, and the need to provide care very frequently exceeds our ability to provide that care.

When we reach these conditions where we cannot possibly provide safe and legally required standard of practice care to more public pets, and we have no choice but to stop receiving incoming patients and refer them to other hospitals in the valley.

COVID-19 Restrictions: We are only allowing 1 family member per animal in the building at this time. If you have a physical issue that requires assistance, your aid is welcome, however, we ask that all other family members stay outside or remain in the vehicle. We still have curbside service available to accommodate those who choose not to come indoors or have part of their family wait in separate areas.

***Please note that any groups of 8 or more (adults and/or children) who wish to interact with animals, receive information, or go on a tour need to arrange a meeting time in advance. Please email: [email protected]
