For scheduled surgical and dental admissions, we ask that you have your pet here by 8:00 a.m. Food is to be taken away at 8:00 p.m. the evening before a procedure requiring anethesia. Do not take away water. If you are unable to be here by 8:00 a.m. the morning of admission arrangements can be made to drop off your pet by 5:00 the evening before. When checking on a hospitalized patient please wait until after 9:00 AM, allowing the doctor time to examine patient and discuss necessary treatments and plans. You are encouraged to visit your hospitalized pet as long as it will not interfere with the healing process. Please call ahead to make sure your visit is right for your pet and to schedule the time. We care about your pet and their safety is important to us, so please have them on a leash or in a carrier.
