Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to always have your pet on a short leash or in a carrier before bringing them into the clinic. This is for their safety and the safety of other pets.

For your protection, the protection of your pet and that of others, all dogs must be on a short leash and properly controlled while in the waiting area or exam rooms. All cats must be presented in an appropriate cat carrier or on a leash. Exotic pets (birds, small mammals, reptiles) should be in an appropriate carrier, cage or box.
