Your Trusted Neighborhood Vet

Yes, in order to keep our doctors on schedule and to ensure your pet will be seen by the veterinarian, you must call our office to set up an appointment. We do take emergencies throughout the day, so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need your pet seen on short notice.

We can obtain records from most veterinarians with just a simple phone call requesting records be faxed. Some veterinarians require written consent to transfer records, while others require payment for each photocopied page and request that the records be picked up. Please call our office and request that your records be transferred, and we will assist you. 

If you have a copy of your pet’s vaccinations and your pet has no other health issues, we should not need a copy of your records.

Good question! The first thing you need to do is see if the pet has a collar and then a rabies tag on its collar. If so, the tag should have the phone number of the pet’s veterinarian. Please first call the number on the tag to help identify the pet’s owner. Please note: If calling the veterinarian after hours, in most cases, they won’t be able to retrieve the owner’s information until their clinic opens in the morning.

If the owner can’t be reached, then you should contact your local Police Department and your local Humane Society. You would be surprised how many owners have left messages letting the police and the Humane Societies know their pet is missing. 

If there are no tags on the pet you have found, you should call both the Police Department and the Humane Society. Most Police Departments have agreements with veterinarians, Humane Societies, or kennels to house the pet until the owner can be found or other arrangements can be made.
