October 19 - Important announcement from the clinic:
To our valued clients:
Many of you are aware of the challenges we have faced in the past couple of years due to the Covid pandemic. You have experienced greater wait times for appointments - both on the day of your appointments, and also in scheduling. Believe us, we understand that it has been difficult, and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. We also appreciate kindness and understanding from you as we navigate these difficult times.
One of our greatest challenges has been the increase in caseload, while experiencing a massive decrease in staffing of veterinarians and other veterinary staff members. This is, unfortunately, happening across all veterinary clinics.
As a result, in order to provide the best possible care to you and your beloved pets, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to make changes to our hours of operation, as well as to our on call services. Our limited staff providing small animal services need to be well-rested and ready for you during our regular appointments. Without looking after our own well-being, we will be unable to look after your pets in the best way possible.
Please note that large animal on call services will remain unchanged. Also note that breeders in need of whelping assistance or caesarian sections, and regular clients with animals needing to be euthanized on an emergency basis will be seen.
As of Monday, November 22, 2021, we will no longer be able to offer small animal emergencies after 5pm. Any client with a companion animal experiencing an emergent situation will be directed to the clinics listed below.
As of Saturday, December 4th, 2021, we will no longer be open on Saturdays. For the time being, we will remain open from 8am-6pm Monday to Friday. Should you require any assistance for your pets between 6pm Friday and 8am Monday, again, please contact the clinics listed below.
We sincerely hope that this will be a transient measure; however, until we have resumed with full staffing, we are unable to maintain the hours we previously held. We appreciate your understanding at this most difficult, challenging, and unexpected time in all of our lives.
