Wait Times Explained

We appreciate your patience. We do our best to take care of every pet’s needs that come through our doors. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your pet.

=

Triage System

A medical team member will perform a quick assessment of your pet that includes temperature, pulse, and respiration to help prioritize which cases need to be seen first. The arrival of a critically ill or injured pet may require medical staff to begin life-saving interventions immediately, which can lead to a longer wait for you. You and your pet’s health are very important to us. If your pet’s condition declines at any time during your wait, please notify one of our team members so we can reassess.
=

Peak Wait Times

There are periods of time which tend to be busier than others, including nights and weekends, but that can be difficult to predict. We never know what pet will be in need or when, but we do our best to see all cases in a timely manner.
=

Behind The Scenes

While we are managing new arrivals, we are also providing care to our hospitalized patients. At times, patients within the hospital are in critical need and may require multiple staff members to immediately provide supportive care.
=

Questions

We see owners as being an integral part of the health care team and take your questions and concerns very seriously. We will be happy to answer questions you may have regarding your pet; however, there may be a delay in our ability to respond immediately. Our doctors take great consideration and time to care for patients or provide owners with necessary updates on their pet’s condition.
=

Complications

Unexpected illnesses or conditions may arise for our incoming patients or those that are currently hospitalized. In some cases, this may affect the wait times for those in the waiting room as well, even after you have been given an estimated time frame to be seen.
