New Deposit and Cancellation Policy

Due to a high number of missed appointments, no-call and no-shows, we have put deposit and cancellation policies in place. Missed appointments are very costly for us and negatively impact the number of animals and families we can help each month. We now require the following deposit for all pet appointments scheduled beginning December 1, 2023 and after. Invoices will be sent out within 24 hours of registration. Deposits are due within 24 hours of the invoice being sent and can be paid securely by credit/debit card. Please watch for this email and check your SPAM or Junk folder if you have not received it within 24 hours after registering. If you do not pay your deposit at that time, we will release your surgical appointment to someone else.

Pet Cat and dog Deposits – $25

The deposit will go toward the cost of your pet’s surgery and will be deducted from the balance due upon check-in. If you need to cancel your appointment, we require at least a 5 day notice in order for your deposit to be refunded. Deposits for missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 5 days notice are non-refundable.
