Hi guys! We recently have gotten a lot of questions about when we’re going to let people into the building. We’re taking it day by day and listening intensely to what the people that are doing the research know about COVID and how to best keep our staff and our clients healthy. Please be patient and wear a mask!

Thank you for the continued support and patience of our clinic through these trying times. We will have a more in depth update after the holidays! We will be closed July 3-July 5th in observance of our Independence Day! As always there will be a doctor available for emergency situations for our clients! We home everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!

Hello Everyone! We hope this post finds you and your family healthy and happy! As New York State starts opening up, we are starting to create more appointment times to better serve our community. We are still only doing curbside as our clinic is too small to appropriately social distance. We are trying to protect you and our staff by continuing curbside service. We are still limiting our services to emergencies, sick patients, if your pet needs a rabies vaccination, or if you... need refills on medications. We ask that you wear masks as well. (A gentle reminder that if anyone on our staff gets sick, the whole clinic has to shut down and we will be unable to help anyone) Also at this time we are not scheduling nail trims unless medically necessary (ingrown or broken) We appreciate everyone who has been kind and patient with us while we continue to figure out the safest course of action. We hope that we continue to serve our community effectively and safely. P.S. Cali did not want to model for this update but don't let that fool you! She misses everyone's affection for her! (She believes that we don't pay enough attention to her...don't let her fool you!)
