All pets should be leashed or kenneled to ensure their safety.
If you or your pet have any mobility concerns, please contact us so we can help to make any necessary arrangements.
Please also be aware that there will be loud machinery on site throughout the week. If your pet is noise sensitive, please let us know as you may want to consider re-scheduling your appointment.
