Hi Everyone!

(No, the power isn't out, and Yes, our phones are working (knock on wood))

-- I wanted to give you all a heads up that I have made some changes to our online pharmacy.
You will hopefully find this new platform easier, faster and a much more pleasant experience.

If you were on an Auto-ship program from our old provider, we will be reaching out to you over the next few days about continuing your automatic orders.

Everyone else, you may need to create a new sign-on account, but it should be a really simple process.

I want to encourage you all to check it out.

You can find a link to the new store on our website or by clicking here:

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update. We are STILL without power at the clinic. In-theory it will be restored by 11pm tonight. They've given us 3 different restoration dates and times, so hopefully this one will stick.

If the power does come back on, please be patient while we work to reschedule a whole ton of appointments and try to get everyone's pets taken care of as quickly as we can.

If the phones are still down on Monday morning please email or text the clinic and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Thanks again!

- Dr. Tim

Hi Everyone! As you can probably guess, the power is out and the phones are down at the clinic this morning. No idea when we will be up and running. The staff and I are here if you need us but best to stay off the roads if you can.

Thanks and stay safe!

Hi Everyone!
Lilly slipped her collar on her way into the clinic last night and took off behind the dog park. Please keep your eye out for her. She is very shy so it is best to not approach her as she will likely run. If you happen to see her, please contact us or Shawna so we can get her home safely. Thank you all for your help!

Hi Everyone!

A couple of us will be in the clinic this morning. If you have an urgent medical issue with your pets please give us a call. Otherwise, we will likely close down in a couple of hours as the roads get worse.

If you can help it, stay home, we will be back tomorrow morning!

Thanks and stay safe!

Hi Everyone! We're going to close up a little early this afternoon and get the staff all home safe and sound.

We'll be back in the clinic tomorrow morning from 9 until noon. We'll be closed Sunday and Monday so our staff can enjoy some time with their families for Christmas.

We hope you all have a safe, happy and fun holiday!!

Hooray! The power came back on last night here at the clinic!

However... Our Spectrum service is still out. So we have to communicate through a cell phone connection for the foreseeable future.

BUT, we are here, and able to access medical records, the pharmacy and lab!!

SO.... We are still somewhat limited. It's just me and the technicians here today and tomorrow. If you need to call, please do. If you can hold off until next week, please do. The staff has to work on rescheduling around 150 appointments and surgeries as quickly as we can. They're going to be stressed too. Please be kind.

AND... I still don't have power at my home. It's been since Monday morning that I have had a proper shower... If you're coming in today or tomorrow... You've been warned.

Thanks again everyone for your patience, kind words and help through this ordeal. If anyone needs to use some of our electricity you're more than welcome. I'll even run an extension to your car so you don't have to smell me.

It's me again...

Still no power at the clinic, NYSEG has pushed the expected repair date back yet again on us.

Since pretty much everything we do relies on electricity and the internet (and heat and running water) we will be closed for appointments and surgeries today (April 21st).

If by some miracle, power is restored today I will let you all know and we will open back up.

The cell based internet service has been spotty the past few days, as more homes get power hopefully that will improve. So, if you have a medication that needs to be refilled or a medical question about your pet please email the clinic. You can also try our telemedicine app to reach one of the doctors. Not sure it will work efficiently but it's worth a shot.

For any life threatening medical emergencies please call Cornell at 607-253-3060.

Please accept our deepest apologies for being closed again. This is beyond frustrating at this point, but unfortunately out of our control. As soon as service is restored we will work as quickly as we can to reschedule everyone.

Thank you for your patience and thank you to those who are working tirelessly to get us back online.

Unfortunately the power and phones are still out this morning at the clinic and at the staff and doctors homes.

The office will remain closed today (Wednesday 4/20) unless power is restored.

It's obvious this storm did a tremendous amount of damage to our area. Thank you to all the utilities and public safety workers for getting everything sorted out and repaired.

Once we have power and phones we will be back up and running. Until then if you have a true medical emergency please contact Cornell at 607-253-3060. If you are in dire need of a medication for your pet send us an email and we will try to arrange for it to be picked up.

Thanks Everyone, stay warm!

Hi Everyone!

It looks like it is going to be a bit longer for our power and phones to be restored. Unfortunately we are going to have to close the office for appointments this afternoon.

We will try to get you all rescheduled as quickly as we can once services are restored.

Thanks and stay safe!

Our Story

The doctors and staff of Country Care Veterinary Center would like to welcome you to our clinic's page. We strive to provide and promote the best possible health care for your family's pets. Dr. Valerie Ebert comes to us from Pennsylvania to share her love for medicine and surgery with you. Dr. Val primarily works with dogs and cats (and on occasion if Dr. Tim isn’t in the office she may see a bunny or swan). Dr. Val is a talented clinician and surgeon who rarely backs down from a challenge.

Dr. Tim Slater has very diverse interests in veterinary medicine. He provides medical and surgical care for anything you can get in the door (and some that you can’t). He treats anything from Dogs and Cats to wildlife and anything in-between.

Our State-of-the-Art clinic is nestled in an old farm house, but don’t let it’s quaint appearance put you off. We have incorporated the latest and best tools to keep your pets happy and healthy. Just some of our services include: General Medicine and Soft-tissue surgery, In-House comprehensive blood diagnostic machines, In-house Ultrasound and Digital Radiography suite including Dental radiography, Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy, Tonometry, Cardiac and Blood Pressure Evaluation capabilities and A full dental suite. Any services that we are unable to provide, our doctors work closely with other near-by hospitals to help get the best outcomes for our patients.
