Staff have been heroic pulling together for 1/2 day Monday before weather got pretty severe. All got home safe. We've been blessed that a few have been able to safely brave the elements to care for the animals in house. Most are still trapped and homebound. Tonite's deep freeze will delay improvement in their roads and leaves us unable to properly staff either Hospital tomorrow. We're still going to have to figure out the parking lots to make things safe for clients so we have a way to go. We'll make a decision about Thursday tomorrow, so please check here regularly and call before you brave the roads. Progressively some are finding better roads, but for many of us, conditions are quite impassable. Our appologies for not being there at this time, but I believe our staff are dedicated and we will continue to strive to get free of this snowy grasp one at a time until we can get back to providing service. ----- Dr. Will

Because of the winter mess, both our clinics will be closed tomorrow. We are unable to make our parking lots safe and our staff will be blessed if they make it home safely today. We thought the second wave wouldn't really be here until this evening but things are deteriorating. The main roads are not horrible, but side roads and parking lots are becoming increasingly dangerous for some. So CLOSED TUESDAY. Because we are expecting such bitter cold, it is hard to predict whether Wednsday will be any better... or Thursday. We are committed to caring for you and your pets, but must have staff and safety for clients and staff. Please call Wed and Thursday to check on our availability. Hopefully we'll have at least one of the clinics operating to some degree. We'd respectfully ask that if you have elective visits (annuals, vaccines, etc...) that you try and reschedule for a nicer day. We promise to do our best. Please be safe. The Animal Emergency & Specialty Center of Knoxville will probably rebound more quickly than we will as their staff are more urban centered and hopefully clearer roadways, but I'd call them prior to leaving home just in case.
----Dr. Will and Team.

Due to the winter weather storm system we are expecting over the next few days + we would like to ensure that everyone remains safe. Due to the rural and hilly locations many of our staff live in, it is entirely possible that we will not be able to properly staff our two hospitals during some if not all of the next few days. We all know that some events are way overblown and others sneak in and cause more problems than even expected. However with the weather forecasts suggesting some dangerous conditions, we ask that you please call the clinics before taking to the roads. We promise to do the best we can to continue to care for your clients and pets, but until we see how this system effects us, we urge caution to everyone. We realize that this could be very inconvenient, but we've gotten through winter weather before and we'll get through this event also. If we are not answering our phones, please feel free to call back later because if conditions improve for our staff, we will endeavor to get one if not both clinics back operational. If there is an emergency, please contact the Animal Emergency & Specialty Center of Knoxville. We are hoping their location on Kingston Pike will be clear to safe travel sooner than we are if indeed we get bad weather. Again, please be safe and we'll be back in action as soon as we possibly can based on the ongoing conditions. ---- Dr. Will

It sounds like it might be nasty tomorrow. We hate to inconvenience anyone, and know that pets need care even when it's gross out, and we will do our best, but please stay tuned as we approach the morning drive to see if we can safely have our medical team members get in to serve you. Many live in fairly remote areas, and we can't risk their safety. Road conditions will dictate. Please be safe! Thanks. Dr. Will

New Blog post for those interested. Should I feed my dog "Grain Free" food. Risks and possible alternatives. Not a definitive opinion, but worthy of consideration and discussion.

As we continue to all work together to keep healthy and minimize the toll of this pandemic, I wanted to share the website to get your 4 free test kits per family. Your taxes pay for these. Might as well get yours in case you or a loved one needs them.

https://www.covidtests.gov/

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.

The team have braved the conditions and found them to be tolerable. Norris will continue with its appointment schedule for the remainder of the day. Be safe if you are coming our way... it's still plenty slippery in areas.
