Did you know that in cases of Emergencies??
● After hours emergency services are only provided to patients with a valid VCPR.
● IE another horse on your property that has not been examined by Dr. Smith does not have a valid VCPR.
● If you are having an after hours emergency, you MUST CALL and leave a voicemail or message with answering service or staff at 607-734-5755.
● DO NOT TEXT IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY- THESE ARE NOT
MONITORED AFTER HOURS
● Missed calls without a voicemail will not be returned.
● True Emergencies Only: Please reserve after-hour calls for
non-preventable emergencies. If your animal has had an issue for several days and it is not urgent, we may need to schedule a visit during regular business hours.

Valid client patient relationship (VCPR)
To maintain status as a current client, a valid VCPR requires a once yearly farm visit for routine veterinary care or consultation.
Equine patients should see us every 6 months for preventative care (wellness exams, vaccines and dental care) to ensure access to priority emergency service coverage.
Sick animal visits do not qualify for establishing yourself as a current client.

Dr. Smith is taking on a very limited amount of new clients at locations she already services. Call 607-734-5755 or email [email protected].

You will be expected to sign a new "client expectations form" that is labeling you as a current client in good standing prior to or at the first appointment.
