We would like to start by giving a huge thank you to all of our clients and patients for your continued support and understanding while we work through our staff shortage. There have been multiple times we have had to close for an afternoon or a day in order to give our staff a break. We will continue to post any changes in our hours on our website, page, and on our front door. Due to staff vacations, we will be closed November 1st and 3rd-6th. There will be no one in the office those days for pick ups or to answer the phones. If you feel your pet might need a refill of medication, more food, or you might need a copy of their vaccine records around that time, please contact us so we might be able to help get you anything you may need before those dates. If your pet needs immediate medical attention, please contact the BluePearl Veterinary Clinic at 319-841-5161. You may reach out via email at any time at [email protected] but please note there may not be a staff member available at all times to answer the emails right away.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. We have hired a couple of friendly new faces and are hoping we will return to our normal hours again in the near future.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding while we work through this tough time.
