*** OFFICE HOURS FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND ***

Our office will be closed from Friday 05/23/2025 to Monday 05/26/2025, reopening on Tuesday 05/27/2025. As much as we all love to see your smiling faces and receive the wagging-wiggle-butt welcomes from our furry friends here at the clinic, Dr. Bowen and his staff are taking a few days off so that we can have a restful, much needed little break to spend some time with our own families and furry friends.

If your pet requires medical attention during this time PLEASE DO NOT WAIT for care until we reopen. There are multiple emergency animal hospitals in the area that will be open 24/7 throughout the weekend that can assist you and your pet. Tuesday when we return, will be a busy day and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to squeeze your pet in if you do choose to wait for us to reopen. We do our best to accommodate our clients as best as we can but our schedule is already full for the day we return.

We hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Best Wishes,
Dr. Bowen and Staff

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas! Our office will have an abbreviated schedule due to the holidays.

We hope that all of you are having a joyful Christmas season!

We have a small change in our payment processing effective immediately, all forms of card payments will have a 3.5% processing fee added to the total. We have a new processing company and this has prompted the change. We felt keeping this fee for only card payments would be better then raising our prices an additional 3.5% across the board, giving those that would like to avoid the fee the opportunity to pay with cash and save a little.

We still will be accepting cash, all credit cards, CareCredit, Apple Pay and Google Pay

**We are no longer accepting personal checks due to how frequent they have been fraudulent lately. We are sorry that the actions of a few have required us to change how we accept payment**

Payment is due at the time of service

If you have any question please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you!

Over the last few years we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of patients walking through our doors. Please know that we care deeply about each and every pet brought to our facility for care. Recently we have had some clients become displeased that we can not get them in that same day or even the next day. We are trying our best to accommodate as many patients as we can within the work day, we are a small, one doctor practice and are limited to the amount we can physically do in a day. Some of those days are working overtime often without meals or breaks to tend to the patients that need our care. Even though we are not an urgent care or emergency clinic we do our best to help when we can. We are not always able to assist when an emergency arises which is when we are thankful for the great emergency clinics available in our area. We know it can be frustrating to not be seen right away when you are worried about your pet's health. We wholeheartedly hope you understand that we always want to be there when we are needed but sometimes our patient load for the day is too great to take on another. Our current appointments are scheduling a week to a week and a half out and elective surgeries are now booking in December, please plan ahead for spays, neuters and dentals. Please be patient and kind to our staff, without them we can't do what we do! Thank you for being so great and understanding, we look forward to serving you and your pet!❤️🐱🐾🐶❤️
