We are excited to announce that we will be extending our Urgent Care hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting this Thursday, August 10th, and reopening our General Practice for appointments every other Saturday starting Saturday, August 26th, with a bonus Saturday next week on August 19th. Our Pet Retreat hours remain unchanged at this time. Updated hours are as follows:

Urgent Care (effective 08/10/23)
Monday-Friday 7:00 am - 10:00 pm
Saturday/Sunday 10:00 am - 8:00 pm

General Practice (effective 08/26/23)
Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Saturday (alternating) 9:00 am - 4:00 pm (open every other Saturday)
Sunday Closed

Pet Retreat (unchanged)
Monday-Friday 7:00 am - 5:30 pm
Saturday 9:00 am - 1:00 pm (pick up from/drop off for boarding only)
Sunday 9:00 am - 1:00 pm (pick up from boarding only)

We expect that these changes will give us the ability to provide attention and care to even more of our clients and patients in a timely manner; however, we ask that you please continue to call ahead to inquire about availability, as this is an extremely busy time of year during which our General Practice appointments are often booked out a month or more in advance and our Urgent Care capacity fills up very quickly, and we may not always be able to accommodate walk-ins.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding with our evolving schedule and hope that you will find these changes helpful to you and your furry family members!

To Our Valued WAHPR Clients,

Due to an unexpected emergency, we do not have a doctor available on Urgent Care this afternoon and have had to close this department for the remainder of the day today. Urgent Care will reopen as usual tomorrow morning at 7:00 am.

This does not affect our General Practice or Pet Retreat hours.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Team WAHPR
