Please do not call Loudoun Vet to schedule appointments. They will not be able to schedule your appointments as they are only allowing us to use their building
We ask that dogs arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time to fill out required paperwork. Please bring a copy of your dog’s AKC registration form as well as any permanent identification information you may have for your dog, as this is required for the certification. Some forms can be filled out online now for several tests. Follow the instructions on the OFA website ( www.ofa.org) to do so. Please bring paperwork needed along with exact change for services
The clinic will be run curbside style. After checking in, you will wait in your car with your dogs. Someone will get your dogs and paperwork and take your dog to their tests. If there is a problem found with eyes, patella or dentition, the doctors will call you at a later time to discuss their findings. You must wear a mask when checking in and when giving your dogs to the technicians and assistants. There is a slight increase for procedures due to sanitizing and social distancing costs to keep staff and clients safe.
We also can not accept credit cards or checks for payment of services. Cash only please. Please have exact change based on desired procedures.
Participants that have not shown up for their scheduled appointments in the past may not be scheduled or may need to pre-pay in the future. We have limited appointments available. Please be respectful and let us know if you can not make your appointment so others are able to attend.
The OFA website and databases provide the tools needed to promote the health and welfare of companion animals through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease.
