CLINIC VISITS
We are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, we do not offer appointments.
Arriving at the clinic
Please stay in line, in the order you have arrived until you have been checked in and guaranteed a spot. Once you have checked in you are free to leave and come back, depending on where you are in the line. Please let us know if you are stepping away or waiting in your car, and we will give you an estimated time to return.
Clinic Capacity
We never know how early people are going to show up, however, we are regularly at capacity anywhere from 1-3 hours before we open for weekday clinics and 2-4 hours before we open for Saturday clinics. In the event of an urgent case, it may result in some clients being asked to come back to the next clinic day.
Waiting
Please bundle up it is cold outside; bring umbrellas, chairs, and blankets for you and your pets. We have the same challenges as many veterinary clinics, with limited indoor space. Wait times can be as long as 5+ hours, depending on when you arrive and when you are seen, please plan accordingly.
Bathrooms
Unfortunately, we do not have bathrooms available. Once you have checked in you are free to leave and come back, depending on where you are in the line. Please let us know if you are stepping away or waiting in your car, and we will give you an estimated time to return.
Parking
We do not have parking available, it is either street parking or near by parking garages (one is directly across from us and is open on Wednesdays & Thursdays).
Community safety rules
All animals are required to be on a leash or in a pet carrier. Don’t let pets interact with each other, they may be sick and contagious. If your animal is sick and possibly contagious, please keep your distance from other animals and announce active symptoms to our check-in team. Caution is advised if your animal shows symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and/or is lethargic.
Reactive Dogs
Please let us know if your dog is human and/or dog aggressive so we can take appropriate measures.
VETERINARY SERVICES
General
Preventative care includes wellness checks, vaccinations, flea treatment, ear treatments, wound care, medication management, and limited diagnostic testing.
Diagnostic/Surgery
When an animal needs surgery, we will put them on a waitlist and schedule it on one of the procedure days. Surgeries are provided by our volunteer veterinary professionals. Our current waitlist for medically necessary dental procedures is roughly 1-6 months out, depending on the severity. We appreciate your patience.
Urgent / Emergency
We do not offer urgent and emergency services. If your animal needs urgent or emergency care, we will supply a list of local Emergency hospitals to you.
Medication Refills
We require 1 week’s notice for refills, please email us at info@doneycoe.org for your refill.
Refills will not be filled if you come to the clinic and request a refill, we have a tight schedule and devote that time to seeing as many pets as possible.
