Pre-Check-In to our Virtual Waiting Room
We recognize that waiting for extended periods of time in a lobby may not always be ideal, especially for nervous pets. That's why we have introduced a Virtual Waiting Room through our free smartphone app! Pre-check-in and hold your spot in line to visit with the veterinarians. Our team will send notifications regarding the current wait time, as well as when you are next, and what room will be ready for you and your pet!
If your pet does not need to see the veterinarian, please skip the pre-check-in service. Vaccines (excluding rabies) can be done with a technician at any time if your pet is a returning patient!

Virtual Vet Visits
We recognize that telemedicine is a vital tool for helping you get the care you need for your pet especially during the coronavirus pandemic.
Our easy-to-use app allows you to connect to a veterinarian directly. Due to the virtual nature of telemedicine, it can only be used in situations where there is already a strong veterinarian-client-patient relationship. This means you must be a current client of our hospital and your pet must be current on their annual exam. Furthermore, not all medical cases can be solved with a virtual vet visit.
Each consultation will incur a $32 charge prior to connecting with a veterinarian that can be set up within the app. If your pet requires a prescription or further testing within our hospital, these services will incur an additional charge.
Here is a list of appropriate cases for telemedicine:
- Sneezing, coughing, diarrhea, ear infections, or other minor symptoms
- Behavioral changes such as scratching more often than usual or lethargy
- Changes in gait, such as limping
- Discussions regarding ongoing care
In the event of a pet emergency, do not use telemedicine, but call our animal hospital directly at (219) 763-3311.
