Our Pet Health Centers, accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association, are currently taking appointments for both the Don and Karen LaRocca Wellness Center and the Alex and Elisabeth Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center (including spay/neuter and dental procedures) while continuing to make sure our community remains as safe as possible. Appointments are being staggered and spaced out for social distancing. We will also be continuing with curbside service.
For appointments in the Alex and Elisabeth Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center clients are first driving up to the front of the building with their pets and receptionists, using protective gear and social distancing, will be directing them to a parking space. Owners are filling out necessary paperwork in the car and a veterinary technician is taking the animal into the appointment with the doctor. Then the owner will speak with the veterinarian by cell phone and the pet is returned to the owner along with medications, if needed.
For spay/neuter and other surgical procedures, clients are asked to download this helpful map to make the process easier.
For appointments in the Don and Karen LaRocca Pet Wellness Center clients are parking in this center’s parking lot and staying in the vehicle. A greeter will meet the owner and check in the pet. Then the same procedures are being followed.
Beginning Sunday, January 2, 2022 our Pet Health Centers will be open as follows:
Monday to Friday 9:00am – 6:00pm
Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm
Sunday Closed
Phone lines are open 9:00am-5:00pm
We continue to follow the CDC and local government guidelines and regulations, and request that all visitors comply with continued social distancing, and that clients call ahead and never just walk in. You can reach our Pet Health Centers at 516-883-2000.
