Thank you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Doctor\u2019s Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctors work by appointment only. Appointments can be arranged by calling us at (845) 336-8700 during hospital hours. The appointment system is more time saving for you and enables us to give you and your pet our personal attention during your appointment time. We will make every effort to be on time, however, emergencies may upset our schedule. Delays will be no longer than necessary.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hospital hours <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8:00am-6:00pm <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Wednesday- Closed <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 8:00am-11:00am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emergency Services <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet appears to be developing a medical problem, please try to call the hospital during regular hours. Don\u2019t let it develop into an emergency. However, unexpected emergencies do occur, if this happens call the Kingston Emergency Clinic at (845)336-0713. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Surgery<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All surgery is done on appointment basis only. When surgery\nis performed, your pet is done using sterile technique, gas anesthesia, and the\nassistance of a licensed veterinary technician who also monitors anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visiting <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All visitations are determined on a case-by-case basis, are\nlimited to critically ill patients, and are decided by the case doctor and\nsafety protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hospital Releasing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hospitalized animals are released during hospital hours. This\nis for your protection so that you can receive proper instructions and any\nindicated medications. We recommend you wait about an hour after you arrive at\nhome to feed or give your pet water. Anesthesia can sometimes cause your pet to\nbe a little nauseous especially after a car ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rabies vaccination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to New York state law any cats or dogs seen at our\nhospital must be up to date on a rabies vaccination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appointment policy <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to a high demand of appointments and in order to be respectful of the medical needs of all our patients, please be courteous and call our office promptly if you are unable to make your appointment. A $40.00 fee will be charged if you no call, no show for your pet\u2019s appointment. A $35.00 fee will be charged to the account if you cancel your appointment same day. As a courtesy to others, we reserve the right to reschedule your appointment if you are more than 10 minutes late. If you do happen to be running late, please notify us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Charges <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that the fees charged are just and fair. Unlike the human hospital, the facilities which are provided are entirely due to the private enterprise and investment in the community as well as the protection of the community\u2019s public health and welfare. Charges are based on our time, the need for hospitalization and services, and any medications needed for your pet. Payment in full is required upon releasing of the animal from the hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credit Policy<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may pay\nby cash, check, credit, and care credit. In order to avoid misunderstanding we\nurge that all fees be discussed with the doctor before services are performed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is our desire to be of service to your pet and you, to treat diseases, to offer information, advice and assistance whenever needed.
