Other updates at this time

• Dr. Beaulieu, Dr. Vail, and Dr. Ziebur (part time) are currently seeing patients.
• We are not accepting new clients at this time.
• Unfortunately, we are still unable to offer after-hours emergency visits at this time due to staffing constraints. We want to provide our clients and patients with competent medical care and compassion. Working 24 hours a day 7 days a week does not allow this to happen. Emergency service during normal business hours is available. However, if after hours or on weekends, please call Cornell University Hospital for Animals 607-253-3060 (Ithaca), Colonial VCA 607-257-3650 (Lansing), or Valley Veterinary Hospital 607-563-1345 (Sidney).
