How Do I Make An Appointment?
Call 804-432-2534 to make an appointment
Appointments are scheduled from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday. Weekend, early morning and late evening appointments may also be available upon request.
House call appointments should be made in advance when at all possible as we try to schedule our days by geographic location ( of course emergencies are different ). If an emergency arises prior to your appointment time, we will call you concerning a possible delay.
Please have your pet inside at the appointment time. If your pet tends to hide when visitors come, please confine them to a small room ( i.e. bathroom ) before Dr. Dexter arrives.
What If I Have A Pet Medical Emergency?
Not all emergency situations are life threatening, as they are scary. We are equipped to handle many of these situations. Please call 804-432-2534 in the event of an emergency.
