Missed Appointment Policy:
Our main goal is to provide quality, compassionate care for your companion. No-shows, late arrivals, and last-minute cancellations inconvenience those individuals who need access to veterinary care and prevent our staff from providing you with the attention you and your pets deserve.
Cancellation of an appointment:
A veterinary / client relationship is built on mutual trust and respect. As such, we strive to be on time for your scheduled appointments and ask that you give us the courtesy of a call when you are unable to keep your appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who is in need of treatment. We provide reminder calls the day before your appointment, as well as automated emails and texts.
How to cancel your appointment:
To cancel your appointment, please call 831-475-1479 or email us at
[email protected]
Late Cancellations:
A cancellation is considered to be late when the appointment is cancelled without 24-hour advance notice.
No Show Policy:
Our "no-show” policy applies when a client misses an appointment without cancelling it or fails to give more than 24-hour notice. Failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment is documented. This includes late arrivals of 10 minutes or more from your scheduled appointment time.
We understand that everybody has “one of those days” where an appointment may need to be cancelled at the last minute. Please call our office to let us know that you will be unable to make your scheduled appointment time.
If a client has three consecutive “no-show” appointments or shows a pattern of missed/late appointments, they will be required to pre-pay for their next exam fee. The deposit will be forfeited if the appointment is missed or not cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice prior to the appointment.
