Appointment Guidelines

For your convenience and to ensure that your pet is seen in a timely manner, please make an appointment for your pet to be seen by one of our Doctors.

Please make all appointments by calling 763-295-3410.

Should you arrive 15 minutes late or more to your appointment you will likely be asked to reschedule.

Please call our office immediately if you cannot keep an existing appointment. This courtesy will allow us to serve others more effectively.

Please ensure your pet’s medical records are sent to us before your appointment so our doctors have time to review them and become familiar with your pet.
