What if I have an EMERGENCY?
Vernon Woods Animal Hospital was established in 1973. We have been an accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) since 1984.
AAHA sets high standards for veterinary care so only a small percentage of animal hospitals are able to achieve accreditation. To maintain our status, we are routinely evaluated to make sure that our facilities, equipment and protocols are of the highest quality.
We have eight veterinarians on staff and offer a complete range of services—medical, surgical, boarding, and grooming.
Our gallery includes pictures of:
- Our boarding facilities
- Our front desk area
- Our grooming facilities
- Miscellaneous clinic shots
- Our client's pets
- Services we take pride in providing
- Our state-of-the-art surgery facilities
We check our email every 48-72 hours. Please feel free to submit questions, appointment and prescription requests. On-line requests are a new service for us so please be patient while we make needed adjustments.
For prescription refills, please allow 48-72 hours. If you have not heard from us by phone or email within that time, please call.
We do not take appointment requests over email for same-day appointments. If you do not hear from us before 5pm on the day that a request is submitted, please call.
