Potter County Veterinary Clinic Opened New Addition Monday
| We have waited a LONG time for this moment and are so excited it has finally come… Our big expansion opened on Monday! We have eliminated the need to call to check in once you arrive at the clinic. Please, just come on in like you used to pre-covid. The biggest change is that WE HAVE BECOME FELINE FRIENDLY. What does being “feline friendly” mean??? In a nutshell, it means we do our very best not to scare our cat patients. We will strive to maintain a comfortable environment for them by minimizing the amount of stress they endure during their appointment. One of the MOST terrifying things for our cat patients in the past has been seeing, hearing, and smelling dogs. Of course we could not do anything about this before, but now, WE HAVE A DESIGNATED CAT-ONLY SIDE, AND A DESIGNATED DOG SIDE.  The original clinic is now reserved for CATS ONLY and the new addition is the dog side. We still plan to show just as much love to both dogs and cats, meanwhile providing a safer, more comfortable environment for as many patients as possible. By now you may be wondering, “What do I do if I’m bringing both my dog and my cat for a check-up at the same time?!?” … but don’t worry, we thought of this too. If you are bringing a dog and a cat, we ask that you enter into the dog side. Hopefully all our cat patients who already live with dogs will be no more fearful on the dog side than they were when we had no separation. If you are coming to the clinic without your pet, to pick up meds, flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, pet food, or to drop off a sample for testing, we ask that you use the original entrance, and enter the cat-only side to conduct these transactions. In addition to separating cats from dogs, our new additon contains: an expanded laboratory with way more workspace where we can do charting and research, a newly equipped treatment room, a modern O.R. featuring a separate preparation room, a very spacious kennel room with many more cages and runs than we had before, 9 new exam rooms, a grooming suite, an isolation ward, a comfort room, and WAY more storage than we had before. On top of all that, we have a finished garage for working on our bigger patients like horses, cows, sheep, and goats (to name a few). We are truly looking forward to better serving all of our patients come Monday. With that being said, we also ask for your patience and grace as we learn our new workflows and locations of all of the items we need throughout the day. Stay tuned for an announcement about our open house, which will be coming in the next few weeks. |
