What happens when scheduling an appointment?
Once you have scheduled with our phone team you will immediately receive a confirmation email for the appointment. On the day of the appointment, you will receive three additional emails from our team: a reminder for the appointment, an email with a link to our Euthanasia Consent Form, and lastly an email with a payment link.
Can we take care of paperwork and consent before the appointment?
It is helpful to have the consent form and payment taken care of ahead of time so that our doctor can focus on your pet’s care as soon as they arrive. A member of our team will call or text you about an hour before the appointment to inform you of the doctor’s arrival time, to confirm that your consent and payment were received, and allow you to ask any questions you may have. If you do not have email and/or wish to pay with cash/check –the doctor will have you sign a paper consent form and accept payment upon their arrival.
