cat WE’RE REOPENING!

We are so excited to announce that we will officially be reopening with limited capacity on Wednesday, August 26th!
After being unexpectedly closed due to the flood damage our hospital sustained, we are incredibly grateful for your patience, understanding, and support while we worked hard to get everything back in order. Our team is so excited to be back and caring for your beloved pets!
We will be reopening our phones and scheduling appointments as we return to normal operations.
Please note that we are currently unable to perform surgeries due to equipment damage sustained during the flooding. We are working to get the necessary equipment replaced and will provide an update as soon as we are able to resume surgical services.
Thank you for sticking with us through this unexpected time. We truly appreciate our amazing clients and can’t wait to see you and your furry family members again!

Updated No-Show Policy:

Your appointment time is reserved with the doctor. Failure to keep this appointment limits our ability to care for other pets in need.  We do not charge a cancellation fee. However, if you fail to keep a reserved appointment time and do not call in advance, you will be required to pre-pay the exam fee as a deposit for future appointments. This deposit will be applied to the cost of your visit if the appointment is kept. If the appointment is not cancelled in a timely manner, the deposit will be forfeited, and you will be required to pay another deposit in order to schedule again.

 

 

At Upshur Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to providing quality care at every stage of your pet's life. From routine preventive care to early detection and treatment of a wide range of conditions and diseases, we have the expertise to provide the care your pet needs at every stage of life.
