At Highway 24, we realize that we need to have more than just a love for animals, because our patients almost always bring their owners too! We help people in a variety of ways:

We value their time. We appreciate how busy people are, so at the clinic we schedule consultations by appointment to reduce waiting time, but if an emergency arises we do what is necessary to ensure that care is available.

We keep them posted. We issue reminders as annual services are required--one less thing for our pets’ owners to keep track of.

We give people the real scoop, not the poop. Most people are bombarded with information from different sources, information about pet foods, preventive health care for pets, diseases and treatments. Our staff and veterinarians are here to help pet owners sift through it all to discern what facts have been validated by research, what theories have yet to be proved and those that are completely unfounded.

We could tell people not to worry. But we know they will. When pets get sick or injured, their people worry. Having an in-house laboratory allows most tests to be run the same day to reduce waiting time and allow people to focus on helping their pets feel better as soon as possible.

We listen. In addition to attending to their pets’ health, pet families need to consider the two-legged members of their family, their time constraints, family budget and a need to manage all of those aspects in a way that is best for them. Our staff and veterinarians are here to listen to pet owners’ concerns, discuss options and help make diagnostic and treatment plans with their input.

You’re Invited. The headings at the top of this page are invitations for people to learn about some of the topics on which we are often consulted, while our “WHAT’S UP DOC?” page is home to a growing library of pet health topics. Let us know if there is a topic you would like to see there.
