Waiting Time:

I understand your time is valuable and endeavor to adhere to the appointment schedule. However, as I am committed to providing a comprehensive professional service to all clients, appointments often continue beyond the scheduled time. Also, emergencies do occur and are unpredictable. I ask for your understanding and compassion in these matters. I do recommend that you book adequate time and allow for delays with regards to other engagements after your clinic appointment.

Should your time commitments be pressing, please ring to check whether the vet is running on time before attending.
