Virginia Veterinary Disclosure Form:
Please read carefully before signing
Betty Baugh’s Animal Clinic is a full-service hospital providing a wide range of services including medical, surgical, and dental care. Our business and medical staffing hours are as follows:
Monday thru Friday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm
Saturday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm
The clinic is closed on Sunday’s and Holidays
We do not schedule a regular business or medical hours on Sunday’s or major holidays, but our staff is present to perform all necessary medical care as well as provide exercise, cleaning and feeding for all animals in the hospital.
This disclosure form is to inform you that we have no in-house, on duty continuous medical staff care:
Overnight, from closing time until opening time the next workday
Weekends, from closing time Saturday until opening on Monday morning
Holidays, from closing the day before the holiday until the opening on the workday following the holiday
However, veterinary care is provided every day (including Sundays and Holidays) during nonstaffed hours. In other words, at least one of our veterinarians is on call and assistants are responsible for periodic observation and treating our hospitalized patients as needed during nonstaffed hours. Twenty-four hour (24 hour) veterinary care is available at several local emergencies and specialty referral veterinary hospitals.
Our goal is to provide the best quality, full-service veterinary care available. Our veterinarians are dedicated to providing treatment for all hospitalized animals whenever required every day (and night) of the year. If you have any questions about this or any other matter related to your pet’s care please ask to speak with the veterinarian.
I have read this form and I am aware of the above staffing hours.
