We will call back to let you know when your refill is ready for RX pick up and to schedule a mutually agreeable appointment for such a pickup.
Specimens for laboratory testing must be dropped off after 1PM. Laboratory tests are run in afternoon or sent out. Always call before coming in. Hours vary.
We will keep you updated on any changes related to any interruptions about veterinary care on this webpage.
Always call first! Despite "the end of COVID" we will still be implementing the same high level of sanitization to our already strict operating procedures This may affect the hours we are opening for appointments.
Urgent care appointments available but call before coming in to make sure not too many people are waiting.
As always, rooms are disinfected between patients with a healthcare grade disinfectant. The place is small making it easy to clean or sanitize. We are maintaining the same level of sanitization as during the outbreak. This allows us to continue to provide a safe and clean environment for all of us (owners, pets and staff)
We still have a no handshake policy.
Please, constantly check the open hours and services that are available on particular days on this webpage for any last-minute changes.
THANK YOU for working with us to take care of your pets in the safest way.

Regarding "urgent care appointments":
Most of the time, a veterinarian is within the boundary of the hospital during the hours that the veterinary hospital is open except Wednesdays (technicians only).
"Urgent care" is defined as a sickness for which you would like to have your pet seen as soon as possible. In many cases such urgent care are not life threatening emergencies. Contact a veterinary hospital in case you are unsure if it is an emergency or urgent care. Many times we can accommodate our regular member clients for urgent care as soon as possible, walk-ins may have a wait . Life threatening emergencies cases are triaged from urgent care and are referred to emergencies and trauma centers ( higher level of care for such emergencies than Urgent Care Centers like Fairmount Animal Hospital can provide). In the event we are unable see your pet for an urgent care, you may be referred to the university of Pennsylvania Emergency and Trauma center that is located not too far from us.
