Appointments-

The Carlisle Small Animal Veterinary Clinic is operated by appointments in order to allow ample time for all patients to be examined/treated, and for performing necessary surgical procedures. In as much as we make every effort to maintain an efficient schedule, a telephone call is appreciated if an appointment can't be kept. When an emergency arises or a severely ill patient needs treatment, it may be necessary to delay an appointment, but we will make every effort to see each patient in a timely manner and will be glad to assist you in rescheduling, should it be necessary.

Waiting Room Courtesy-

Animals are often uneasy about meeting new people and entering new environments. When you bring your pet into the clinic, it is necessary that it be restrained, either with a collar and leash, or in a pet carrier. Your pet, and the others in the waiting area will appreciate your consideration. If you have forgotten your leash or carrier, please ask the receptionist to borrow one of our "loaners" before bringing your pet in. If you think that your pet may have a contagious disease, please call the office with the details before arriving. It may be necessary to have your pet remain outside until the staff is prepared to receive it.

Telephone Consultations-

If you would like a personal telephone consultation with one of the doctors, please call during regular office hours and leave your name and number with a receptionist. If your pet is exhibiting any signs of an illness, please provide the pet's name and symptoms. If the doctors are seeing appointments, or in surgery, thay may not be able to return your call immediately, but will make every effort to do so at the first available opportunity.

Meet our office pets.

The kitten pictured below is one of our clinic pets. We call her "Tumbles".  She was brought in by a family that was traveling through the area. They had found her and couldn't take her home with them, but wanted to insure that she had good medical care. Tumbles has a neurological problem that causes her to be very uncoordinated and she will sometimes "tumble" around. This of course, is how she earned her name. She easily learned to adapt and has shown improvement in her condition. She is quite the inquisitive kitten and is very playful. She has "tumbled" her way into the hearts of many.

The Lovely "Lady' below is "Molly".

"Molly" is a Rottweiler. She belongs to Dr. Barnett.
