A Friendly Reminder to Keep All Pets Safe!
At Prosser Animal Hospital the safety of our patients, clients, and staff is always a top priority!
We kindly ask that ALL dogs arrive on a secure leash (if retractable please keep it locked) & they cannot slip out of their collars and ALL cats arrive in a secure carrier when visiting our clinic.
Dogs: Even the friendliest, most well-behaved dogs can become nervous, frightened, or reactive in an unfamiliar environment. Keeping your dog leashed helps prevent unexpected interactions, escapes, and potential injuries.
Cats: Cats must be transported in a secure carrier. Vet visits can be stressful, and unfamiliar sounds, smells, and other animals can cause even the calmest cats to panic. A carrier helps prevent escapes, injuries, and unnecessary stress. Unfortunately we have had many cats escape or become very scared in our lobby and end up hurting their owner.
Why is this so important?
We see pets of all personalities, sizes, and temperaments. Some may be anxious, fearful, reactive, or recovering from an illness or injury. Even a brief unexpected interaction can create a dangerous situation.
Our clinic is also placed by a very busy road, having your pet in a carrier or leashed helps ensure their safety.
For everyone’s safety, please keep your pets properly secured from the moment you leave your vehicle until you return to it.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to provide a safe, comfortable environment for every pet & owner that walks through our doors!
