Welcome news to island pet owners! Full service veterinary care is now available directly on Sanibel.
HURRICANE UPDATE/New Phone Number
As many of you know, the clinic took a serious hit on September 28. It will likely be months before we reopen. People are slowly trickling back as services improve, but it will be a slog. While the x-ray and diagnostics were destroyed, I managed to salvage most meds before the hurricane hit. For this reason, I can perform limited house call service on the island. Vaccines will be coming soon and new diagnostic equipment will be ordered as soon as UPS delivery resumes. The situation is not ideal and services are limited, but most our visits are routine and can be handled on island. As there is no wifi, all transactions are by cash or check.
Many clients have needed prescription meds and diets from afar. If you scroll down on this page you will see Vetsource Online Pharmacy. Tap the icon and order your needed meds or food. Vetsource will email the prescription for my approval ASAP. Easy peezy. I am NOT authorizing prescriptions from other pharmacies as I am invariably placed on hold.
This is the end of the update. It is probably wishful thinking, but may your recovery be swift with minimal complication. Please call if we can help.
