VIRGINIA VETERINARY DISCLOSURE FORM
It is required by Virginia Law that the owner of any animal left at a veterinary hospital in the Commonwealth of Virginia read and sign this form.
Lake Anna Veterinary Hospital 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 and Thursday: 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
Saturday: 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
We do not schedule regular business hours on Sundays or Major Holidays, but our veterinary and support staff are present to perform all necessary medical care as well as provide exercise, cleaning and feeding for all animals in the hospital.
Therefore, this is to inform you that we have no in-house, on-duty continuous medical staff care during the following times:
(1) Overnight from closing time at 6:00 pm or 7:30 pm until opening time at 7:30 am during the week and 9:00 am on Saturdays.
(2) Weekends from closing time Saturday at 12:30 pm to until opening time on Monday morning at 7:30 am.
(3) Holidays from closing time before the holiday at 6:00 pm or 7:30 pm until opening time the day after the holiday at 7:30 am.
(4) Holidays falling on Monday, from closing time on Saturday at 12:30 pm until opening time on Tuesday at 7:30 am.
However, veterinary care is provided every day (including Sundays and holidays) during non-staffed hours. In other words, at least one of our veterinarians is responsible for observing and treating our hospitalized patients as needed during all non-staffed hours. The frequency of these visits is determined by the veterinarian on duty. Around the clock veterinary care is available at VRCC in Manakin Sabot Virginia, CARE in Fredericksburg or another after hours/24 hour facility of your choice. This service may be recommended to you by our veterinarians or you may request this service at any time. 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 relating to your pets care, please ask to speak with the veterinarian.
I have read this disclosure and I am aware of the above staffing hours.
