For your information:

Our hospital is closed on Sundays; no pick ups or admissions. Staff members provide scheduled care in shifts during the weekend or holidays when the office is closed.

We are not a Hurricane Season Shelter; please plan ahead for evacuation of your pet. I have read the Boarding Pet Care Agreement and give lake Seminole Animal Hospital permission to treat my pet should illness or injury occur. Every effort will be made to reach you; if unable to reach you treatment will be administered and the cost of treatment will be my responsibility. I acknowledge the boarding rates to be charged by night. My pet meets the boarding requirements for vaccination as indicated in my pet's record presented to, or maintained by staff. I understand that current information will need to be provided to the staff for every visit of boarding services.

2021 Hurricane Season Evacuation Information

To the best of our ability, we will provide care for your pet , as well as to our staff who may voluntarily evacuate if advised by authorities. Our location is Zone B, and may not provide adequate protection for your pet in the event of a disaster. When the County issues Mandatory Evacuations for Zone B, we will comply and evacuate our facility.

Therefore, it is required with every boarding event during the season, you, the pet owner or agent, provide us with the name and phone number of the person who is responsible for picking up your pet from our facility in the event of mandatory evacuation if you cannot return to do so within 4 hours of first notification.
