Client Code Of Conduct Policy
Hog Mountain Animal Hospital strives to provide a welcoming and safe environment for our staff, clients, and patients. This allows us to ensure that we facilitate an environment of trust and respect for all people and pets. As such, the following behaviors displayed in our clinic and on our premises are strictly prohibited:
- Yelling or screaming at any employee for any reason
- Profanity
- Bullying, cyberbullying, libel, slander, defamation of character, or any combination thereof
- Any act or threat of violence
- Verbal, physical, or sexual harassment
- Intimidation tactics
- Failure to comply with requests from our staff, such as leashing/restraining your pet
- Demonstrating belligerent manner suggestive of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
We understand that emotions can run high when pets are ill or injured. At the same time, we cannot sacrifice our mental health and emotional well-being to help pets belonging to owners who are abusive to us and affect how we continue to perform a job that we love.
We hope that our clients will support this Code of Conduct and contribute to a peaceful, professional environment in which we can safely care for the pets in our community.
Boarding Policy
We offer boarding facilities for your pets. For your pet's protection, we do require that all boarders be up to date on core vaccines and labs, including rabies, DHPP, bordetella, and an intestinal parasite exam for dogs, and rabies and FVRCP for cats. In the event that your pet should become ill while under our care, we will take all necessary emergency action. We will make every effort to contact you. We ask that you leave an emergency phone number each time that you board your pet. Boarding charges begin on the day that the pet is brought in and continue each day until the day of pick-up. If the pet is picked up before noon or is being groomed/bathed on that day, there will be no boarding charge on the last day. If your pet is seen by a doctor, we may call you to discuss the exam unless you specify otherwise. If any fleas, ticks, or other parasites are observed, that pet will be treated for these parasites at the owner's expense.
