Client Code of Conduct
At Wisdom Animal Hospital, we are honored to be your trusted partner in your pet’s lifelong health journey. To ensure a positive experience for all pets, owners, and staff, we ask all clients to uphold the following standards:
We Promise to:
- Treat you and your pet with compassion, respect, and personalized care.
- Provide clear communication, trustworthy recommendations, and transparent pricing.
- Empower you with information and support to make the best decisions for your pet’s health.
- Foster a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment.
- Continuously strive for excellence in veterinary medicine and client service.
We Ask You to:
- Treat our team members, other clients, and patients with courtesy and respect.
- Communicate openly and ask questions if you need clarification.
- Follow agreed-upon treatment plans and provide accurate information about your pet’s health.
- Arrive on time for appointments or notify us promptly if you need to cancel or reschedule.
- Meet financial obligations at the time services are provided.
- Extend patience and understanding if emergencies or unforeseen delays arise.
- Bring any concerns to our attention so we can work together to address them.
Appointment and Attendance Policies:
- Late Arrivals: Clients arriving 10 (or more) minutes late may need to reschedule to avoid disrupting care for others.
- Cancellations: Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. You can call or text us at (504) 571-5128 anytime to notify us. Any notification that is less than 24 hours in advance is considered a late cancellation and you may be required to pay a non-refundable booking fee in order to schedule another appointment.
- No-Shows: A failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment will be recorded in the patient’s chart as a “no-show”. You will be required to pay a non-refundable booking fee equal to the exam fee ($60.50) in order to schedule another appointment. This will apply as a credit at checkout if the appointment is kept. Rescheduled but missed/no-show or late-cancelled appointments will forfeit the booking fee.
- New Patient Appointments: A non-refundable booking fee equal to the exam fee ($60.50) is required to schedule. It will apply as a credit at checkout if the appointment is kept. Missed or late-cancelled new patient appointments will forfeit the booking fee.
