​TRANSPARENCIES AND CLARIFICATIONS

​Urgent care appointments available during open hours only

URGENT CARE vs EMERGENCIES:

Regarding "urgent care appointments":


"Urgent care" is defined as a sickness for which you would like to have your pet seen as soon as possible. Many times we can accommodate our regular clients for urgent care as soon as possible, walk-ins may have a wait.  In the event we are unable to do so you may be referred to the university of Pennsylvania Emergency and Trauma center that is located not too far from us (see below). 


For your information, pet care records and emergency care records are transmitted daily between the University of Pennsylvania and the Fairmount Animal Hospital. There is an excellent communication between veterinarians from both hospitals.  


Regarding "emergency appointments/ urgent care " and other emergency services(*):


Most of the time, a veterinarian is within the boundary of the hospital during the hours that the veterinary hospital is open except Wednesdays (technicians only) Walk-in accepted but may have a wait during veterinarians' appointments hours.


If you feel that your pet is undergoing an emergency, we ask that you call ahead to discuss the problem if possible. We are not a specialized emergency practice, but can provide urgent care treatment . For further information on our urgent care service availability, please first contact us directly.


If you feel that your pet is undergoing a life threatening emergency when our veterinary hospital is closed, we recommend that you contact the University of Pennsylvania's Veterinary Emergency Trauma Center  (Phone: 215-746-8911)  as they are one of the leading life threatening emergency / trauma center & services in this region. They are located at 39th & Spruce Streets in Philadelphia (+/- 15-20 blocks from the Fairmount Animal Hospital ). Do not wait all night long.


* Our veterinarians see exotic animals by appointment only.  Please note that all exotic animals’ emergencies and severe life threatening emergencies will be referred to the university of Pennsylvania.​

Sundays, after hours (nights) and holidays emergencies are handled by our colleagues 

of the Univ. of Penn vet school's emergency and trauma center.

Related to: Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and hospital plan ( please read to help us be in tune): 


We will keep you updated on any changes related to any interruptions about veterinary care on this webpage. 

Always call first!  As per guidance we are limiting staffing to the strict minimum to continue business operation. In some days only the veterinarian will be in only for a few hours. Additional sanitizations to our already strict operating procedures will sometimes cause us to close the animal hospital certain afternoons. This affect the hours we are opening. 

During the outbreak we will be working by appointments "one at the time" only. Urgent care appointment will still be seen on a limited basis. Please call first.

We have a specific protocol to insure that clients are protected and that we are protected too.  Other than the hospital staff, only the pets are allowed in the hospital.   We are requesting that client wait outside or walk around.  Once the pet health issue is addressed, the veterinarian will contact the owner by cell phone to discuss what to do and to answer any questions.  . 

As always, rooms are disinfected between patients with a healthcare grade disinfectant.  The place is small making it easy to clean or sanitize.  We are taking additional steps and follow the guidance related to the outbreak in order to continue to provide a safe and clean environment for all of us (owners, pets and staff)
 
For prescription food pick up, you can call first and stay in your car in front of the hospital.  Call us, we may be able to hand deliver it to your car. If you are sick let us know before so we can take adequate extra precautions. 

As always, rooms are disinfected between patients with a healthcare grade disinfectant. The place is small making it easy to clean or sanitize. We are taking additional steps and follow the guidance related to the outbreak and continue to provide a safe and clean environment.

We have a no handshake policy. 

Please, constantly check the open hours on this webpage.  

THANK YOU for working with us to take care of your pets in the safest way.
