NOW HIRING! 
Are you a Veterinarian looking for a great place to live and work?
Our clients are the best and our team is like family.  At the base of Massanutten mountain, our little community has lots to offer (hiking, biking, golf, snow sports...all in a semi-rural setting), and tucked between Harrisonburg and Charlottesville there's plenty life all around.    If you're looking for a small privately owned practice that allows you room to grow as a veterinarian while encouraging a good work-life balance, we'd love to talk to you.  You can get more information or apply online at the AVMA Career Center
Looking for a full time Veterinary Assistant or Licensed Technician!!
We're looking for someone who can laugh and enjoy themselves while working hard to take care of our patients.  While we'd certainly preferred a trained and experienced LVT or assistant, we don't mind training the right candidate.  Apply here
UPDATE POLICIES & PROCEDURES - COVID-19
UPDATED 4/9/2022:  Open for ALL CARE, with Inside (masks required) &  Curbside service. 
                           CALL WHEN YOU ARRIVE IN THE PARKING LOT!!
    In light of our area's current low community transmission (via CDC Community Levels calculation), we are now encouraging 1 person to accompany their pet into the building for doctor appointments.  Because we are not able to increase air exchange and our space is very limited, we continue to ask that you wear a mask whenever you come into the building.  We also ask that you continue to call when you arrive in the parking lot so that we can control the flow of traffic through the waiting room, another limited space area for us.  See information below for specific details.  Our goal is to begin to return to a more normal flow of patient care while continuing to minimize risks as best we can for clients and staff, especially those who are at higher risk, or have family members at higher risk at hom.  We will continually evaluate both local positivity rate and client needs to assess when we can further relax (or potentially tighten) these measures.
​     
What does this mean for Clients & Patients?
We are still not accepting New Clients at this time.
Unfortunately, at this time due to staffing issues, we are still not be able to accept new clients.  We will reconsider this as soon as we can reach acceptable staffing level. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please do not come to the clinic if you have been exposed to COVID-19, have a fever or are exhibiting signs of illness
No one will be allowed to enter the building with any signs of illness or known exposure to COVID-19.  It is important to stay home if you are exhibiting signs of illness or have a fever.  Even if you do not have the COVID-19 virus, you may be more susceptible to it and should avoid public places like our clinic for your own safety.  You are welcome to send your pets in with a trusted neighbor, friend or family member.  We will contact you by phone for details and payment.

STEPS FOR YOUR CLINIC VISITS: 
  1. REMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE and CALL when you arrive.  This continues to be important for us to be able to manage traffic within the clinic in order to prevent congregating in our small spaces.
  2. Receptionist will review your needs and instruct you on how to proceed.​​​
  • For  doctor appointments (including euthanasia): the receptionist will get initial information, including cell phone you are calling from, and confirm what your pet needs while they are here.   We ask that you remain in the vehicle until you are instructed to come in.  
    • Once we are ready for you, an assistant/technician will call and let you know which room you will be seen in.  MASK IS REQUIRED, and ONLY ONE PERSON (exceptions can be made for specific situations on a case by case basis) may enter.  Please go directly to the room number you have been given.  Detailed history will be taken either on the phone, or in the room.  Once the appointment is complete, the assistant will either check you out in the room or refer you to the receptionist up front depending on other clinic traffic.  Again we strive to minimize congestion for everyone's safety.
    • If you prefer to remain curbside, an assistant will come out to retrieve your pet and get more detailed history.  ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  We ask that you stay in your car in the parking lot until we return your animal to you (unless you've been instructed to drop off).  Once inside the doctor will examine your pet (or perform other necessary procedures) and will then call you to discuss your pet.  Once all is complete, your pet will be returned to you and payment will be taken by the assistant or over the phone.
  • ​For technician appointments (pedicures, anal glands, blood draws, etc):  the receptionist will get initial information.  You will remain in the car, and an assistant/technician will come out to retrieve your pet.  As with curbside appointments, ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  For drop-off appointments the doctor will call you later to discuss diagnosis and treatment plans, so please be sure to leave a number at which you can be easily reached.  At this point, you may be asked to come into the reception area to check out while the appointment is handled in the back, or the assistant will ask you to stay in your vehicle and they will handle payment when they bring your pet back to you.  This will depend on traffic in the waiting room.
  • ​For surgery and drop-off appointments:  the receptionist will get initial information and then an assistant or technician will call you to go over any necessary paperwork.  An assistant will then come out to retrieve your pet.  As with curbside appointments, ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  For drop-off appointments the doctor will call you later to discuss diagnosis and treatment plans, so please be sure to leave a number at which you can be easily reached.
  • For patient pickup:  Receptionist will take payment over the phone, and then an assistant will bring your pet out to you and review any instructions from the doctor.  If there is available room in the clinic, we may ask that you come in (masked) to check out and receive instructions.
  • For prescription/food pickup: Most of the time, the receptionist will verify your purchase and take payment over the phone, and then an assistant will bring your items to your car.  If in-clinic traffic permits, you may be asked to come in to purchase/pickup your items. 

Clients are encouraged to fill multiple months of prescription meds when possible.
Decreasing the number of visits by people to the clinic over time is an important way that we can limit community spread.  We will be encouraging people to pick up 2-3 months worth of any medication they give their pets on a regular basis whenever possible (Supply may sometimes limit this, but we are striving to keep everything we need on hand.)  Prescription pickup will be handled curbside (as above).

What does this mean for our Staff?
Staff will be wearing masks when interacting with clients & ask that you do the same.
Masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.  We do not feel that we can or should ask for verification of vaccine status.  We have chosen instead to require the same for everyone.  If someone can not wear a mask or prefers not to, they are welcome to take advantage of our curbside service instead.

COVID-19 Vaccination, Illness and our Staff
While many members of our staff have taken advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated, not all have chosen to do such.  We have not and will not require vaccination of any employee.  This is one of the main reasons it is important for us to continue to require masks and be vigilant for signs of disease.  We will follow all CDC guidelines on determining employee quarantine, testing and return to work in order to protect ourselves and the community.

Increased hand washing & cleaning during the day.
This applies to everyone, including our receptionists.  Staff will continue to wash hands before and after every appointment.   We have always worked hard to keep things very clean in our clinic with regular surface cleaning between appointments and daily mopping.  We will be increasing in-clinic mopping and extra surface cleaning to at least twice daily, and will incorporate surfaces such as doorknobs, chairs, etc.  Our cleaning solutions (Rocal & Odoban) are effective against the COVID-19 virus, so mopping the floor to remove any aerosolized droplets that have fallen to the floor and wiping surfaces like tables, counters and doorknobs at least twice daily will further decrease potential exposure and spread.
