The pandemic and the rise of pet ownership in the US has resulted in burnout at many veterinary hospitals across the country.
Vet work is fast-paced and oftentimes entails finishing late or being on-call over nights and during the weekends. The hours are long, and the lifestyle can take away time for hobbies, family, and even social life. This is why veterinary well-being should be prioritized by many practices across the country.
Excited to get a new puppy? Bringing in a new dog into your home requires a lot of planning. Before you adopt a puppy, you normally have to prepare treats and food, bowls for water and food, a leash and collar, a dog bed, some safe toys for your puppy, even down to talking to your family to make sure they don’t get over excited once the new puppy arrives so you can train it properly.
We have updated our new emergency hours beginning August 16, 2021. While it is not the best case scenario for us, we had to make some more adjustments to our operation hours given the challenges in staffing. The setback in staffing is something that is experienced not just in our clinic but across the country.
Everyone enjoys the summer season. Swimming, hanging out by your deck with family and friends, even doing fun activities all throughout the day. When it’s warm outside, you’re not the only one craving fun times.
Northway Veterinary Hospital (NVH), formerly known as Northway Animal Emergency
Due to unforeseen staffing challenges, we have had to make some changes and adjustments to our emergency department hours of operation. We want to be able to serve the community to the best of our ability when your regular veterinarian is closed. However, in order to offer the best possible care, we need to have appropriate staffing levels.
Due to the continued concerns over the Corona Virus in the community, we have decided to keep our waiting room closed to clients for the foreseeable future and continue our curbside service. We know that this creates frustration that you are not able to accompany your pet inside our building, but we are committed to doing everything we can to reduce the spread and risk to our staff, clients and the community
Northway Animal Emergency Clinic will remain open 24/7 to accommodate any emergencies your pet may have.
While we are all trying to navigate these changes together we wanted to let you know what you can expect if it is necessary to bring your pet to our hospital.
