Patient Arrival Policy
For your protection, and that of others, all dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled while in the waiting area or exam rooms. All cats must be presented in an appropriate cat carrier or on a leash.
Patient Procedures
Surgery, dentistry, and sometimes radiographs require sedation or anesthesia in order to prevent stress and pain. It is important that you withhold food and water after midnight the night before your pet's scheduled procedure. Please arrive at Island Bird Cat & Dog Veterinary Group between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. If you need to drop off your pet the evening before, there is no boarding fee.
