Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Please call us at 225-755-3838 to request an appointment or you can request via our website, or through the TeleVet Care Mobile App or widget here on our website. Our receptionists should get back to you to confirm your appointment by the next workday.

We understand that not everyone’s schedule allows them to make appointments during the day. We do offer a drop off service Monday-Friday. You can drop off your pet on Monday-Friday between 7:00 am - 12:00 pm, and we will take care of whatever they need. We will call or text you once your pet is ready to be picked up. You can drop them off for baths, wellness checks, yearly visits, rechecks, or if there is a new problem. Some clients even use this service for us to administer certain medications to their pets in the middle of the day when no one will be home to give these midday medicines.

Drop offs can be scheduled, but are also taken as a walk-in basis. Below is a link for our drop off form. You can download, print, and fill it out before you get to the clinic to save some time. Please provide as much information as possible on this form. It provides us great information about what has been going on at home. Since you are dropping your pet off you will not be there to ask any questions, the more thorough your answers the better. If your pet is being dropped off for bath, nails, etc., this form is not needed.

Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet during office hours, please call us or come straight to the hospital immediately.

We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening. If you feel your pet needs to be seen before you are able to get an appointment, our veterinarians will work to "squeeze" you in between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on how long you may have to wait in order to be seen, but expect there to be a wait. We will do our best to work you in between scheduled appointments as efficiently as possible. Please be patient and understanding. Emergencies and scheduled appointments have priority and will be seen before walk-ins.
