A message from our Medical Director, Dr. Kunz:
Dear Clients of VCA Animal Hospitals,
We want you to know that we appreciate your patience. We know how hard being on hold is, even before COVID-19.
We have 9 phone lines and have never experienced this incredible volume of incoming calls. In addition, we are unable to make outbound calls when all of our phone lines are in use. We are working as quickly as we can to assist you and your pets.
Please be understanding of our client service team. They have the toughest job here.
Thank you for your understanding and patience,
Dr. Doug Kunz
Medical Director, VCA Desert Animal Hospital
We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
Please help us find this beautiful and much loved black cat who went missing from the VCA Valley Parking lot in Indio. He is four years old, microchipped, and may be showing lameness in his injured left back paw. If you have any information, please call us at 760-342-4711. His pet parent of 4 years is missing him desperately.
Thank you so much!
