New Cancellation Policy Effective September 25
Effective September 25, 2009 The Family Pet will be charging the full appointment fee for any appointments missed or cancelled without 24 hours prior notice. This will also apply to late showing clients who have missed more than half of their appointment. Surgeries require a 48 hour cancellation notice and will be billed 10% of the total estimated cost for any missed appointments.
You will be sent a written notice the first time this happens and be charged if it occurs on subsequent appointments.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Family Pet
