Winter Storm Blair: Monday, January 6th, 2025

We are expecting a significant snowstorm tomorrow, Monday, January 6th with snow accumulation that is expected to be 6 inches or more.    We are not sure what the road conditions will be nor how many (if any) of our staff will be able to safely make it into work.   So, before coming into our office tomorrow morning for any reason, please call and talk to a live person first to make sure our office will/can be open.  There is a fairly high chance that we will be rescheduling all of our morning appointments, and the afternoon and evening schedule will be decided as the day progresses.   If you have an emergency which cannot wait, the local animal ERs and Urgent Care facilities are listed on our website.  You can leave a message on our office voicemail (which will be checked when staff are safely able to come in) and also reach us by email (info@palmernanimalhospital.net).

Happy New Year!!
