Winter Storm—Monday, Feb 23, 2026

by

With the winter storm that started yesterday and currently going strong through the evening hours, it is questionable what weather and road conditions will be like in the morning. While I am typing this post, snow is just starting to stick to our parking lot, but there are local places with much more snow (there is 6 inches at my house on South Mountain). So, if there is any question as to whether driving conditions are safe, please wait until you can reach a live staff member at our office before coming in. I believe we will be open on Monday, but unsure how many of our staff will be affected by the snow. STAY SAFE & WARM!

CLOSED: Monday Morning, January 26, 2026

We will be closed on Monday morning, January 26th due to the recent Winter Storm over the weekend as we need to get our driveway and parking lot cleared, and also due to the restricted ability of staff to commute to work.

We tentatively plan on being open Monday at Noon pending weather conditions and clean-up progress.

We have cancelled all morning appointments, surgeries and procedures. If you had an appointment you should have gotten a text message from our office manager, Brenda, and a 2nd notice when the appointments were cancelled on our schedule.

If you need to contact us during this time, you can leave a message on our phone system or send us an email (to info@palmeranimalhospital.net).

We hope everyone has stayed safe during this massive storm.
