Service Animals

At Uniacke Lakes Animal Hospital, we have a deep connection with service dogs and their organizations and we understand that many clients have these dogs as important members of their family. We are proud to offer preferred rates to registered service dogs. Please ask us for details at any time. 

In order to enhance your experience at Uniacke Lakes Animal Hospital, we recognize that these animals are used for medical purposes and are very important to the well-being of their handlers. With this in mind, we strive to achieve the best care possible so your service animal is healthy and ready for work.

Ways we can help include:
  1. You can call from the parking lot and enter our building through a private door in order to avoid any other clients or animals in our waiting room. This can help to drastically decrease noise and light stimulation.
  2. Our private exam rooms have low lighting, increased floor space and are farther away from the action of the reception area. 
  3. We have team members who have had specialty training in the area of service dogs who can facilitate any special requests that might be needed. 
  4. We respect service dogs and their handlers. We will ask for permission before working with the dog, offering treats, or moving the animal from the room.  
  5. We happily provide services with the handler present, such as nail trims, anal gland expression, or blood draws. We can even have the handler wait directly outside of the diagnostic imaging area should x-rays need to be taken.
