Highland Animal Hospital

Hospital Policies

Here you’ll find information about all of our most important hospital policies, from appointments and arrivals to accepted payments, prescription procedures, and more!

Appointment Policy

To keep appointments running smoothly and prevent lengthy wait times, we operate by scheduled appointments.

If your pet needs urgent medical care, we’ll see them right away during open office hours. If at all possible, please give us a call on your way so we’re best prepared for your arrival. If your pet needs urgent medical care outside of normal office hours, we direct you to one of the following trusted emergency locations.

Arrival Policy

For the safety and comfort of all patients, clients, and team members, we require that all pets arrive properly restrained. Dogs must arrive on a leash, and cats and exotic pets must be in secure carriers.

If you suspect your pet may have an infectious condition like kennel cough or Parvovirus, please let us know prior to your scheduled appointment. This will give us time to make special arrangements for your pet, and prevent the spread of disease to other patients.

New Clients

If you’re not yet a client of ours, we hope to meet you soon! You and your pet are always welcome at Highland Animal Hospital.

If you would like to schedule your pet’s first visit, call us at 781-433-0467. We also encourage you to complete a new client form prior to your pet’s visit to expedite the check in process.

Prescription Refills

For your convenience and the betterment of your pet, our facility carries a wide range of prescriptions.

To call in a prescription refill request, please call (781) 433-0467 and ask for the pharmacy. Our pharmacy checks messages Monday-Friday at 1PM. Once your pet’s prescription is authorized by one of our veterinarians, it will be ready for pick-up at 4PM the same day.
