Welcome to theFredonia Animal Hospital
Your veterinarians in western New York State!
Call us today! 716-679-1561

IMPORTANT: If you have symptoms of COVID, have been exposed to someone with symptoms, or are in quarantine for any reason, please do not come to our hospital. Be honest with our staff. Make arrangements for someone else to bring your pet in for the time being. 

Boarding: We are currently boarding only cats. Our surgery and treatment schedule is very busy during the week leaving no room for boarding dogs. Boarding for dogs that are current patients with multiple medical needs is done on a case by case basis, space and staff permitting. 

No walk ins. Patients seen by appointments only.

Appointments: Nationwide, animal hospitals and clinics have seen a huge increase of new patients while also dealing with staffing shortages (doctors, technicians as well as all highly trained staff). It is no different here in Chautauqua County. When calling for an appointment, availability for well visits and vaccinations may be anywhere from one to three weeks. Getting you in the same day, or even week, won't happen as we already have each appointment filled well in advance or with patients with critical needs. Please plan accordingly. 

Emergencies: If you are an established client, we have seen your pet before and they are ill or injured, we will do our best to get you in when you call. Please understand that our schedule every single day is double booked with only one doctor. We are doing our best. Please be patient with our staff. They cannot make more hours in a day or create more doctors. 

We are taking the following steps to protect clients and staff: 

Thoroughly sanitizing as recommended by the CDC and the American Veterinary Medical Association with approved virucidal, bactericidal and fungicidal products safe for animals and people throughout the day and in between each appointment.

Hand sanitizer available to staff and clients in every room including a touchless station in the entryway.

Frequent cleaning of all surfaces including doors, counters, handles, seating areas, tables and electronics.

We require face MASKS be worn over mouth and nose by ALL in EXAM ROOMS, including children ages 3+ and those who have been vaccinated. Our exam rooms are small, and Covid is BIG. If you do not have a mask we are happy to provide one to you at no cost.

Please call ahead for medication and food refills to give our busy staff the time and attention needed. When arriving to pick up, no need to call. Come right on in. Please just one person per pick up as our reception area is small. 

When arriving for appointment, call from your car to check in and tell us what number parking space you are in. Your car is the waiting room! Please only park in a numbered spot and not off to the side or in front of the building. Each spot is numbered 1-9 with our phone number. If an exam room is available, we will have you come in and go directly into a room. If need be, we may ask you to wait in the comfort of your own car and we'll call you when a room is ready. Feel free to walk your leashed dog on our large yard and sit on the bench by the flower pots. Listen to music in your car. Dance in your seat. We won't judge!!

Also, make sure that you are in the right state. There are a couple other clinics with our name in the midwest. We get calls from people saying they are waiting in our parking lot and no one is there. The same happens to these other hospitals. It gives us a chuckle, but please call the number on the sign in front of you. Siri, on your iPhone, might be having a bad year.

This is a busy and dangerous highway. PLEASE make sure your dog is leashed and your cat is in a secure carrier.

Please pay attention to the distance markers on the floor and walls and stand where indicated. If you do not wish to come into the waiting room while someone else is here, feel free to wait on the bench in the waiting area away from the doors. 

We are truly doing our best to stay stocked with medication and supplies, but every medical industry - veterinary and human - is having issues with availability, raw materials and shipping. Some items may be delayed due to back orders, some may be allocated only to human medicine temporarily, or they may be in transit which has been unpredictable and slow. Once things are in the hands of shippers, neither us or the distributers can do anything.

Hours:

Monday - Friday 8am to 6pm

Saturdays 8am to noon
(Closed some Saturdays. Call ahead)

Closed Saturday afternoons and Sunday.

Finally, we are asking for your patience and understanding. Your kindness and good manners. 

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.
