GIVING YOUR PET A FEAR FREE EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT TO US!
Fear Free Check-In: Upon arrival, please check in using the FunkstownVet App Check-In , or by calling us at 301-733-7579. For those without a cell phone, please use the call box at each door to reach our Customer Service Representatives. Once ready, a technician will contact you to escort you and your pet directly into an exam room.
Why this matters: Minimizing exposure to unfamiliar animals and people reduces anxiety and stress in pets, promoting a more positive experience.
Fear Free Exam Rooms: Our exam rooms are designed to be a sanctuary of calm with soft music, soothing pheromones, and treats to encourage positive associations. To maintain this atmosphere, we may limit the number of people accompanying your pet
Why this matters: This approach allows pets to retreat from stressors and adjust at their own pace, ensuring a more comfortable visit
Curbside Services: We offer curbside services for anyone displaying cold or flu symptoms, those with small children, or pet owners who prefer this option, including those with protective pets.
Why this matters :Some pets are more relaxed and easier to manage without their owners present, especially if they tend to be protective.
Online Forms: To streamline your visit, please complete the appropriate online health questionnaires before your appointment:
Technician Visits (Curbside): Technician appointments such as vaccinations or routine treatments are exclusively curbside. Check in as described above, and a technician will consult with you before taking your pet for treatment. Medication Pickups: Please call ahead to arrange payment. Upon arrival, call us, and a staff member will deliver your pet’s medication to your car. Medication can also be picked up at our designated pickup box by the main entrance.
Surgery Patients: After checking in, a technician will discuss your pet’s upcoming procedure and review the surgical consent forms, which we mail in advance for your convenience. Please ensure these forms are completed before your pet’s surgery date. They are also available for download on our website - surgical consent form.
By prioritizing a Fear Free environment, we aim to make every visit to Animal Health Clinic of Funkstown a positive experience for you and your pet.
