GIVING YOUR PET A EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT TO US!

CALL US: (301) 733-7579 REQUEST APPOINTMENT

Fear Free Check-in: Once you have arrived in our parking lot, please CHECK-IN through our FunkstownVet App, by visiting https://go.v2p.us/l/5IKg or by calling 301-733-7579 to let us know you are here.  If you do not have a cell phone each door has a call box that you can speak directly with a member of our CSR team.  Once it is time for your appointment a technician will call you prior to entering the building and will escort you directly into an exam room. 

Why:  Pets can experience anxiety or fear when exposed to unfamiliar animals and people. It's often easier and more beneficial for your pet to avoid such stressful situations altogether rather than attempting to calm them down afterward.

Fear Free Exam Rooms: We have implemented numerous measures to establish a fear-free environment for our patients. Utilizing soft music and pheromones helps in creating a calming atmosphere. Treats are employed to foster positive experiences. Additionally, we may find the need to limit the number of individuals present in an exam room with your pet. This may involve limiting the number of pet parents accompanying a pet into the exam room, asking someone to briefly step out of the room, or suggesting curbside visits for those with accompanying children. These adjustments are aimed at ensuring the comfort and well-being of our furry patients during their visit.

Why: When faced with unfamiliar, frightening, or stressful situations, pets often instinctively retreat. We aim to provide them with the opportunity to withdraw from what's new or intimidating, enabling them to gradually acclimate and find comfort at their own pace.  

Curbside Services are offered for:

• Those showing signs and symptoms of cold or flu.
• Those with small children.
• Any pet owner that prefers Curbside or pet parents of Protective pets

Why: Not all pets thrive with their pet parent present. Some pets exhibit heightened protectiveness over their owners and may feel more at ease when they don't sense an immediate need to safeguard their human family.

Medication pickups:

It is recommended to call prior to arrival to finalize payment.  Once you have arrived, call 301-733-7579 to let us know you are here.  A staff member will bring your medication to you.  Arrangements can also be made to have the medication ready in a pickup box located at the main glass door entrance from our parking lot.
