Covid-19 Update

We want to reassure you that Amici Pet Hospital is here for you and your pet during this uncertain time. We also want to protect our staff and community while we continue to serve you and your pets' needs. We are closely following the federal and local government recommendations and understand that they are constantly evolving. We will tailor our protocols accordingly. We plan to stay open during our regular business hours and continue to see appointments. However, to minimize risks for our staff and you, we ask that you call us from your car once you arrive in the parking lot and we will provide curbside service to help us comply with social distancing protocols. The doctor will call you after examining your pet and a technician will escort your pet back out to your car. We wish your and your family health and safety, The Amici Pet Hospital Staff
