Policy & Information

Our office accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express, and Apple Pay. We do not accept checks.

In addition, we also offer several 3rd party financing options for our clients via Care Credit and Scratchpay. We accept a variety of Care Credit plans based on the total transaction amount for your pet. Care Credit requires that payment only be made for services as they are rendered, we cannot charge services to your account in advance.

As the above financing options are offered, we cannot offer additional in-house payment plans for our services. Clients needing additional financial support are encouraged to apply for Care Credit with a co-signer. Full payment is due prior to services being rendered. Our team will provide every client with a written treatment plan of our recommendations to review and approve, and payment will be collected prior to services being rendered.

We love taking pictures and videos of our cute patients while they are with us to share what we do behind the scenes! Please be aware that patients of American Canyon Veterinary Hospital may be showcased on one of our social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, our website, or other various social media outlets for informational or promotional, or just plain adorable content.

I also waive any rights of privacy or compensation associated with the use of my or my pet’s image(s) and name(s) for the personal or commercial purposes outlined above.

If you have your pet’s previous medical records, there will be an option to attach them in the new client form. If you don’t have them, just give us a call and let us know where your pet has been seen before and we can contact them for you.

It is always a good idea to bring a fresh (within 24 hours) fecal sample if possible, just in case the doctor recommends sending a fecal sample to the lab. If you don’t have one of our containers, simply use a ziploc bag, and about the size of a small grape is all we need!

Please try not to let your dog urinate if possible shortly before the appointment as we may need to collect a urine sample as well.

When you arrive, park in one of our designated parking spaces, send a text message to (707) 644-2284 (Make sure to add us to your contacts!) to let us know you are here and your space number. We will respond shortly with a quick patient check in form which goes directly to the doctor, as well as let you know when we have a room ready for you.

At American Canyon Veterinary Hospital we would love to be able to help every pet in need. Unfortunately in order to practice quality medicine to our standards, and give you and your pets the undivided attention and love that we always have, that is not possible. In the event that an appointment is missed, it takes up a space which could be filled with a patient that has been on our waiting list. While we know that times are hard right now, and
we will try to accommodate you as best as we can, we will be enforcing a cancellation and missed appointment policy.

We hope you understand as this is simply to make sure we are available for as many pets in need as possible.
