Learn MoreEssential information for pet owners seeking specialized dermatological care
We understand that bringing your pet for specialized dermatological care can be overwhelming. This resource page provides you with all the information you need to prepare for your visit and understand our clinic policies. Dr. Tim Strauss and our team are committed to providing compassionate, expert care for your pet's skin and ear conditions.
Our goal is to provide quality individualized medical care in a timely manner. No shows, late shows and cancellations inconvenience those individuals who need access to veterinary care. We would like to remind you of our policy regarding missed and cancelled appointments.
A missed appointment is when you fail to show up for an appointment without a phone call or cancel without at least 24 hours notice.
A veterinary/client relationship is built on mutual trust and respect. As such, we strive to be on time for your scheduled appointment and ask that you give us the courtesy of a call when you are unable to keep your appointment. As a courtesy we provide reminder calls before your appointment. However, you are responsible to remember your appointment regardless. Below, our missed appointment policies are outlined:
In order to be respectful of the medical needs of other patients, please be courteous and call our office promptly if you are unable to show up for an appointment. This time will be reallocated to a pet in need of treatment. If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment, we require that you call at least 24 hours in advance. Your early cancellation will allow another patient access to timely veterinary care.
How to Cancel Your Appointment: To cancel your appointment, please call 303-945-3235. If you do not reach the receptionist, you may leave a detailed message on our voice mail. We will return your call promptly.
Late Cancellations: A cancellation is considered to be late when the appointment is cancelled without a 24 hour advance notice.
Appointment No Show Policy: A "no-show" is a client who misses an appointment without cancelling it. A failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment will be recorded in the patient's chart as a "no-show". This includes arriving 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment.
The first time there is a "no-show" or late cancellation there will be no charge to the client. However, to reschedule your appointment a non-refundable deposit in the amount of an office visit will be required to hold your appointment.
Payment is due at time of services. Acceptable forms of payment include:
Please note: We do not accept American Express and Care Credit at this time.
As required by the FDA, we are required to see your animal at least once per year to continue prescribing medication for them. Some medications may require more frequent visits.
Important: Prescription refills cannot be provided without a current veterinary-client-patient relationship, which requires an annual examination.
Comprehensive history taking and detailed physical examination of your pet's skin and coat
Skin scrapings, cytology, fungal cultures, or allergy testing as needed for accurate diagnosis
Customized treatment protocol with detailed instructions for medications and follow-up care
