                  LOCATION 
                     
                    Animal Health & Healing is a full service
                            integrative veterinary practice offering both conventional
                            medicine and surgery and holistic therapies. We are
                    located in the Maplewood area of St.
                            Louis County at 2615
                            S. Big Bend Blvd., about ¼ mile
                            north of Manchester Road. We are just south of the Clayton/Richmond Heights
                          area and north of Webster Groves. 
                    SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT 
                     
                    Conventional veterinary clinics often schedule
                    patients every 15 minutes. As a holistic clinic we need
                    more time than that to assess your pet as an individual.
                    This entails learning about your pet’s environment,
                      behavior, lifestyle, and medical history. Therefore, many
                      of our appointments range from 30 – 60 minutes depending
                      on the case. We only schedule one patient at a time. This
                      allows us to focus all of our attention on your pet with
                      minimal distractions. We respect your busy schedule by
                      not over-booking appointments. We strive to see our patients
                      on time. In turn, we ask that our clients arrive on time,
                      or a few minutes prior to, their scheduled appointment.
                      This allows us to spend the entire allotted time with your
                      pet and prevents us from running behind schedule. 
                    We strive to maintain a quiet and comfortable
                        atmosphere for the benefit of our clients and patients.
                        In order to better serve you and your pet we request
                        all cell phones and pagers be turned off during your
                        visit with us. 
                    FEES 
                     
  At Animal Health & Healing our fees reflect
                      the time our veterinarians spend on your pet’s case.
                      This includes time spent both in and out of the exam room.
                      Our doctors will review your pet’s medical records
                      prior to their first visit with us. If your pet is receiving
                      acupuncture or homeopathic treatment, the doctor will spend
                      time working up the case to determine the best acupuncture
                    points or TCM formula, or homeopathic remedy. 
                    For pets coming in for their first initial holistic
                        exam, we require partial payment in advance. This can
                        be done with a credit card (Master Card, Visa, or Discover)
                        or by check. This payment allows the doctor to start
                        reviewing previous and current medical records and developing
                        a holistic therapeutic plan to meet your pet’s
                        individual needs. If you need to cancel this appointment,
                        the fee is refundable with 24 hours notice. You may reschedule
                        the initial holistic exam without penalty anytime.  
                    We ask that only one or two adults be present with
                    the pet during the initial holistic exam. This exam is 60
                    minutes in length and this will allow our doctor and you
                    to focus full attention on your pet with minimum distraction.
                    We encourage you to take notes during this visit as well.
                    The entire family is always welcome on subsequent visits
                    to our clinic. 
                    
                    BEFORE THE INITIAL EXAM 
                       
                      Please
                        take some time and fill out the New Client Information
                        form and the Pet History form. This will help our doctors
                        tremendously during their initial holistic exam of your
                        pet. If you are scheduled to see Dr. Snodgrass, we ask
                        that you also fill out the Feline or Canine VetSurvey
                    form.
