Is Your Pet Having a Medical Emergency?
Here at BEVS, we are experiencing a high demand for emergency veterinary services, so wait times may be extended. Please expect a longer wait during high-demand hours, including nights and weekends. We will assess each pet as you arrive and use our triage priority levels to care for the most critically injured or ill pets first. We appreciate your patience as we, like you, navigate through these challenging times.
If you are concerned or unsure if your pet needs emergency care, please call us at (802) 863-2387. We may be able to advise you on how to keep your pet comfortable at home until your veterinarian can see you. If your dog or cat has ingested something poisonous, please call your veterinarian or the 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center at (855) 764-7661 for help immediately. (A consultation fee may apply.)
Dr. Harnett,
I don’t know what we would have done without you. You made this experience bearable. Your kindness and care for Thea helped me so much. I can’t express with words how honored and blessed I feel with the care she received by you and your staff. She loved going there; I felt safe with her in your care. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are and the amazing doctor you are too. We were so lucky to have you! You are the best!
Autumn Noble, Todd, and Mister
This past January Dr Amy Cordner and staff performed an ultrasound and guided needle aspiration of a deep abdominal node on my eight year old service dog, Barley. The diagnosis was lymphoma. Due to his age I opted against surgical resection of the node, electing instead to begin the CHOP protocol hoping it was the more treatable B-cell variety and not the aggressive T-cell lymphoma that had taken a previous dog from me far too young.
Barley responded to chemo almost immediately. He finished the protocol in July and we were able to enjoy a motorcycle trip to Montana together. He is something of a celebrity in the long-distance motorcycling community and hundreds of riders followed his battle with cancer. Attending the BMW Rally in Billings was therapeutic for him, and I wanted to circle around to thank all of you for the fast diagnosis that gave him the opportunity to see all of his friends again. We’re not sure how long remission will last, but we cherish every day, every ride. Barley now has over 55,000 sidecar miles under his collar.
With eternal gratitude,
To all the folks at BEVS,
How can we thank you enough?! Each time we came in with Pilot for his treatment we felt your care & concern for his well being. You made his experience (& ours) as easy as possible and helped him feel comfortable with the visits. You were available by phone & email to answer our questions and keep us posted on progress. Pilot came through with flying colors thanks to you all. And thanks again for the parting goodies! The treats were devoured but he’s still loving his toys!
With gratitude,
