It makes us very happy to announce that Dr. Schomacker will be making "house calls" one Monday morning per month.
When many of you come into the clinic, we notice that it has been too long since we've seen your kitties, and usually most of you tell us that it is just too stressful for them to bring them in for annual or bi-annual exams, and consequently too stressful for you, also. We listened!
We are very much aware that cats sometimes react to stress in embarrassing ways (especially for you), although all of us have at least one cat who acts the same way. Of course, there is never any reason to be embarrassed about your cat's behavior -- they are scared to death to be out of their usual environment, and when "new" people are trying to treat them or examine them, they want no part of it. You might try to place yourself in your cat's shoes (paws?) and just think how you would feel. You ONLY have to get in the carrier when you're going in the CAR to that really scary place where they poke and prod, stick you with needles and last, but not least -- stick a thermometer in your rear end! And, they have no idea why! It is shear torture for some of them!
Of course, some of us are lucky enough to have cats that are fine with coming in, but those are more rare than usual. Due to this fact, we have decided that offering affordable housecalls to our "Kansas" clients might help us take better care of our patients and reduce the stress for both the patients and their owners. Unfortunately, we cannot go to Missouri, as Dr. Schomacker is not licensed in Missouri.
Beginning Monday, January 16, 2012 from 8:00am to 12:00Noon, we are offering housecalls within a 10 mile radius at the reduced cost of $35.00, every 3rd Monday of every month thru May 2012. This $35.00 would be in addition to the regular cost of any treatments provided.
If you would like to schedule a housecall for your kitty, just give us a call and we will be happy to schedule you with Dr. Schomacker. We will be scheduling clients as closely together as possible, and so will call you on the day of your scheduled housecall just before arriving.
