Wellness Clinic is normally held the first and third Wednesday of each month. Occasionally, though, we need to cancel Clinic due to veterinarian availability, weather, etc. Please check this website for Clinic cancellations as indicated below.

PLEASE NOTE:  

On Clinic days, doors open to the public at 4:00 pm.Clinic doors are closed promptly at 5:45 pm.

For those of us who own cats and dogs, it can be an expensive proposition to properly care for them. Wellness Clinic is offered to the public at Hanover Humane’s facility at 12190 Washington Highway in Ashland.

Dr. Kathryn Hurley DVM conducts each Wellness Clinic with staffing provided by Hanover Humane's volunteers.

Clinic was established to provide preventative medical care for healthy animals. There is no fee for an office visit when routine vaccines, testing, etc. are provided by the veterinarian. A certification exam fee may apply, though,  in some circumstances as outlined below.

The Wellness Clinic is not a full-service veterinary facility. Clients having animals that are injured  or sick (upper respiratory infections, bloody stools, ear infections, skin lesions, baldness, etc.) need to visit their regular vet for treatment.   Animals needing emergency services will need to be seen by either a local veterinary hospital, the Veterinary Referral and Critical Care facility, or the Veterinary Emergency Center.

Hanover Humane's Wellness Clinic staff and facility are not equipped to deal with feral cats or dogs; these will not be seen by the veterinarian during Wellness Clinic.   Clients with feral cats or dogs will need to visit their regular vet for services.

Additional Wellness Clinic information....

Clients are expected to pay for all services before leaving the Wellness Clinic; clients will not be billed.  The following payment options are available to clients: cash,  Visa card, Mastercard, or Discover card.    Please note that personal checks are NOT accepted at Wellness Clinic.

All clients are handled on a first-come/first-served basis with a queue formed as clients are checked in.  Clients who check in and then leave the facility will lose their spot in the queue.  They will be placed at the end of the line.

Wellness Clinic clients are expected to remain with their animal(s) at all times.

To minimize confusion, one handler per animal will be allowed to see the vet.  Additional family members, friends, children, etc. will need to remain in the reception area.

As posted throughout the facility, we respectfully request that you refrain from using your Cell Phone while working with our volunteers and veterinary staff.

For safety purposes, all dogs and cats must be restrained by a leash and collar or contained in a crate.

NOTE:    Please note that a minimum $40 office visit fee will apply per animal for some veterinary services including, but not limited to:
1. Health certification for air travel,
