CCAH ONLINE PHARMACY OFFERS TOP-NOTCH PRODUCTS & CONVENIENCE
As we strive to provide our clients with the best care and service, we have recently added an online pharmacy to our website. You may access this store by going to www.crevecoeurvets.com and choosing the PORTALS/STORE tab. If you are not currently participating in Pet Portals, you may sign up by going to the link at our website and create a login and password. Our pharmacy provides quality products that originate in the U.S.A. (unlike some online pharmacies) and are guaranteed by the manufacturers. In addition to online convenience, we will also insure competitive pricing both in-house and online by regularly shopping other online pharmacies and by making periodic price adjustments. So when you visit our pharmacy in Creve Coeur or in cyberspace, you may be confident that you will receive quality products, real convenience, and fair pricing.
LIGHT & SOUND TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS COME TO CCAH
Technology upgrades for the diagnosis and treatment of disease and for improved surgical abilities have come to CCAH. In the past 6 months, we have enhanced our already technology-driven hospital by adding state-of-the-art equipment. Two recent additions are on-site ultrasound abilities on a daily basis and a new surgical laser. The purchase of a new GE Logiq Ultrasound unit will improve the current system by allowing veterinarians on staff at CCAH to perform diagnostic ultrasound exams with more flexibility in scheduling and at a more economical price-point. Veterinarians at CCAH have undergone and continue to undergo focused education related to ultrasound exams and interpretation. We are proud to announce that Dr. Tony Kronk has recently become certified by Sound/Eklin to perform ultrasound exams. Dr. Chris Moritz has previously taken CE related to ultrasound at the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando. Dr. Steven Glaeser is scheduled to attend the Sound/Eklin certification course in March. We still have an affiliation with Veterinary Imaging Specialists to perform imaging at our request. Last summer, we purchased a new surgical laser to replace more outdated technology. This laser has augmented our veterinarians' surgical abilities with elective and non-elective procedures. Using a surgical laser minimizes bleeding and pain as it seals blood vessels and nerves when it “cuts” through the tissues. Our veterinarians have undergone specific training by the manufacturer to improve their surgical laser skills that they have already obtained through their many years of experience. When your pet is admitted for surgery at CCAH, we will discuss the laser's application prior to that specific surgery.
SUNDAY BOARDING PICKUP COMES TO CCAH
Creve Coeur Animal Hospital is proud to announce the addition of Sunday evening boarding pickup. We listened to your suggestions and are excited to offer this new service. Although we are not open for regular business on Sundays, you may now pickup your pet from boarding between 6:30-7:00pm. When your pet is admitted, you will be asked if you prefer this service or if you would rather pickup Monday, as usual. A small convenience charge will apply to allow for additional staffing for this service.
