AT HORIZON, AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR
IS NOT TOLERATED
… and we are not referencing pet behavior.
Please recognize the Horizon Team is here to support you and advocate for your pet. We understand how worried and stressed you may be at our hospital, facing major decisions and potentially significant costs related to your pet’s medical condition.
It is important that you understand, as we work together in the best interest of your pet, that we have a no tolerance policy related to aggressive behavior.
Physical assault, verbal harassment, foul language, abusive behavior and threats will not be tolerated. These behaviors will result in the immediate termination of services.
We are humans too. We have lost our beloved pets too. We have faced major medical expenses too. We are here because we love medicine and we love animals. We are not here for financial gain.
