Important Information on COVID-19 & Barker Animal Hospital

We wanted to take the time to update all our wonderful clients about some important changes here at Barker Animal Hospital. You now have the choice to come inside with your pet for their appointment. Curbside Concierge service is also an option or TeleVet appointments if you prefer. 

Our lobby is now open with a limited number of customers and guests allowed at a time in order to practice social distancing. Masks are required when entering the building. We want to protect both the health of our staff and our clients as best as possible while still being available to provide all your pet care needs. Our policies will be updated as needed to be compliant with current state regulations.
