Dear Clients of Allen Heights Vet Hospital, It is with deep sadness and a good dose of frustration that we are announcing the closure of Allen Heights Veterinary Hospital. Our last day of seeing patients will be July 1st. The economic and labor forces brought about by the pandemic and the ‘great resignation’ have pushed this business to its breaking point. We have tried to hire and we have worked with a broker to try to sell/merge practices, but nothing has panned out. When we are constantly under staffed we can’t offer the appointments and surgery services that keep us a vital practice. That is why we are closing the hospital. What this means to you:
If you received a paper copy of this letter, we do not have your email address. Email will be our preferred method of communication. Please leave a message, text or email us your preferred email address.
You may still receive reminder cards and emails from the computerized service. We will be disabling these as soon as possible. If you get a reminder, please follow up with your new vet for the service listed on the card. A list of the central Berkshire County vets and the 24/7 emergency services is included below. Thank you so much for your patronage over the years. It has meant a lot to us to have run a successful vet practice for 15 years. We were able to build up a good practice with our friendly, caring, talented and dedicated staff. Over the years we’ve made some friends, shared lots of animal stories, laughs, and tears. We will all miss seeing your pets at the hospital and miss chatting with you. God Bless, Dr. Elizabeth Tullett Brian Caraker And the staff of Allen Heights Vet.
