Fizgig with Dr. Denise Dietsch, DVM, united November 5, 2014
We build long, healthy relationships
Wellness starts with bringing home a healthy pet, and continues with ongoing support and guidance. Beyond adoption, we provide additional services and outreach to help you and your pet lead fulfilling lives.
Virtual Waiting Room
Our Clinic, On Your Phone
No one likes to spend time in a waiting room, especially if your pet’s not feeling well. With QLess Waiting, you can check in from your phone, then come to the clinic when the veterinarian’s ready.
The QLess system will send you text message updates, let you know your place in line, and notify you when it’s time to head to the clinic.
QLess opens at 9AM daily. Sign in closes once capacity has been reached.

Wellness Initiatives
Wellness Extends Beyond the Clinic
We don’t wait for people and pets to come to us. As part of our mission, we actively reach out to the community and lend our support.
Your Donation Makes An Impact
Beyond adoption, there are many ways to help people and pets bring out the best in each other. A gift to the APA enables us to give second (and sometimes third or fourth) chances to deserving pets.
