Thanks to Sarah and everyone else who passed on the kind offer from Friendship Hospital for Animals:

“To our federal government employee/contractor community:

We understand more than most that accidents and emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time.

For federal government employees/contractors who have lost their jobs during the downsizing of the federal government workforce, starting tomorrow we are waiving our emergency exam fee, non-routine primary care exam fee (sick visit), and offering extended payment options on all services.

As always, if you think your pet is having a medical emergency, take him or her to the nearest emergency facility. If you are unsure whether or not your pet needs to be seen, please give us a call at 202-363-7300. We are available 24-hours a day to help assist you in your decision.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Friendship Hospital for Animals”
