What days is Honnas Veterinary Animal Hospital open?

You can visit Honnas Veterinary 7-days a week, all year! Yes, we are open on holidays too. Our clinic is open from 8am to 7pm. You can book an appointment online, and walk-ins are also welcome. Contact us for more information.

Bring your pet to our animal hospital if they need to see an emergency vet, are suffering from illness or injury, and/or if they need to be monitored over several hours or days; we can accommodate overnight stays.

Honnas Veterinary will discuss the recommended plan and provide an estimate whenever circumstances allow. New-patient exams are free, but diagnostics and treatment are separate charges.
