BREWSTER, N.Y., Nov. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roosevelt Veterinary Center in Brewster, NY announced the launch of a redesigned practice website, http://www.rooseveltvet.com/. The site includes new user-friendly features that will make it easier for pet owners to track their pets' veterinary care, including an online appointment request form. Additional features include online forms, a virtual newsletter, and veterinary resources for pet owners.
The veterinary team at Roosevelt Veterinary Center is making it easier for pet owners to schedule appointments and track pet care information online. With the recent launch of the redesigned website, the features will help pet owners with online scheduling capabilities and service information.
"We recognize that our pet owners lead very busy lives," said Dr. Allison Glassman. "Our new website is designed to make it easier for pet owners to schedule appointments, complete forms, and prepare for a visit to our animal hospital. We also have comprehensive information on our different veterinary services."
First-time visitors to the veterinary hospital can go to the online "New Patient Center" to learn more about what to expect during their first visit. Pet owners may also download and complete online forms to streamline their visit. Information about payment options, including pet health insurance, is also available.
"Our goal is to reduce unnecessary time in the waiting room and treat pets as quickly as possible," said Dr. Glassman. "We value and respect our pet owners' time, and our new online resources will make it possible to better serve pet owners and their pets. We also know how anxious some pets can get when they have to wait even a few minutes!"
The redesigned website also includes extensive information on the vet hospital's different services, including the hospital's low-cost spay and neuter clinic. Pet owners may learn more about general wellness care, as well as specialized services such as laparoscopic surgery and digital radiology. The veterinary center also makes house calls.
"We believe strongly that pet care is a partnership between pet owners and their veterinarians," said Dr. Glassman. "The new website is designed to educate pet owners about the basics of wellness care. Our blog is also a great tool for spotlighting seasonally-appropriate pet care topics, such as flea/tick prevention and winter weather safety tips."
Dr. Glassman is encouraging pet owners to post questions on the blog or submit topics for future blog posts. Pet owners who visit the website may sign up for the practice's e-newsletter, which also spotlights seasonal care topics.
"Our goal with both the blog and newsletter is to keep pet owners informed and up-to-date on the latest veterinary health developments, whether this is a food recall or tips for avoiding holiday health emergencies."
The new website also features information on pet health products that are sold through the veterinary hospital, including parasite prevention, joint health, and skin/coat health supplements.
