Located at 507 W. High St., the veterinarian business announced the permanent closure on social media this month. VCA did not respond to attempts by the Times-Republican for an interview about the matter.

On social media and on its website, VCA stated the decision was not made lightly, and they understand the significant impact it might have on households and pets.

Home delivery service and CareClub memberships have been canceled. Customers can retrieve their pets medical records by email at recordsrequest@vca.com. In the request, include the pet’s name, owner’s name, email address, phone number and the VCA hospital name.
