How the Monday clinic works
  • Appointments required. Please book in advance so we can prepare your estimate and vaccines ahead of time. You have an appointment for the night and can come in anytime between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
  • First come, first served. We take names down as you arrive, and patients are seen in the order of arrival.
  • No office charge. Since this focuses exclusively on updating vaccines, there are no exam or tech visit fees.
  • Vaccines only. To keep the line moving, we save extras like nail trims and anal gland expressions for regular visits.
  • Curbside convenience. Cozied up in your car? Just give us a call when you arrive. A tech will come out, bring your pet inside for their vaccine, and return them safely to you.

We map each visit so pets feel secure and families feel informed.

Everything under one roof

Bloodwork and imaging are run here, so results come back the same day instead of next week.

Soft lighting, quiet spaces, and gentle low-stress handling for anxious cats and dogs.

"We bring our cats to Clifton Ave and everyone here is so wonderful. Monica is an absolute doll and always so warm and friendly. Dr. Yasin is the best, he’s thorough and honest, while showing compassion. We’ve had some of the weekend covering vets as well, and had great experiences. We also love Karen along with the other techs. Two of our three cats have had surgery there, and the follow up afterwards is great. Not only coming back in, but they’ve always called to check in afterwards as well to see how they’re doing. Any pet owner knows how much your animals can mean, and the entire group in this office understands that! Bonus: picture of one of our babies they have helped, doing his neighborhood watch at home."

"I’ve been bringing my super spicy kitty here for some time now and everyone who has dealt with her has been so patient and understanding. She’s even gotten better going to the vet since i’ve been bringing her here! I’ve also had to put my sick dog down recently… and it was one of the most devastating days of my life. The staff were extremely compassionate and attentive throughout the process. Even though she was old and stinky they showed her so much love and kindness. I’m grateful for the care Dr Yasin and his staff have given my pets."
