These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website, online forms, appointment requests, prescription portal, and text messaging communications. By accessing our website or providing your contact information, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our website and services.
1. Use of Our Website
This website is provided for informational and appointment-request purposes only. You may use it to learn about our veterinary services, request appointments, request prescription refills, and subscribe to news and special offers. You agree not to:
- Misuse the site or submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to our systems.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice.
2. Veterinary Services & Professional Relationship
Information on this website is general in nature and does not constitute veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. A valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) must be established in person before any diagnosis, treatment, or prescription is provided. Appointment requests submitted online are not confirmed until you receive verification from our clinic. In an emergency, do not rely on this website — call us directly or contact a 24/7 emergency veterinary facility.
3. SMS & Text Messaging Terms (A2P 10DLC)
Faithful Friends Animal Hospital — Messaging Terms & Conditions
Mobile Messaging Service. Faithful Friends Animal Hospital offers an SMS messaging service to provide appointment confirmations, pet health reminders, missed-call text-back assistance, prescription notifications, and service feedback (review) requests.
Opt-In & Consent. By providing your mobile number — via our website, during phone scheduling, or upon physical clinic intake — you agree to receive automated and conversational text messages from Faithful Friends Animal Hospital. Consent is not a condition of purchase or veterinary care.
Message Frequency & Rates. Message frequency varies depending on your interactions with our clinic. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.
Opt-Out & Cancellation. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Simply text "STOP" to our number. Upon sending "STOP", we will send a one-time confirmation SMS verifying your unsubscribe request, and you will no longer receive text messages from us unless re-initiated.
Support & Help. If you experience issues with messaging, reply with the keyword "HELP" or reach out directly to our clinic staff at 239-324-4999.
Carrier Disclaimer. Mobile carriers (such as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Privacy. Mobile numbers, consent data, and opt-in information are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website links to and integrates with third-party services, including our online appointment booking platform, online pharmacy, and customer relationship management tools.
