• Can I pause or cancel my membership?

  As a member of Small Door, you are committing to the care of your pet for 12 months. A few weeks before your plan is set to renew, you will receive an email that gives you the option of canceling at that time. In extenuating circumstances, reach out to our care team and we can work with you.

• Who are your veterinarians? How did you select them?

  Our doctors are handpicked using a rigorous screening process. We look at criteria such as educational background, training, and human and pet-side manner. All doctors go through a comprehensive onboarding program to learn to deliver Small Door's exemplary standard of care. Our priority is getting to know our pets and pet parents while delivering a best-in-class experience.

• Can Small Door assist with bringing my pet back to the US if I'm traveling internationally?

  While Small Door assists with getting you and your pet to most international countries, our travel team will only be able to assist in informing our members on what they need to get completed to return back to the US. We strongly encourage members to review the USDA and CDC websites to understand the requirements of the specific country they are returning from. We also recommend to always check the above websites for the most up to date information.

• Can I book an appointment at any Small Door Boston location?

  Certainly! At Small Door, you're able to visit any of our locations, located in New York, Boston and the Washington, DC areas. To book an appointment, you can do so in the Small Door app. Just make sure you change your "Preferred Region"  which can be found on your "Profile" page. You can always reach out to us directly if you're having trouble or need assistance.

• How can my friend or family member use telehealth while I'm out of town?

  If a friend or family member is taking care of your pet while you're away, you can simply have them download the Small Door app and share your login information. We do not recommend sharing your account information with anyone you don't trust or know personally!
