How long does fitting process typically take?
If you are a Vet waiting to hear back regarding your fitting appointment, PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FIRST! We are having some issues with messages going to SPAM.
If you filled out your VTAP form (as part of your first step email) - it typically takes us 2-4 weeks to hear back from them, then Julia will reach out to you to send you your fitting sheet. After we get that back from you, we will schedule your appointment. Due to high volume of Vets reaching out daily, we book appointments 1-3 months out (depending on the demand at that time).
Please be patient with us during this process! If you have been waiting more than a few weeks or if you have any questions please email Julia at Manager@Bootstosuits.org or call at (804)647-2741 and leave a message to get your status.
