UPDATE POLICIES & PROCEDURES - COVID-19
UPDATED 11/7/2022:  Open for ALL CARE, with Inside (masks OPTIONAL) &  Curbside service. 
                           CONTINUE TO CALL WHEN YOU ARRIVE IN THE PARKING LOT!!
    In light of our area's current low community transmission (via CDC Community Levels calculation), we are now encouraging 1 person to accompany their pet into the building for doctor appointments.  At this point, masks will be OPTIONAL for all HEALTHY clients.  If you're feeling under the weather, or showing any symptoms of illness, we ask that you remain in the car and take advantage of our curbside service.  We also ask that you continue to call when you arrive in the parking lot so that we can control the number of people in the waiting room and allow everyone to be able to maintain healthy distances there.  See information below for specific details.  We will continually evaluate both local positivity rate and client needs to assess when we can further relax (or potentially tighten) these measures.
​     
What does this mean for Clients & Patients?
We are still not accepting New Clients at this time.
Unfortunately, at this time due to staffing issues, we are still not be able to accept new clients.  We will reconsider this as soon as we are able to hire another veterinarian. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please do not come to the clinic if you have been exposed to COVID-19, have a fever or are exhibiting signs of ANY illness
No one will be allowed to enter the building with any signs of illness or known exposure to COVID-19.  It is important to stay home if you are exhibiting signs of illness or have a fever.  Even if you do not have the COVID-19 virus, you may be more susceptible to it and should avoid public places like our clinic for your own safety.  You are welcome to send your pets in with a trusted neighbor, friend or family member.  We will contact you by phone for details and payment.

STEPS FOR YOUR CLINIC VISITS: 
  1. REMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE and CALL when you arrive.  This continues to be important for us to be able to manage traffic within the clinic in order to prevent congregating in our small spaces.
  2. Receptionist will review your needs and instruct you on how to proceed.​​​
  • For  doctor appointments (including euthanasia): the receptionist will get initial information, including cell phone you are calling from, and confirm what your pet needs while they are here.  If a room is ready for you, the receptionist will welcome you in and get you into your room.  If all rooms are occupied, we will ask that you remain in the vehicle and someone will call you once your room is ready.
    • We still ask that only one adult accompany pets into the exam room.  (Exceptions can be made if requested, for example, if support is needed for a client in situations such as Euthanasia).  Detailed history will be taken either on the phone, or in the room.  Once the appointment is complete, the assistant will either check you out in the room or refer you to the receptionist up front depending on other clinic traffic.  Again we strive to minimize congestion for everyone's safety.
    • If you prefer to remain curbside, an assistant will come out to retrieve your pet and get more detailed history.  ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  We ask that you stay in your car in the parking lot until we return your animal to you (unless you've been instructed to drop off).  Once inside the doctor will examine your pet (or perform other necessary procedures) and will then call you to discuss your pet.  Once all is complete, your pet will be returned to you and payment will be taken by the assistant or over the phone.
  • ​For technician appointments (pedicures, anal glands, blood draws, etc):  the receptionist will get initial information.  You will remain in the car, and an assistant/technician will come out to retrieve your pet.  As with curbside appointments, ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  At this point, you may be asked to come into the reception area to check out while the appointment is handled in the back, or the assistant will ask you to stay in your vehicle and they will handle payment when they bring your pet back to you.  This will depend on traffic in the waiting room.
  • ​For surgery and drop-off appointments:  the receptionist will get initial information and then an assistant or technician will call you to go over any necessary paperwork.  An assistant will then come out to retrieve your pet.  As with curbside appointments, ALL CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.  Dogs should be on a leash.  We ask that you get your cat or dog out of the car as we come out.  For dogs, our assistant will slip one of our slip leads on the dog and leave your leash with you.  For drop-off appointments the doctor will call you later to discuss diagnosis and treatment plans, so please be sure to leave a number at which you can be easily reached.
  • For patient pickup: Call when you arrive in the parking lot.  Depending on waiting room traffic,  you may be instructed to come in to check out, or remain in your vehicle.  If you're asked to remaining in your vehicle, a receptionist will take payment over the phone, and then an assistant will bring your pet out to you and review any instructions from the doctor.
  • For prescription/food pickup: Call when you arrive in the parking lot.  Most of the time, the receptionist will verify your purchase and take payment over the phone, and then an assistant will bring your items to your car.  If in-clinic traffic permits, you may be asked to come in to purchase/pickup your items. 

Clients are encouraged to fill multiple months of prescription meds when possible.
Decreasing the number of visits by people to the clinic over time is an important way that we can limit community spread.  We will be encouraging people to pick up 2-3 months worth of any medication they give their pets on a regular basis whenever possible (Supply may sometimes limit this, but we are striving to keep everything we need on hand.)  Prescription pickup will be handled curbside (as above).

What does this mean for our Staff?
Masks are now optional for our staff members and clients.
We know that some people are still quite concerned with the risks of COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses so we are  happy to accommodate and support anyone who chooses to continue to mask.  If you come into an appointment and would prefer that our doctors and staff wear a mask, please feel free to ask.  We will be happy to accommodate that request.  

COVID-19 Vaccination, Illness and our Staff
While many members of our staff have taken advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated, not all have chosen to do such.  We have not and will not require vaccination of any employee.  We will follow all CDC guidelines on determining employee quarantine, testing and return to work in order to protect ourselves and the community.  We have also asked our staff to mask whenever they feel that they may be experiencing any symptoms of illness to protect fellow staff members as well as clients.  

Increased hand washing & cleaning during the day.
This applies to everyone, including our receptionists.  Staff will continue to wash hands before and after every appointment.   We have always worked hard to keep things very clean in our clinic with regular surface cleaning between appointments and daily mopping.  We will continue to perform thorough in-clinic mopping and extra surface cleaning, including surfaces such as doorknobs, chairs, etc.  Our cleaning solutions (Rocal & Odoban) are effective against the COVID-19 virus, so mopping the floor to remove any aerosolized droplets that have fallen to the floor and wiping surfaces like tables, counters and doorknobs further decreases potential exposure and spread.
