UPDATED POLICIES & PROCEDURES : Post-COVID-19
Open for ALL CARE, with Inside (masks OPTIONAL) & Curbside service. We encourage clients to accompany their pet into the building for doctor appointments. We may ask that you limit the number of people in the room. At this point, masks will be OPTIONAL for all HEALTHY clients. While you are welcome to come inside, we encourage you to 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. What should you do if you're feeling ill, but your Pet has an appointment? Please do not come to the clinic if you have been exposed to COVID-19 or Influenza, have a fever or are exhibiting signs of ANY illness 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. No one will be allowed to enter the building with any signs of illness or known exposure to COVID-19 or Influenza. If your pet's needs can't wait, feel free to take advantage of our curbside service or send your pet with a trusted neighbor, friend or family member. We will contact you by phone for details and payment. 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 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. |
