COVID-19 Precautions
To our valued clients,
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused many to be concerned about the health of their families, pets included. The well-being of our community (including you, your pets and our staff) will continue to be the top priority of Grand Avenue Veterinary Hospital.
At this time, rest assured that as a vital partner in your pet’s health we will remain open during normal business hours and continue to deliver essential medical care and supplies for your pets.
Here are the steps we are taking to ensure the safety and health of everyone who visits or works at our practice:
- Continuing to sanitize our practice with antiviral cleaning agents
- Increasing the frequency of cleaning common-shared touch points
- Welcoming everyone warmly while refraining from shaking hands and maintaining social distancing
- Allowing for increased flexibility during your visits
- If you have an appointment or are picking up medications/food, and would prefer to wait in your car or outside the building, please call and let us know prior to your arrival and when you get to the clinic.
- You are welcome to remain outside the clinic throughout the duration of your appointment, should you prefer
If you are sick, or have been sick in the 14 days prior, and your pet needs medical attention, please send your pet to be dropped off for the appointment with another person. If you do not have anyone available to bring your pet to us, please call for further instructions and we will do our best to help you.
Much of what we know about the virus is still in development as experts continue to study it’s spread. We are confident that transmission of COVID-19 between pets and humans is not likely based on current information.
For current information on the virus and pets, follow updates from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Join us in following good hygiene practices as recommended by the Center of Disease Control (CDC).
Take care of yourself and each other,
Suzanne Robinson, DVM, Owner
