A NOTE TO THE COMMUNITY!!!

Dear Trinity County Community,

We want to thank everyone for your understanding and patience in these trying times. Trinity County is a unique and close-knit community and we feel privileged to provide medical care to your pets. We want to connect and update you on some exciting updates and continued processes we are implementing to protect you, our team and care for our patients. 

During the week of August 14-17th we will be upgrading our computer network and server to meet the increased desire for clients to interact with our team and for us to provide comprehensive and efficient medical care.  However, this process will leave us without computers, laboratory equipment access and radiograph capacities, as the network for all is connected, and linked to our server that is being upgraded. We will be unable to access medical records, see appointments or attend to emergencies during this time. Please plan any prescription or food refill requests accordingly to ensure your pet does not run out. We will be referring all emergencies to VCA Asher in Redding, 530-224-2200 and schedule non-emergent visits with our team before and after the dates of 8/14-8/17.

We are doing our very best to keep up with the needs of our community. Currently we are scheduled about 3 weeks out for preventative care appointments and 3-4 weeks for surgical and dental procedures. During this time we are prioritizing patients and managing pets that need to be seen more urgently to ensure as many pets are cared for as needed. We are actively recruiting for a 3rd Veterinarian and Veterinary Team Members who share our vision and passion for patient care, but will only accept those capable of providing the high level of care we provide our patients. We appreciate your patience during this busy time of year, and want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to keep all of the pets in Trinity County cared for in a timely manner.

As a reminder, our lobby is currently open in limited capacity, but we are open. Pets are being examined in our treatment area and owners are welcomed to wait in the examination rooms or their car. Masks are worn by all team members when in your direct presence and we have a team member dedicated sanitizing surfaces all day.  Until the state supports large group gatherings our monthly vaccine clinics will be postponed.  

We value all of the patients that you are entrusting us with their care and value you as their pet owner. We kindly ask that pet parents be kind to our team as they are working very hard to meet patient care needs, maintain everyone's safety and attend client requests.  Thank you for supporting us!

COVID-19 UPDATE

As COVID -19 impacts everyday life and spreads within our communities, we are dedicated to providing you with the same great service and care that you have come to expect from our practice. At the same time, we are taking great measures to keep our clients, patients, and team members healthy and safe.    

We are working to prevent the spread of COVID -19 by:

  • Limiting the number of clients in our lobby at one time. We may ask you to wait outside or in your car if 6ft of distance between people can not be maintained. 
  • We ask that if you are elderly, or if you would feel more comfortable, please remain in your vehicle, do not enter the building. Call us upon arrival and we can escort your pet to and from the hospital while you wait.
  • If you just need to pick something up, please call. We can accept payments over the phone and deliver your prescriptions or food to you in your vehicle when you arrive. Or utilize our on-line store for home delivery. 
  • Phone consults and photo sharing may be available in certain cases. 
  • We are carefully cleaning all surfaces and all rooms of our practice hourly including door knobs, counter tops, seating, equipment, computers, keyboards, phones, pens, etc. More than usual special care is taken in all public areas and examination rooms to cleanse and disinfect. 
  • Hand sanitizer is available in our lobby for clients and team members to use.
  • We are declining to shake hands with clients during introductions. (We’re being safe, not rude!)
  • We are reinforcing our standard policy of thoroughly washing hands between each patient.
  • And we have stringent protocols on ill employees staying away from the workplace. 

What can you do for your pets and family? 

  • Limit the number of visitors at your veterinary appointments to one person. If someone else rides with you to the practice, kindly ask them to remain in the vehicle.  
  • Make sure that you have enough food, supplies, and medications available for your pets. Please contact us to request any needed refills on medications.
  • If you are experiencing any symptoms or are quarantined and your pet needs veterinary care, we want to help. Please call us to strategize the best course of action. 
  • With school, daycare, and office closures, we may run into scheduling challenges for both our clients and employees. We ask for your patience should these situations cause any scheduling issues.  
  • And remember to: 
    • Wash your hands regularly 
    • Sneeze or cough into your elbow
    • Stay a safe distance from other people whenever possible (6-10 feet)
