A NOTE TO THE COMMUNITY!!!


Dear Trinity County Community, 

EFFECTIVE June of 2021. We are looking forward to seeing your faces and you seeing ours! In accordance with CDC Guidelines face coverings are no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals. We do kindly request that if you have any COVID-19 symptoms or are not fully vaccinated that you wear a face covering and we will do the same. And if for any reason you are more comfortable with a curbside visit or with our team wearing a face covering, let us know and we will happily mask up for you. And please expect a team member to snuggle your pet during their exam.  And good news….. monthly low- cost vaccine clinics will begin July 10th, call us for more details.

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)
