Our top priority is the health and well-being of our patients, clients, and team members. With the rising threat of COVID-19, we want to assure you that we are taking measures at the clinic to minimize the risk of introducing or spreading the virus to team members and clients while continuing to care for our patients.
- A R Animal Hospital will continue to be a full-service hospital.
- Per the CDC’s recommendation, social distancing measures are being implemented to limit in-person contact and we are refraining from handshakes/hugs.
- Please do not be offended with our cautiousness as we will be wearing gloves and locking the doors in-between appointments and pick-ups.
- In addition to following our usual cleaning protocols, we are disinfecting surfaces, telephones, keyboards and door handles with even greater frequency.
- If you or anyone you have been exposed to and is experiencing any symptoms of continuous cough or fever we ask you not to visit the hospital and find the help of a friend/relative/acquaintance to bring the pet to the appointment or pick-up medication and food.
The following new policies are effective immediately. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone who works at and depends on A R Animal Hospital as we care for your pets.
