IMPORTANT UPDATE TO OUR PROTOCOL

3/23/2020

 
Due to the current state of emergency in the province, it is necessary to change some of our regular clinic policies. Our goal is to keep everyone, including the clinic staff and clients, healthy and therefore enable us to remain open to care for your pets during this time.

Our clinic hours will be from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Appointment availability will be prioritized for pets that are ill, have had an injury, or experiencing and emergency. Please call us at 519-622-6988 so we can triage your request for an appointment.
Our doors will be locked. We are asking clients to follow the following protocol:
  • Remain in their vehicle when they arrive.
  • Call us at 519-622-6988 to let us know you have arrived; history and any concerns will be taken over the phone.
  • When the Veterinarian and/or RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) is ready, a staff member will meet the client at their vehicle to bring the pet inside, clients will remain in their vehicle.
  • Once the patient has been assessed, the Veterinarian or RVT will call the owner to go over their findings. if the client needs to come into the building, the Veterinarian or RVT will make that decision.
  • Payment can be made by debit or credit card on our mobile unit; a staff member will meet the client at their vehicle with the final invoice and medication if needed. The invoice will have been discussed in advance by the Veterinarian or RVT.

If you would prefer to reschedule your pet's appointment, please call or email the clinic at [email protected]

Prescriptions:
We recommend you call to pre order any prescriptions and expect a 24-48 hour wait for refills. Please call us from your car when you have arrived at the clinic and we will deliver it to your car. It would be appreciated if you could prepay for your prescriptions.

Food Sales:
in regards to food sales, our supplier is experiencing  a much larger demand for food orders, deliveries are taking 3-5 business days to arrive. We recommend you call to pre order food and pay for it over the phone by credit card to increase efficiency when you arrive at the clinic. Call us when you arrive at the clinic and we will deliver the food to your car.

Thank you for your understanding during these difficult times. Hopefully if we work together, we can keep everyone safe and healthy. If you have any questions, please call us at 519-622-6988. 

An Update to Our COVID-19 Protocol

3/18/2020

 
​An update to our COVID-19 protocol:
-We are currently trying to reschedule all non urgent appointments for 14 days out to be able to see urgent cases and decrease traffic in the clinic. This is for the safety of our staff and our clients.
-If you have an appointment with us that cannot wait, we ask that only 1 person attend the appointment with the pet.
-If you have travelled outside of Canada in the last 2 weeks, are unwell or have been in contact with someone who has travelled/is unwell please consider rescheduling if possible or having someone who has not been in contact with you bring your pet in. If this is not possible, we can discuss with you over the phone/email how best to proceed.
-It is recommend wherever possible to pay with debit or credit rather than cash.
-We are seeing further delays in food orders, if you are getting low please let us know. We can continue to take prescription orders but please allow 48 hours.

Thank you for helping us to stop the spread!

Notice Regarding Food Sales

3/17/2020

 
Currently our food supplier is facing a much larger demand for food orders than usual due to pet owners stocking up during this time. Because of this, they have notified us that food orders will be delayed by about 3-5 business days.
This means we are not able to get food in as quickly for our clients. **We need to suspend all non-client food sales for the time being to ensure we have the food our patients need (especially those who require specialized diets).**
If you purchase food from us but have a regular veterinary clinic, we recommend you contact them to purchase food for the time being. For our established clients, please be aware there will be delays in getting your pet's food in, please allow 3-5 business days and call in to make sure we have the food you need.


Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time,
Main Street Animal Hospital
