We are excited to announce that we will begin our modified curb-side appointments on June 15th. Here are a few changes to note before your arrival:

• One client per appointment may accompany their pet(s) into the clinic.

• Anyone entering the clinic must wear a properly fitting mask throughout the entire visit regardless of vaccine status. In order to maintain social distancing guidelines set by the CDC and AVMA you must remain in the exam room throughout the entire appointment.

• When you arrive at the clinic for your appointment or prescription pick up please STAY IN YOUR CAR and call us at 949-559-9988 to check in. A team member will prepare for your visit and es**rt you into an exam room for your scheduled doctor visit or come out to your car with anything you need.

• Curbside Care protocols will still be in place for technician appointments (like suture removals or nail trims) and prescription pick up or sample drop off. Curbside Care appointments (pet exams via phone while you wait in your car) will remain available on request.

• If you or anyone in your household is feeling under the weather or are quarantining due to COVID exposure, please reschedule your appointment or call us to discuss options if your pet is sick.

• We appreciate your trust and support during this past year of pandemic precautions and look forward to finally welcoming you to Animal Hospital of Irvine in person!

More than 85% of dogs and cats show signs of oral disease by age four. If ignored periodontal disease can lead to bad breath, bleeding and receding gums, loose teeth requiring extractions, and damage to internal organs.

Our professional dental cleaning includes pre-anesthetic blood testing, antibiotic and pain injections, thorough anesthetic monitoring, and ultrasonic scaling and polishing.

So many of us have welcomed a new four legged friend into our homes during this pandemic. The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine has released an article that highlights what you can do to help your pets transition to a more “normal lifestyle” while many of us return back to offices for work.

Did you adopt a dog during the coronavirus outbreak, but now you're spending more time away from the house? Here's how to prep your new pup to deal with separation anxiety.

With a surge of new dogs and puppies being added to the house hold, this web page is great resource to learn how to understand a dog's body language, especially when young children are involved! If you have any questions please call and let us know how we can help!

Dog bites are not uncommon. Nearly a million people—both adults and kids—are bitten badly enough to require a hospital visit.

NEW LIMITED CONTACT CLIENT PROTOCOL - CORONAVIRUS

In light of the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, we are stepping up our care as much as possible to help ensure the well-being of our clients and our staff. This includes “social distancing” to limit foot traffic in and out of our hospital.

With this in mind, we have introduced a process where pet owners can feel safe in their cars while we care for their pets. Here’s how it works...

Please call us from the car informing us you have arrived. Only our hospital staff and veterinary patients will be allowed in the hospital while you wait in your vehicles. Please consider bringing a phone charger to use in your car.

For appointments: We will ask you to wait in your car for a technician to take your pet into the hospital. Following the doctor’s examination, you will be contacted by phone to consult with the doctor.

For pick-up/drop-off appointment (this starts no earlier than 9:00 AM): A staff member will come out to the vehicle with your pet, medications/belongings, and any discharge instructions.

For medication and diet pick-up/refill (this starts no earlier than 9:00 AM): A staff member will come out to the vehicle with meds/diets and any instructions.

For boarding and new clients: Please fill out the appropriate forms ahead of time. These documents can be accessed on our website under the heading "Client Resources." Personal bedding and toys will not be allowed for boarding. We have blankets and toys at our hospital that we will use.

Thank you for helping us do our part in keeping our community stay healthy!

Sincerely,
Animal Hospital of Irvine
