Dear valued clients -
As we traverse the everchanging landscape of the COVID 19 pandemic, we have to adapt to constant change. As of yesterday, Gov. Inslee has instituted a "stay at home" edict that takes place tomorrow evening (3/25). Although veterinary clinics are deemed essential businesses, our governing body, the WSVMA, in an email sent on 3/22, stated "of course, the WSVMA is recommending only seeing patients for emergent issues and postpone all non-essential care until the crisis abates".
In light of this, we will be closing the clinic for the next 2 weeks beginning on 3/26/20 then we will reassess the situation. This is a difficult decision for us, but in the interest of trying to stem the tide of this pandemic, we are going to comply with the wishes of our state's leadership.
Veterinary Specialty Center (425) 697-6106, Seattle Veterinary Specialists (425)823-9111, Animal Medical Center (206) 204-3366 and Diamond Emergency (425) 252-1106 all have the appropriate facilities, staff and experience to handle our most serious veterinary emergenices should they be needed.
The staff and I will be checking voice mails, emails and faxes daily. If prescription medications, food, flea/tick control are needed, I will be available to approve/order those for you during this time. Kathy will be available for scheduled prescription food pickups when needed. I encourage you to check out the clinic's secure online pharmacy at www.asccvet.com for any medications, food, supplies you may need. If you utilize other online sources, those will be approved in a timely fashion. I will also be available via email at [email protected] if you have questions, concerns, etc...
This is a frustrating and stressful time for all of us, but this too shall pass. We appreciate your understanding, patience and patronage during these challenging times. May you all stay safe and healthy.
Dr. Terry, Kathy and Isabelle
Animal Surgery and Care Center
