Dear Pet Families,
We know Coronavirus/COVID-19 is a concerning topic for people everywhere, including pet parents. As your partner in caring for the overall health and wellness of your pets, we want to ensure you still have access to pet care during this time. Our facility remains open at this time to provide safe service to all.
Be assured that we have procedures in place addressing a variety of health and safety issues, and while Monument East has always ensured the highest levels of cleanliness and sanitation, we have recently updated our health and safety guidelines in direct response to the emergence of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our team members are being encouraged to stay home and take care of themselves if they, or their family members, are ill. That's one way we can help minimize the spread of the illness for both pet parents and team members.
Please continue to schedule your appointments as needed. However, if you are scheduled or need to schedule an appointment with our practice and are presenting symptoms of illness, please contact us so we can provide you options for your pet’s care
Caring for our team members, our clients, and your pets is the cornerstone of our culture. And at this time, we'll need everyone's help to do that. We hope by working together, we can all do our part to help others to stay safe by using these best practices.
If your pet is in need of a prescription medication or food refill, please call ahead and alert us when you will be picking it up. We will be taking pre-payment over the phone.
Sincerely,
The Monument East Vet Hospital Team
