No doubt by now you have seen or heard that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a statement on May 16, 2021 that recommends those who are fully vaccinated can begin resuming normal activities with fewer restrictions.

Here at Animal Family Veterinary Care Center, that meant it was time to start discussing how we can begin reopening our offices to your pet’s counterpart: YOU!

Our plan for reopening is still being shaped, but we have some initial information to provide you now so you have as much time as possible to plan:

When can I start accompanying my pet into the facility again? It is our plan to have the offices open by June 14. We ask that clients still call or text when they arrive. A member of our staff will come out and escort you and your pet to an exam room.

Am I required to come in now? We understand that some clients may not feel comfortable coming into the facility yet, so for that reason we are planning to continue offering curbside. Curbside clients have the option to watch the appointment virtually via our TeleVet services.

What about masks? Once the offices open, our staff will follow the recommendations of the CDC: anyone who is vaccinated can opt to not wear a mask, and those who are not will be required to wear masks in the facility. We ask that our clients follow this same guideline.

Where can I get updates? We will be posting updates here on the blog, via our F acebook page , and by occasional all-client emails.

Got other questions or concerns? Please call (563) 391-9522 during business hours and our staff will be happy to help.

We look forward to welcoming you back into the office! If you don’t already have an appointment, s chedule o ne here !
