COVID-19 UPDATE for July 2020
Meadows Veterinary Clinic is available for pet services! However, in order to keep our staff and clients safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, our building will remain closed to the public (with some exceptions) until further notice.
This decision was made in an effort follow the CDC's recommendations for social distancing and to limit possible exposures to the staff and our clients. We apologize for any inconvenience that this policy may cause.
Please note that our staff misses the "normal way" of seeing our patients and clients also. Veterinary medicine is a very "hands on" field and we love forming bonds, not only with our patients but our clients as well. That being said, our clinic operates as a small, close knit unit - if one of our staff would become ill with COVID-19, we would likely need to endure a prolonged closure of our office. The potential for us to not be physically available for ill pets / emergencies / or humane euthanasia appointments would be possible. We want to be here when you need us most!
We consider it a privilege to care for your pets and we appreciate the trust you place in us. We will work hard to keep you informed and it is our hope to open our building later in the summer.
How does a closed building work?
-- For your scheduled appointment, please call us from your vehicle at arrival so that we can start a check-in process. Over the phone, we will review your pet's medical history, your concerns, and the services that you would like performed during the visit. Estimates of cost are available upon request, as always. Then, a staff member will meet with you to escort your pet inside for care. Depending on the circumstances, we may come directly to your vehicle to pick up your pet or we may ask that you meet us at a specific clinic door. Please be ready to answer your phone while you wait in the parking lot- we may call with further questions or to discuss examination findings. Please let us know when scheduling if you do not have a phone available.
-- We do allow masked clients inside with their pets under certain circumstances such as: emergencies or euthanasia appointments. We may also request that you accompany your pet inside if your pet has significant anxiety and "needs some paw holding". However, you may be surprised to know that many pets do very well even without their people! There is less pressure on them to be protective of their owner and they can focus more on our treats! As always, we have calming pheromone diffusers in our exam rooms for added stress relief.
-- If you need to pick up supplies, please call us and we are happy to bring them out to you. Alternatively, if you let us know roughly what time you will be stopping by, we can have your items waiting for a contact-free pickup in our protected entryway. You can also take advantage of our new website pharmacy so that you can enjoy the safety of known sourced prescriptions with the convenience of home delivery!
Key Points You Need To Know:
-While some animals across the world have tested positive for COVID-19, pets are not believed to be able to spread the virus to humans. There is some concern that cats can develop respiratory symptoms when exposed to sick humans.
-If you need to reschedule or postpone pet medical care- talk to us about how to safely do that! For example, a previously vaccinated adult pet can be a little late on routine vaccines without losing immunity, but a young pup or kitten can't. Vaccination of the young, protection against zoonotic disease (illness that humans can get from their pets), heartworm prevention, etc are still very important. If we lapse on all basic care now, we could be stuck with a preventable major illness later. If you have questions or need help budgeting, please just ask and we will help prioritize things with you!
How to contact us:
-by phone: 309-694-0505. This is the best way to reach us as these needs will be triaged first. If you do not reach a staff member right away, please leave a message on our answering machine with your name, pets name, needs, and return phone number. Please feel free to be specific. We WILL return your call as quickly as possible.
-Petly account: this is a free, private website that you can use to view medical reminders, request prescriptions, and request appointments. If you have not set up your Petly account yet, please email us for help. Petly is a great way to contact us if your needs are not immediate and, generally, our response will be within one business day.
-Email / Facebook messaging: you are welcome to contact us this way, but be aware that the needs of patients in the building or on the phone will take precedence. We cannot be everywhere at once, although we will sure give it a try! Messages sent in this way may take 2 to 3 business days to be returned. Our email address is meadowsvetclinic@gmail.com and you can find us on Facebook as Meadows Veterinary Clinic.
We want to thank you for your support and cooperation during this difficult time. Our staff is working very hard to care for your pet's needs while keeping everyone as safe as possible!
