Important COVID-19 Information UPDATED July 2021
COVID-19 Protocol Update
- All clients are welcome in the reception area with no restriction on capacity.
- Masks are highly recommended to help protect our staff and other customers who are not yet fully vaccinated, although they are not mandatory.
- We anticipate an update in the next few weeks from the CVMA/WorkSafeBC, and we will further assess the situation regarding in-person exams. For patients with high anxiety or special needs we are making exceptions, but again we recommend drop-off exams to protect our staff and veterinarians who are not yet fully vaccinated.
