We hope that you, your family and your pet(s) are remaining safe and healthy. We are writing to keep you informed of our recommendations as well as the steps we are taking in order to continue offering the care your pets need while providing you, and our associates a safe environment.

We keep our hospital clean and disinfected, and we have increased both the frequency and scope of these cleanings in accordance with CDC recommendations to help ensure both our clients and associates are kept safe. Hand washing hygiene is critically important in a hospital, a step we continue to emphasize to staff and clients. We provide options for hand cleaning for clients and associates, and we work closely with our teams to ensure that anyone who is not feeling well understands that we insist they stay home.

What do I do if I have been exposed to the coronavirus while my pet needs care?
In order to help us continue to serve pets in need, we ask that clients who have recently traveled to a high-risk region, had any exposure to symptomatic or confirmed positive cases, or confirmed positive themselves not bring themselves or their pets to 1848 Waldorf Boulevard. If your pet is having a medical emergency, please contact VCA Veterinary Emergency Service, (608) 831.1101. UW Veterinary School has decided to close their doors.

If you are ill or have been exposed to COVID 19 and your pet is due for routine care, (orthopedic evaluations, rehabilitation, annual exams, vaccines, dental cleanings, nail trims, or any other non-urgent appointments), please call your provider (ESO, SFVC, VRCW) to discuss rescheduling to a later time. If it is determined that your appointment cannot be rescheduled for medical reasons, and your appointment is necessary, we ask that you have a healthy family member or friend bring your pet to the visit.

I am not ill and have not been exposed and my pet is scheduled for a visit or is sick.
If you are not sick and have not been exposed and your pet needs care, we want you to come in. We recommend you follow these simple steps:

  • While in the waiting area, maintain distance between you and other clients and pets.
  • After checking in with reception, you are welcome to wait in your car.  We will optionally text you when we are ready to see your pet.
  • Limit the number of people who accompany each pet to the hospital.
  • Use a hand sanitizer or the client restroom to wash your hands.
  • Respectfully refrain from areas of our hospital marked for employees only.
  • If you need to pick up food or medications for your pet, please call and make arrangements.
