COVID-19 protocols
|
Updated: 25 January 2021
Based on a variety of expert sources (CDC, The City of SF, AVMA, CVMA, CA-VMB, IAAHPC, etc.), A Gentle Rest continues to operate as an "essential veterinary service".
In order to conduct our service as safely as possible, we aim to minimize our time and exposure inside your home. We will try to conduct all written communication (even signing the "euthanasia authorization" form) in advance, by email and most oral communication by phone - even during a visit, from just outside the home.
Our doctors will be utilizing masks, gloves and sanitizers before, during and after their visits.
Please let us know in advance who all will be present at the visit. We ask to keep the number of people in attendance to a minimum and consider having the procedure done outdoors, if possible.
PLEASE let us know if anyone present has a dry cough, fever or any flu-like symptoms OR has had known exposure to the COVID-19 virus!!!
We will have to consider an alternate person not living with you be present for the appointment and meet at another location.
Being able to provide this needed service for your beloved pet while maintaining the health of everyone involved is our top priority. News and information on COVID-19 continues to change and we will be adapting to those changes based on the advice of health experts and government mandates.
Be safe and take care!
Sincerely,
A Gentle Rest
