Dear Valued Clients and Friends,

Georgian Bay Veterinary Hospital is committed to the safety of our staff, clients, and community. We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation and are taking direction from the Canadian Government, as well as the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO). Although our regular infection control procedures are very diligent, we have incorporated additional measures to minimize the transmission of infectious diseases, including:

• Increasing the frequency of disinfection of high contact surfaces within the clinic;
• We ask that all clients wait with their pet in their car upon arrival. Once in the parking area, please call us and our team will then escort you directly to an exam room;
• If you are picking up food or medication, we ask that you call in advance and pay over the phone, so that we can have everything ready for you before you arrive; and,
• If you have;
  • travelled outside of Canada in the past two weeks,
  • have had contact with a known corona virus infected person, or
  • are showing symptoms of corona virus (fever, cough, difficulty breathing)
    • We ask that you postpone your appointment for 14 days. If you meet any of the above conditions and your pet requires urgent attention, we will do our best to coordinate an appointment to limit exposure to our staff and other clients.

Thank you for your effort and cooperation.
