ATTENTION:
WE ARE STILL OPEN...Please help us continue to help you! We are striving to continue to help your furry, feathered or scaled friends while helping to keep our staff and clients safe. We are staying open, but will be locking the doors.
Hello everyone! Even as this pandemic gets more intense, I know we will all get through this together. With Michigan's stay-at-home directive being extended to the end of April, I wanted to discuss some changes that are happening at Animal Alley.
While observing the CDC recommendations and in protecting our staff, clients and community, we are continuing to take action to have a modified schedule. As previously posted, our hours have changed, but we will continue to be open for all essential appointments. What is essential versus non-essential? This list is not meant to be exhaustive, so please contact us if you are unsure!!
• All annual Lepto vaccinations and Rabies vaccinations are considered essential as are all puppy and kitten vaccinations and wellness visits.
• Dispensing of heartworm, flea, tick and intestinal parasite prevention are considered essential. Heartworm, tick and fecal (internal parasite screenings) can be delayed up to 6 months from due date.
• Chronic disease management is considered essential and an important part of pet care. These rechecks are important and recommended, they may include checking blood work, urinalysis, eye pressure checks, radiographs, etc.
• For those patients with unstable disease, these are essential examinations: patients that have experienced trauma; acute lameness; acute skin, ear, eye or urinary disease/infections; vomiting and/or diarrhea; toxic or foreign body exposure and end of life procedures. This is not an exhaustive list, please call if you are unsure of your pet’s need of care.
• All non-elective and emergency surgeries will be performed as needed and able.
• At this time, elective surgeries, including but not limited to the following will be postponed effective immediately UNLESS MEDICALLY INDICATED (as determined by the doctor): Feline castration, Canine castration, Dewclaw removals.
• All elective nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleaning and microchipping will be postponed UNLESS medically indicated, this will be determined on a case by case basis.
In modifying our schedule on almost a daily basis with the evolving information and recommendations by our local, state and federal officials, we want to ask for your continued patience while we work to keep an open line of communication with you. We are continuing curb-side pick up of animals, ONLY and communication will be done via cell phone.
We are excited to be offering an alternative option to having your pets come to the hospital. It will be through our telemedicine app: “PetPro Connect”. PetPro Connect will allow you to connect with us via video consultation using your phone. The fee for this is less than a regular office call and will provide peace of mind and address your concerns, not all exams will be able to be performed using this new modality.
In addition to having contact with your veterinarian, PetPro Connect also provides instant access to your pet’s medical and vaccine history, ability to request medication refills, schedule appointments, and ease in obtaining rebates. We will have to send you an invitation to get the app up and running. Please wait for that email, as we will be sending them out in phases. If we don’t have your current email address, please update or add email(s) by calling the hospital. We are excited to offer this service and be there for you and your pet! Please utilize this service in order to address your concerns, for your safety and the safety of our staff.
As always, we will be available by phone, via email, Facebook, and your Petly portal to schedule essential appointments, discuss changing schedules, policies and procedures, reschedule upcoming non-essential and wellness appointments to a later date, take medication refill requests, answer questions about PetPro Connect and help you plan the best course-of-action for whatever situation you have regarding your pet.
Continue to check our Facebook page and website (animalalleyvet.com) for any changes in schedule, policies and procedures. Our veterinarians and staff thank you for being flexible and doing what’s best for you, your furry, feathered and scaled family members, our staff and the community!
Thank you everyone,
