We at  Brittmoore Animal Hospital are concerned about your health as well as that of your pets.

As we learn more about the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus), your Brittmoore team would like to inform you about what we’re doing to protect the health and safety of you and the BAH staff.

We have increased the frequency of disinfection of all high touch surfaces throughout our hospital and additional time on frequently-touched surfaces. We are following CDC recommendations on hand hygiene, social distancing, and staying home when sick. We have asked our staff to refrain from shaking hands, and try to maintain a safe distance (3-6 feet) from clients during visits.

We are currently open our normal days and hours. We remain committed to serving your pet’s needs, but we will be serving it in a more safe environment for you and our staff. So there have been a few changes in our delivery of services.

We would also like to ask our valued clients to please stay home if you are feeling ill, have traveled to a high-risk area, or have been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. We will happily reschedule your appointment when you are well.

Brittmoore Animal Hospital is offering curbside service for appointments with audio communications with your doctor from your car.

Clients will no longer be coming into the facility to reduce the risk of exposing you or our staff to COVID-19. We have streamlined our flow to make this new system smooth for all involved. Feedback so far has been positive. CLIENTS MUST WEAR THEIR MASKS when staff is approaching your vehicle. Please stay in your car.

Remember - everyone needs an appointment to make our scheduling safe and effective.

Here Is How It Works…
