With Covid-19 vaccinations beginning to roll out, there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel! Hopefully by this time next year, the pandemic will be just an unpleasant memory. Now, however, is not the time to let down our guard. Until restrictions have been lifted, Riverside Small Animal Hospital requests that you honor the following procedures when visiting our business:
The waiting area restricted to four persons due to physical distancing. You must always wear a mask in every area of our business.
All medical care is back to normal, with appointments for services required. Please call reception at 250-372-7781 from the parking area when you arrive, and you will be invited into a sanitized exam room as soon as one becomes available. Phone lines are extremely busy, so please be patient. Sanitize your hands upon entry.
One family member will be invited to accompany his/her pet into the exam room. All pets must be restrained or in a pet carrier. A team member will take a history of your pet and discuss any concerns. Your pet will then be escorted to a larger examination area where the veterinarian will complete his exam. Once finished, the veterinarian will discuss his findings with you.
We urge you to call 48 hours in advance for prescription refills and food orders or use our online food order for home delivery. Product backorders continue to be a concern in some areas.
We still see a backlog of vaccines and we are booking those appointments about four weeks in advance. Priority is given to puppies and kittens, and reminders are sent out with plenty of notice for pet owners to book appointments in a timely fashion.
Medical appointments will take precedence.
Please sanitize your hands again before leaving.
Riverside Small Animal Hospital is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and we close daily from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm to restock and re-sanitize.
