You will still be able to speak directly with the veterinarian examining your pet. Our staff will continue to come out to your vehicles. We are also committed to letting our employees who wish to get vaccinated have time to complete the series. But we are committed to maintaining our ability to remain open and to maintain seeing the number of animals we see per day. We truly understand and empathize that you would like to be with your pets inside the hospital. We really, really want to avoid that! (Our employees understand the risks and are extraordinarily careful after hours as well.) Even with this degree of physical closeness, we have made it through the entire pandemic year without one single employee coming down with Covid! The thing that we have been so conscious of, is that as closely as we work together, if even just ONE employee came down with the virus, we would all need to quarantine, and that would mean we would need to close the hospital while quarantining. Frequently our faces are inches from one another, and while we do wear face coverings, we are very conscious of the risk. Please understand that due to the nature of handling and treating animals, and the layout in our facilities small interior spaces, we ourselves are unable to socially distance from one another. At this time, we will be continuing curbside service exclusively, except for euthanasias where the owner elects to be present. We have had some calls asking when we plan to open for inside services. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you soon! If you have any questions or concerns, you can text 71 or call the practice at 71. Surgical admissions and discharges, veterinary nurse visits, product pick-up, and sample drop off will all remain fully curbside with limited client admittance into the practice. Our patient handlers will continue to provide physical support to your pet throughout the physical exam and treatment while you provide emotional support. You will be required to remain seated throughout your pet’s visit. Only ONE adult per appointment with a veterinarian can be granted entry due to the size of our exam rooms. Our team is happy to wear a mask for you simply let us know. You need to be aware that while MOST of the team has been vaccinated, not all of the team is fully vaccinated at this time. We ENCOURAGE the use of face masks while inside our practice, but they are not required at this time.

In addition, any client who has found the full curbside experience better for them or their pet is welcome to continue staying in the parking lot during visits. For this reason, Centennial Animal Hospital will be keeping curbside check-in and check-out. So, we’ve asked ourselves, what is it about the curbside experience that has led to so many pets being calmer and less afraid while visiting the veterinary practice? What we believe has played a large role in this change is skipping the waiting area. We firmly believe that most pets are far, far happier to have you with them. One of the things we have learned is how much CALMER many of your beloved furry family members have been visiting with us despite not having you inside the building with them. We have learned so much through the challenges of a global pandemic, and we are deeply grateful to the people of the community who have been supportive of our team and practice despite the many bumps, potholes, twists, and turns! Thank again for your most generous gift for my Dixie.Protocol Updates: What We’ve Learned from a Global Pandemic I am excited for her and eager to help her heal and get her back to herself.

I am praying that this surgery is going to provide her with a new lease on life, a pain free life. I am leaving in a few minutes to go pick her up. Maria touched base with us this afternoon…”Dixie J had her surgery this morning. She gets by with a lot of help from her friends and family, but needed extra assistance in getting Dixie’s leg repaired. Dixie’s person, Maria, has dealt with numerous challenges including bouts with Covid and a Traumatic Brain Injury. Unfortunately, the plate began working itself out and things got dire earlier this year when it created pain and an oozing, infected wound.

Dixie was shot in the leg 3 years ago and underwent surgery at that time to install a plate to rebuild her left elbow. Meet Dixie J., a 3 year old pup who underwent surgery to fix her leg. Thank you so very much to Harley’s Hope Foundation for your kindness and generosity.” That was Maria’s reaction upon learning HHF would help with her dog’s surgery.
