Covid - 19 Update

To our valued clients; We wanted to update you on the most recent developments in regards to COVID 19 and our operations at the Groton City Animal Hospital. Currently veterinary practices are listed as essential businesses and will be allowed for the time being to stay open. That said, we are all being asked to limit our services to urgent/emergent care only to both minimize the risk to our staff and clients for transmission but ALSO to conserve supplies. There are veterinary hospitals that are sharing PPE and more critical items like ventilators (!) with human hospitals. Yes folks, it IS that serious. So if you have a routine appointment scheduled with our office in the next few weeks (including surgery) you will be contacted to reschedule that appointment. If you are in need of care for your pet please don't hesitate to call our office, we will do our best to see your pet. If you are not feeling well or your house is under quarantine please let us know at the time you call our office. We will do our best to triage your needs over the phone and may develop a plan to see your pet if absolutely necessary or dispense medication if possible. We are for now open our regular hours, this also may change in the near future.
