Dear Pet Parents!

Dermatology Clinic for Animals cares for your and our staff health during the Coronavirus issue, and so Effective 3/25/2020, our clinic will be closed and not seeing patients for two weeks.

We will, however, still maintain our phones to ensure any refill requests or questions/concerns are addressed.

For medication refills and food, please provide payment information over the phone and then we would be happy to bring out the meds/food to your car if you give us call when you are in the parking lot.

We are offering a new telemedicine option that will allow us to evaluate your pets via laptop/tablet/smartphones at your home and help provide continuity of care during this time; please give us a call at 253-596-5093 if you would like to schedule a telemedicine appointment. For new clients/patients that we have not examined yet, we are able to offer teletriage/teleadvice to help you work with your regular daytime veterinarian until a normal examination is possible.

Once we resume normal clinic receiving hours, we will again resume these safety procedures:
1. The 48 hour cancellation policy is waived; if you need to cancel we will work with you to reschedule. If you are feeling ill, please do not come in.
2. Please try to print out and complete your client and patient histories from the online forms section of our website prior to coming in.
3. When your pet comes in, we will use our leash to take the pet into the hospital for examination; owner will keep collar and leash, then keep our leash. Cats will be taken into the clinic in their carriers using gloves.
4. We will take any further patient history information over the phone while you wait in the comfort of your vehicle, and after the doctor has examined your pet she will discuss her findings and recommendations over the phone as well and then provide written treatment recommendations.
5. Payment will be taken over the phone after the appointment has been completed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times!
