                       Corona Virus Update

​

We at EPV want to assure all our current and future clients that we are remaining open during this crisis in order to provide necessary services to our patients and their families. However, we are taking some stringent precautions in order to keep everybody safe and healthy. We are asking that pet owners remain in their vehicles upon arrival for appointments and call our number to let us know you have arrived. The number is 607 291-4021. We will send someone out with an EPV leash to escort your pet into and out of the building. Our personnel will be wearing N95 respirator masks and latex gloves. Our personnel are also washing their hands multiple times a day and using hand sanitizer in between. We are well-stocked with antimicrobial soap, hand sanitizer, bleach and several other disinfectant products. We will be regularly disinfecting the leashes we use and will disinfect the outside of containers containing herbals or other medications. Although we love to send home our herbals in our fancy EPV bags, we will need to discontinue this practice for a while, as the novel coronavirus can persist on paper products for some time. Payments can be made via phone, or one of our staff can take payment when returning your pet. If you use a credit care, we will disinfect your card before returning it to you.

If you feel at all ill, especially if you have respiratory symptoms, please do not personally bring your pet to an appointment. Even with the precautions we are taking, the risk of disease spread must be taken very seriously. Of course, we also want you to stay home and recover. If possible, find someone who is not feeling ill to transport your pet. Similarly, if you know you have been exposed to someone who either has tested positive for COVID-19 or was exhibiting symptoms, follow the same protocol. 

As our regular clients know, we are a pet wellness center, focusing on integrative care (with emphasis on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine or TCVM). We have many geriatric patients who need regular treatments to manage chronic pain. If your pet has a problem that you are unsure if we can assist you with, feel free to call and ask. If we can help, we will; if we cannot, we will do our best to find the best resources for you and your pet.

We are looking forward to when this pandemic is over, and all our clients can once again interact with us face to face. All of us at EPV hope you and your pets remain in good health.
