To all of my valued patients,
The health and wellbeing of my patients and clients are of the utmost importance. I am closely monitoring if pets can spread coronavirus and at this time, there is no evidence, per the CDC and WHO. The current situation regarding COVID-19 is stressful and it is important that we maintain options to keep everyone safe while still providing your beloved pet the care they need.
The following actions will ensure you and your pet are able to get the care they need during this trying time, while still ensuring the health and safety of everyone. We are in this together and together we can protect each other and prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.
Below are the steps I am taking to help protect my patients.
Increasing the frequency of our cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, using products known to be effective against viral pathogens.
Flexible with cancellations or rescheduling. I request you call ahead to cancel if you are experiencing a fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath.
Virtual consultations are available and are encouraged. Phone consults include, nutrition assessments, teaching acupressure points, and meridian massages/ sweeps to help with pain, detox, and immune system balancing. We can discuss supplements as well as holistic ways to keep your pets healthy. Remote energy healing and meditation can be implemented to improve overall health and wellness.
For more information and ways to prevent the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 read my latest blog post.

Namaste
