Covid19 and Vets

Do you take her abroad Arty? As far as I know, that’s the only reason for any dog having a Rabies shot in UK. It’s not routine as far as I know, none of ours have ever had one.🤷‍♀️

Yes, and now I only have her it will be easier 

That could be it then. Booster will keep records up to date, rather than starting from scratch again?

Cassie's due her 3 monthly medicine, our local surgery has re-opened with restrictions in place.

When I arrive I either ring on my mobile or knock on the door, I then wait in the carpark for the Vet to come out and take Cassie into the surgery for her health check and dispensed medicine, the Vet then returns Cassie to me.

Forgot to ask how I pay if I can't go in  perhaps it's free 

Don’t think it will be Metheven😂 Nice try though. Our local vets has just reopened this week, but only for emergencies and meds pick up. I think a lot are looking to put in place screens for reception staff, and other such safe guards. Fingers crossed they can safely re open soon.

We took our new puppy last week for 1st vaccinations. Similar set up to yours. Ring when you arrive, vet has chat on the phone when it's your turn, then comes to the car to collect pet from the boot in suitable container in our case as must walk in 'dirty' ground. Vet nurse rang us after consultation to report on health check findings and pay over the phone by card.

I then walked towards the door, vet nurse opened the door and placed puppy and container on the ground and stood back, I walked forward to collect puppy in container and the paperwork plus worm and flea tablet.

We were a little early and there were at least 2 vets working. One guy must have come as an emergency on foot, in that case the vet came out and spoke in person, with the 2m distance, and then bought the card machine out to him. Not the vet we saw.

Our vet says they are now doing more than just emergencies and that includes spaying etc.

At first our vet was working outside looking at animals, we recently noticed the queue is still outside but the vet is inside and things are easing up a bit.

I needed wormers for my dog. I had to make an appointment then text when I arrived with car make, model and registration and they brought the tablets out to me. Due for boosters in July, not sure how that’ll work.

Our local vets are still collecting pooches from outside, taking them in for checks, etc.... and talking to owners outdoors. Our surgery branch has re opened now, but we are still collecting meds from outside. I think our lad will have to have a check up this next time, as it will be over six months since a vet last saw him.
