Providing Pro Active Veterinary Care For Your Pet
*fee applies
Safe for you - safe for us!
Castle Veterinary Centre offers veterinary advice and care for pets within an environment that is safe for both animals and their owners. We are proud to have been one of the few practices locally – and indeed nationally – that has continued to allow clients and pets into our premises throughout the COVID pandemic. This enables us to take a history and discuss a pet’s problems with a degree of privacy and without the distraction of traffic noise. Patients are then taken to be examined remotely before the staff return to discuss treatment and ongoing care with the owners.
This system allows social distancing to keep you and our staff safe, and so Castle Veterinary Centre will continue to follow our tried and tested COVID consultation methods from 19th July - protecting staff and clients who may not yet have had the opportunity to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus infection - until we believe that it is safe to allow closer contact during consultations.
Importantly, this also reduces the risk that staff may be asked to isolate under the Test and Trace system, as it prevents close contact with someone who might then test positive. Such staff isolation would potentially force temporary closure of the practice, putting the health and welfare of our patients at risk. If you are exempt from wearing a mask or continue to feel safer with greater social distancing, please inform a member of staff and you will be asked to wait outside, where the vet will speak to you before examining your pet.
Thank you all for your patience and for the many good wishes that we have received during the pandemic.
