Curbside appointments are still in place to curb the Coronavirus at Garden Ridge Animal Hospital. Currently, only euthanasia appointments are allowed inside.
Governor Abbott’s repeal of the statewide mask mandate will not change our curbside appointment systems. As an essential business, we have ALWAYS BEEN OPEN through Covid (except for the snowstorm week), just not allowing clients in the building. Businesses in Texas are free to choose what works best for their staff safety. I know many clients have either recovered from Covid and/or had the vaccines, but my staff and I have not. Veterinary employees as a class have not been eligible for vaccines like human doctors and nurses. The curbside system is in place to protect our staff.
At some point in the future, veterinary hospitals including Garden Ridge will begin offering face to face appointments, and then later inside pickup of medicines and foods. I am not sure when that will be. We are weekly reassessing the situation. Stay tuned to the website and my blog for updates.
