To ensure the safety of our staff and clients, a limited number of vaccinations are being performed, prioritising those animals most in need or most at risk. If your pet is already registered with us and receives reminders, we will contact you as soon as soon as conditions allow. Your pet’s vaccination may have been postponed temporarily to minimise human travel and inter-personal contact, therefore reducing transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19) within the human population. ...To ensure the ongoing safety of our staff, clients and patients, a limited number of vaccinations are being performed - prioritising those animals most in need or most at risk, whilst maintaining stringent biosecurity protocols.
