With the global pandemic continuing to impact our lives, it is more important than ever that pets and pet parents take certain precautions to ensure they stay healthy and avoid contracting COVID-19. This ever-changing virus continues to perplex many medical professionals. We understand that the health of your pet is a top priority as well, so our team at Bluestar Pet Hospital and Grooming educate pet parents on the changes that are occurring within pet care and new COVID-19 updates. Our pets in St. Johns, Florida, are in safe hands, even as we learn more each day about pet services during this pandemic. Below are common questions asked regarding pets and COVID-19.
What do I do if I get sick with COVID-19?
If you contract COVID-19, it is smart to have a plan in place for the care of your pets during that time. Make sure you have adequate supplies in the event you need to quarantine, both for yourself and your pets, including medications, potty pads, cat litter, and food.
What protocols are in place at Bluestar Pet Hospital and Grooming?
Our protocols are constantly changing due to the increasing information being released regarding this complex condition. We strongly encourage pet parents to call our practice before visiting to determine what protocols are currently in place.
What if I have COVID-19?
Take care of yourself, and quarantine for the safety of others to avoid spreading the virus. While there is little information about passing COVID-19 to your pet, it is still a good idea to reduce contact with your pet while recovering from COVID-19 as a precaution. Consider having your pet stay with someone else during this time to ensure they stay healthy.
