Yes, we are open! North Kingstown Animal Hospital has been privileged to be part of the local community for 47 years and we are remaining open to continue to provide the same quality veterinary care for your pets that you’ve come to expect from us.
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what precautions we are taking against COVID-19 and what to expect when you arrive at the animal hospital.
We are following recommendations set forth by the state of Rhode Island. Our staff are wearing masks and other PPE where appropriate and we are regularly cleaning and disinfecting our facility. We are working with a limited staff and ask that you are patient as we do our best to meet the needs of all our clients. We are not currently allowing clients in the building.
Our hours have been adjusted as follows:
Monday – Friday: 8:30 am – 6:00 pm
Saturday: 8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Sunday: CLOSED
WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE ANIMAL HOSPITAL:
- Please arrive ON TIME for your appointment and bring a charged cell phone as this is how the doctors will communicate with you during your pet’s visit.
- Call us when you arrive at the hospital (401-295-9777) to let us know you are here.
- A technician will come out to meet you to collect your pet and review what they are being seen for. We ask that you get your pet out of the car at this time to facilitate the hand-off. All dogs must be leashed and all cats must be in carriers. Cats presented without a carrier WILL NOT BE SEEN. This is for the safety of your pet as we are located on a busy road.
- The doctor will complete his/her exam and contact you at the phone number you provide us to review his/her findings.
- You will then be connected to the front desk to check out. Credit card transactions are being completed over the phone. If you prefer to pay with cash or a check payment will be collected when your pet is brought out to you.
FOOD & MEDICATION PICK-UP:
- If you need a refill of your pet’s food or medication, please call at least 24 hours ahead.
- When you arrive to pick up your order please call us from the parking lot. Payment will be handled over the phone and a staff member will bring out your order.
