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: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Saturday: 8:00 am-5:00 pm
Sunday: 10am-2pm. Open for technician appointments, and medication/ food pick up.
We are now accepting boarding reservations.
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.
- Please go to the window to the right of the building to let us know you are here, we will collect any paperwork, get a good number to reach you and ask you to remain in your car for the visit.
- 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 directed to the window at the right of the building to check out.
FOOD & MEDICATION PICK-UP:
- If you need a refill of your pet’s food or medication, please call at least 24 hours ahead and you may pick up at the service window during business hours.
Prescription home-delivery is available through our online pharmacy: https://northkingstownah.vetsfirstchoice.com/
We are re-evaluating our policies on a day-to-day basis and changes may be made to keep up with current information and recommendations. We would sincerely like to thank our entire community for your continued support as we work together to get through these challenging times.
