PLEASE DO NOT DISCARD, EUTHANIZE, OR ABANDON YOUR PETS IN FEAR.... THEY ARE NOT A THREAT TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY, NOR YOUR HEALTH. FOR MANY THEY WILL BE THE ONLY COMPANIONS THEY HAVE DURING THESE UNUSUAL TIMES.
MAMMALS OTHER THAN HUMANS CAN CONTRACT CORONA VIRUS, THIS IS TRUE. BUT THE TYPE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE CURRENT HUMAN PANDEMIC AND EXPERTS DO NOT EXPECT OUR ANIMALS TO A RISK.
REGARDING DOGS, CATS, AND COVID:
AS SCARY AS THIS SITUATION IS FOR ALL OF US, PLEASE REMAIN CALM AND CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN HOMES HAVE CATS AND/OR DOGS AND THE NUMBER OF CASES IN OUR ANIMALS WOULD BE AS STAGGERING AS THE CASES IN THEIR HUMANS WERE THEY AS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CONTRACTING COVID-19 AS SOME RUMORS HAVE SUGGESTED. AT THIS POINT, OUR PETS ARE SAFE AND SHOULD REMAIN AS WELCOME AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. THEY NEED US AND THOSE OF US WHO LOVE THEM, NEED THEM. IN FACT, WE WILL LIKELY NEED THEM MORE IN THE COMING DAYS THAN EVER BEFORE. THEY DON'T CALL DOGS "MAN'S BEST FRIEND" FOR NO REASON...
March 20, 2020 - REVISION OF VISITING/ PICK UP PROCEDURES - Effective IMMEDIATELY:
DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND QUARANTINE WE HAVE SUSPENDED ALL IN-HOME VISITS/ PICK UPS INDEFINITELY...
ONCE THE QUARANTINE ORDERS IN P.A. ARE LIFTED, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MEET UP WITH FAMILIES AWAITING THEIR NEW BABIES IN A LOCATION CONVENIENT FOR ALL PARTIES, AND AGREED UPON IN ADVANCE. WE WILL ALSO SEND OUR NANNY TO DELIVER YOUR NEW BABY TO YOUR HOME IF THAT IS PREFERRED AND POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO ENTER ANYONES HOME AT THIS TIME AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, OTHER CUSTOMERS WE MAY BE IN CONTACT WITH ON THAT DAY, AND FOR US!
SOCIAL DISTANCE PROCEDURES WILL BE IN PLACE, AND STRICTLY ENFORCED, INCLUDING A WELL FITTING FACE MASK OVER MOUTH AND NOSE, RUBBER GLOVES/ HAND SANITIZER, AND A MINIMUM OF 6 FEET OF DISTANCE WILL BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
WE REGRET THE NEW PROCEDURES AS THEY AREN'T OUR PREFERENCE, NOR WHAT WE ARE USED TO. UNFORTUNATELY, WE FEEL THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY AT THIS TIME. WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING AS WE ALL NAVIGATE THIS NEW NORMAL. STAY SAFE, BE WELL, AND AS ALWAYS... SAY CHIS!
