LAKE COUNTY VETERINARY CLINICS, PLLC
COVID-19 UPDATE

Effective July 5, 2022, we have loosened our COVID-19 policy. The process of the new plan is outlined below:

• Upon arrival, remain in your car and call the clinic to let us know that you have arrived in our parking lot.
• If you would like to accompany your pet inside, you should still call us on arrival and wait in your car until a staff member can escort you directly into an exam room with your pet.
• Each pet can be accompanied by ONE family member. Our exam rooms are small and do not allow us to be six feet apart.
• For end-of-life care, we will try to remain outside to accommodate your entire family. We ask that everyone still wear a mask, even outside due to the potential increase in the number of people.
• Masks will be RECOMMENDED however not required. If you choose to wear a mask, THE MASK MUST COVER YOUR NOSE AND YOUR MOUTH.
• We still encourage and support the use of masks for anyone who so desires. If you would like us to wear a mask during your visit, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate your request.
• If your pet is sick or injured and needs extensive treatment or diagnostic work such as
  x-rays or lab tests, we may request that you wait in your car or leave them at the clinic until they have been treated; this is due to room and time constraints.
• At the end of your appointment, a staff member may request that you return to your car for check-out to avoid congestion in our lobby and exam rooms.
• If you are only picking up medications or food, please remain outside and a staff member will assist you.

Please remember we are all trying our best to keep everyone safe and ensure the health of our clinic so we can continue to serve you and your pets. Our policies may change due to updated guidelines at any time from the CDC and the State of Minnesota.
