East Oak Animal Hospital Protocols for COVID -19
We are open for medically necessary appointments
COVID-19 Protocols
UPDATED 11/15/2020
East Oak Animal Hospital recognizes that COVID-19 cases in New Jersey and the nation are increasing. Now, more than ever, it is important that we all do our part to mitigate risks to our community. After a staff member tested positive for COVID-19 on 11/13/2020, our hospital was closed for two days and underwent rigorous cleaning and sanitization. We are now open at a reduced capacity. Routine annual health exams and non-emergency appointments may be scheduled further out as our schedule permits. We ask for your understanding if our staff contacts you to reschedule an appointment or procedure. For everyone’s protection, we will be offering curbside veterinary services and product pickups. This means you will be asked to remain in your vehicle while your pet comes inside for their appointment. All dogs must be leashed and all cats and other pets must be in a secure carrier. Everyone should continue to call or text 856-696-4440 when arriving. Please provide your name, pet’s name, and parking space number upon arrival. Please ensure everyone in your party is wearing a mask when the staff and doctors are interacting with you. If you are feeling unwell, please stay home. When exiting your vehicle, please maintain at least 6 feet of distance between yourself, our staff, and other clients. The latest research indicates proper mask wearing, social distancing, and handwashing is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We would like to remind you can order many medicines, prescription pet foods, and supplies through our online store to save you a trip to East Oak. Visit www.eastoakvet.com and click the online store link to create a profile and place an order to be shipped to your home.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we strive to continue providing the best veterinary care under challenging conditions.
Stay safe and take care,
Dr. Jay Van Kooy, Dr. Mary Van Kooy, and the entire East Oak family
