All of us at Ocean Isle Animal Hospital want you to know what we are doing to keep you safe during the Corona Virus pandemic.

In light of the recent information about the COVID-19 virus outbreak, we want to assure you that your health and safety, and the health and safety of your beloved pet, is of utmost concern to us. We are doing all we can to keep you, your pet, and our staff as healthy as possible.

At this time, we remain OPEN for NORMAL business hours. The ways that we are trying to limit illness spread, but still provide quality care to your family are:

We will offer curbside service for medication and food pick up. Stay in your car, we will bring your product out to you.

We are practicing strict hygiene and cleaning protocols in order to slow the spread of germs.

We are monitoring the CDC and American Veterinary Medical Association in regards to the COVID-19. At this time “infectious disease experts and multiple international and domestic human and animal health organizations agree there is no evidence at this point to indicate that dogs and cats can become ill with COVID-19 or that they can spread it to other animals or people”.

We encourage you to take good care of yourselves and limit social contact when possible. If you are sick, try to stay home. Cover your cough. Wash your hands frequently. We will be doing this too. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

With your health in mind,

Gary Stutesman, DVM
