Effective July 26, 2021

Animal patients now may be brought into the hospital by their owners, but special precautions still are being followed to ensure everyone’s health and safety. Specifically, they are:

Facemasks Required

Facemasks will still be required as the Purdue Veterinary Hospital is following the recent updated CDC guidelines to address the surge in cases associated with the Delta variant.

Maintain Social Distancing

In keeping with Protect Purdue policies, social distancing is required in the lobby areas, which means seating is limited.

Only one Family Member

Due to the limits on lobby capacity, only one family member will be allowed to accompany a patient into the waiting area.

Prioritized Face to Face Interactions

There will be opportunities for face to face communication between animal owners and clinicians. However, priority will be placed on allowing face to face interactions during first-time appointments for new cases.

Curbside Concierge Service Still Available

Curbside concierge service, which involves hospital staff receiving patients from their owners at their cars in the parking lot, will continue to be offered for those clients who still need to minimize direct -contact with others.
