Is Rabies Virus Really A Risk For My Pet

Dear Clients,

Champlain Animal Hospital is committed to doing everything possible to combat the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. As part of this commitment, we will be instituting the following precautionary protocols to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!

2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

For the safety of yourself, our staff, and the community we are limiting the number of clients inside our building. We have initiated a semi-open-door policy to allow one person inside the hospital while your pet is here for a scheduled exam with the veterinarian.
Prior to your appointment, please review the Covid-19 Screening questions on our website.
Please call 705-742-4243 when you arrive for your appointment for further instructions from one of our team members. At this time, technician appointments will continue to be performed while you remain in your car.
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method.
Continue with curbside pickup of food and medication (unless you have used our online store and are having your order delivered directly to your home). To place an order through our online store, visit our website and click on "Online Store".

3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE

If you wish to connect with a veterinarian via message, phone or video, visit our website and follow the "Online Consultation" link.

We are OPEN with the following hours:

Monday to Friday: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

Thank you for your patience and understanding and we look forward to seeing you and your furry family members again!
