Updated COVID policy
effective June 14 2021

1. Check in and history-taking will continue to be performed over the phone to reduce exposure time to clients and staff in the exam rooms
2. After check in, a staff member will meet the client and patient at the door to bring them to an exam room. Currently, we are only allowing 1 client in the building with the patient at a time. Masks are required at all times when in the building due to the close proximity in the exam room for the exam.
3. After the exam, the Veterinarian will discuss all exam findings and recommendations with the owner.
4. Check out will occur at the front desk. We will attempt to limit the number of people at the front desk and will ask clients to wait in the exam room until a receptionist is available. Please maintain 6 foot separation whenever possible as a courtesy to our staff and other clients.

Curbside Visits
will still be available
for those that prefer to
minimize contact with other people

We will continue to request those who were exposed to a COVID confirmed or suspected individual, are not feeling well, have a fever or cough to continue to reschedule non-emergency services or in an emergency utilize our curbside services

Thank you for your understanding

To Our Valued Clients of Roselle Animal Hospital:

We will continue to remain open during the outbreak of COVID-19 and are instituting some policies to keep both you, your pets and our staff safe.

Concierge Medical Visits:

As of today, Thursday 3/19/2020, we are conducting all appointments as "limited contact". Only Medical Staff will be allowed in the clinic at this time. Exceptions may be made for emergency or euthanasia cases .
Please call us from your car upon arrival. We will get relevant medical history from you via phone and the nursing staff will bring consents and treatment plans to you for signatures.
Pets will be escorted into the hospital for all examinations and treatments. Should any additional needs arise, we will contact you via phone to approve any additional charges or address newly discovered concerns. Rest assured our transparent pricing and communication will not change.
If you are picking up medications, a staff member can bring the medications to your car when you arrive. Please call to remit payment via phone for these as well.
Also, please refrain from bringing your children to the clinic. We understand that this is difficult with nearly all children being home from school at this time, however this is essential for ongoing bio-security.

If your pet is scheduled for any non-essential services and you are under self or imposed quarantine, please re-schedue these services.

Thank you for your understanding and patience in this situation,

Dr. Zink and the Roselle Animal Hospital Vet Staff

Happy Holidays from Batman

12/24/2019

The holidays are a time of joy, time with family and friends and exchanging good tidings. The last thing that you want is for this to be a time spent in the emergency room with your pet. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the holidays and keep your pet safe.
High fat foods, such as ham, gravy, butter and desserts, may cause inflammation of your dog’s pancreas. Pancreatitis causes intense abdominal pain and vomiting and requires hospitalization to recover. Keep foods securely sealed and enclosed in a high space or the refrigerator. Secure the lid on the trash can to avoid garbage raiding.
Bones: chewing on bones, particularly turkey bones, can cause splintering. Once swallowed, the splintered bones can cause trauma to the intestinal tract, requiring surgery. Ham bones, while they tend to not splinter, are hard and can fracture teeth when your dog chews on them. Bones can also lead to broken teeth that may need to be removed.
Onions and onion powder: in large enough quantities can cause a sudden onset of anemia.
Foreign objects: such as string (used to tie the turkey), skewers, plastic bags and turkey poppers. Your pet does not have self restraint or the common sense to avoid these objects that drip of meat juices.
Toxins: Mistletoe and holly are toxic plants. Caution with snow globes as they contain toxic antifreeze, which is highly toxic to pets.
Tree:
- Secure the tree to avoid the tree falling onto your pet if they decide to climb.
- Ornaments should be kept on higher branches to avoid breaking, eating and destruction.
- Tinsel should not be used as pets love to play with it and if eaten, can cause serious injury to the intestinal tract and require surgery to repair.
- If you put chemicals in the water of your tree, cover the bowl so your pet does not drink from it.
- Sweep up pine needles to avoid health problems.
Maintain routines: With all of the people in the house, some pets may become nervous with the change in routine. Provide your pet with a retreat space to unwind from it all. Be sure to keep normal routines especially exercise for your pet.
Watch that door: If you expect a large number of people in your home, be sure to watch the door to make sure that there are no unexpected escapes.
If you want to offer your pet something special too, choose alternative treats such as a new toy or extra bonding and exercise time. At the end of the day, you will be thankful you did.
We extend our best wishes for a joyous Holiday Season and a successful New Year.
Holiday hours:
December 24, 2019 8 AM to 2PM
December 25, 2019 Office will be Closed
December 31, 2019 8 AM to 2PM
January 1, 2020 Office will be Closed

Teach Your Dog to 'Look' on Command

If your dog spends your walk lunging at squirrels and barking at people, teaching him this command will be a big help.

Teaching your dog to look on command can help to make novel situations more predictable and gives your dog a way to focus and avoid overreacting to something that might be scary or stressful.
