Prairie View Animal Hospital - DeKalb, IL

Attention to all Prairie View Clients regarding COVID-19:

We have made a slight policy change regarding our current curbside service. Our goal is to slowly open in the safest way possible for all of our staff, clients, and furry family members. We are still operating on a curbside basis. Please call our office for service and we will direct you further. Our phone lines have been busier than usual (we've even added lines) and we are answering them as promptly as we can! We ask for your continued patience.

For food pick up, prescription refills, technician appointments, and drop off appointments (including surgery and sedation) our policy is still the same. We will handle everything over the phone and a staff member will meet you outside to pick up your pet or place items on the bench.

For doctor's appointments we are now have 2 options:

Curbside (what we've been doing):

• Call from the parking lot to check in and wait for a technician to be matched with you.

• The technician will call you back to get your pet's history over the phone.

• The technician will meet you outside and bring your pet in while you wait in your car in the parking lot.

• The doctor will call you to discuss exam findings, and any questions or concerns.

• A receptionist will call you for payment over the phone and once all of your paperwork and medications are together, everything including your pet will be brought out.

In person (NEW):

• Call from the parking lot to check in and wait for a technician to be matched with you.

• The technician will call you once they have an exam room clean and will escort you and your pet into the building, straight into an exam room. We ask that while you are waiting for your technician, you wait away from the door for anyone coming back out. Please do not enter the building unless escorted by a staff member.

• REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE COMING IN: We are allowing only one person per each animal (euthanasias we allow two). That person must be wearing a face covering that is properly covering their nose and mouth. We ask that you do not leave the exam room unless absolutely necessary.

• The doctor will do the exam with you and your pet in the room.

• After the exam your technician will run your payment up to the front desk while you wait in the room. They will then escort you out of the building.

Please help us make this new adjustment run as smoothly as possible! Again, please make sure no matter what you are here for you call first and a staff member will direct you further. We look forward to seeing more of your friendly faces in person again!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our new policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
