COVID-19 Statement from Back Bay Veterinary Clinic

COVID-19 Update

Dear BBVC Clients,

As of June 14th, 2021, we formally opened our clinic to limited in-person appointments.

During this transition, we ask for your understanding with the following guidelines:

  • We will continue to hold procedure check-ins and discharges, technician appointments, and some urgent care appointments curbside.
  • Please do not enter the building if you are experiencing any potential symptoms of COVID, including cough, fever, and shortness of breath, or if you have had a recent positive COVID test or exposure.
  • Masks are required at all times, regardless of vaccination status
  • Only one family member is permitted to accompany their companion into the office. We’re happy to dial in additional family members during the consultation.
  • In some cases, our teams may continue to handle communications primarily over the phone.

Of course, if you prefer that your companion’s appointment be handled in a curbside manner rather than in-person, we are happy to accommodate this as well. Just let us know when scheduling your appointment, and call when you arrive.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this change together! We are thankful for your patience in getting to this point, and we are eager to see you again (and formally meet those of you that we have not yet had the opportunity to greet in the office).
