Coronavirus (Covid-19)

We recognise that there are many questions surrounding the transmission of Coronavirus (Covid-19). As the situation is changing rapidly, we may issue further updates in due course. 

 

Currently The World Organisation for Animal Health states that "There is no evidence that companian animals, such as dogs, play a role in the spread of this human disease or that they become sick." 

 

If you are diagnosed with Coronavirus, the NHS England recommends that you self isolate to include restricting contact with your pets before calling the NHS 111 number. 

 

If you have travelled to an affected country, suspect you have been in contact with someone who has coronavirus or have symptoms associated with the virus, please do not visit the surgery and instead call us for veterinary advice on 0208 207 0826
