Covid-19 Information
In response to the emergent Covid-19 Virus, Headwaters Veterinary Hospital will be implementing the following measures to protect our clients and staff. Aa an essential business, we are remaining open with full operating hours. If this changes, we will post on our website, Facebook and Instagram.
If you have an appointment at our hospital, and would rather not enter the building, we are more than happy to come to your car and retrieve your pet. If you would like us to wear personal protective gear during your interaction, we are happy to do so. If you would like to call us from the parking lot, our telephone number is 406-285-6672. We will ask for a pet’s history over the phone before your appointment to minimize the time spent in the hospital. Our appointment times will be staggered to minimize social interaction. We ask that , if possible, one person attends the appointment. We have, in addition to regular hospital maintenance, increased our disinfection protocol. All surfaces are being disinfected between appointments and patients, including surfaces in public spaces like our lobby and restrooms.
If you are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, and need to bring in an animal for services, please call us prior to your appointment from the parking lot. We ask that you remain in the car and not enter the building. We will be more than happy to come outside and get your pet.
Our website (headwatersvet.com) has an online pharmacy and pet food online ordering option. As of March 20, 2020, they were well-stocked.
We are always available to discuss your animal’s health over the phone. While many medical issues cannot be solved over the phone, we are happy to assist you to see if a visit is necessary.
