At GCVS, the health and well-being of your pet and family are our top priority. For your safety, masks or face coverings are now recommended but optional, in compliance with the CDC, state, and county guidelines.

As always, we are committed to our patients and focused on delivering the high-quality care you expect from GCVS. With coronavirus (COVID-19) status continuing to evolve, we want to assure you that we plan to remain open for emergencies and continue uninterrupted specialty care during regular business hours.

We are pleased to announce that clients are invited back into our building and you will be able to utilize our lobby when waiting for your pets.  We are limiting the number of clients in the lobby at one time, so if you need to wait for an extended period, we may ask you to wait in your vehicle. We will continue to offer curbside service for those that wish to use it.
