<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heart and Paw is a wellness-oriented veterinary center also offering grooming and daycare. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since its inception last June, its mission has been to spread good health for pets, but due to the pandemic, they’ve broadened that mission to ensuring the safety of everyone in their community</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “We want everyone to know we’re still here for them,” says Dr. George Melilo.  “We, too, are very concerned about the public and the safety of our team members, and because of that, we’ve put in place a curbside pickup to provide peace of mind to our pet families”.</span></p>

They’ve updated their sites to include updated information on the health of their staff and the health status of any pet parents who may have contracted the virus.</span></p>

		</div><div id="panel-4034-0-0-3" class="so-panel widget widget_text" data-index="3" >			<div class="textwidget"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They’re also using </span><a href="https://www.podium.com/webchat/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Webchat</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to answer incoming inquiries about their new employee policies, including their “no touch policy”, which encourages curbside pickup at the time of the scheduled visit, and ensures all staff members are using the necessary gear to keep themselves and the pets safe.</span></p>

		</div><div id="panel-4034-0-0-4" class="so-panel widget widget_text" data-index="4" >			<div class="textwidget"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using Podium, their team can more easily stay connected to their customers by sending quick picture and video updates that make their customers feel like they’re in the room. “Our pet parents have actually been loving the curbside pickup and no-touch policy,” said Dr. Killian Lenahen. “We get on the phone, talk them through their pet’s exam, and never perform any services without their consent. It has been working out great.”</span></p>

Texting through Podium has allowed them to stay in touch after appointments, and offer families CDC guidance on how to protect themselves from the coronavirus and ensure the wellbeing of their beloved family members, their pets.</span></p>
