Veterinary clinics should be classed as an essential service.

Veterinary clinics should be classed as an essential service.

The issue

At this point in time Vets are not classed as an essential service. The AVA has been trying to get this changed but so far no luck.
My dog requires medication everyday, how do I get this when it's the next time to get her next lot of meds.
Animals get sick but can't do telehealth with a vet as they cant communicate what's wrong so the vet needs to see and clinically check them out.
I am so cross. Most pets are an essential part of a family's life and well being. Many animals are actually life savers for their owners so they need to be cared for like anybody.
