DISTRIBUTION, PACKAGING & SUPPLY UPDATE | 19/07/2021

Warehouse Operations

  • DHL’s Sydney sites are running a dual shift operation with a deep clean conducted between shifts on equipment and facilities
  • All morning delivery drivers are enforcing the 1.5m rule and do not return to the depot in the afternoon
  • DHL delivery drivers are arriving at hubs or warehouses and parking, pulling truck curtains and then retreating and remaining in the designated driver waiting areas
  • As a result of these safety measures we are temporarily asking NSW clinics to place their orders by 11am, to give the team maximum time to prepare your order for dispatch.

Protecting You and Your Clinic

  • All DHL drivers are issued with gloves and sanitizer in their cab
  • If you are uncomfortable signing to accept an order, the driver can take your name and a photo, to provide a contactless delivery

If you have any questions or need any further information around your deliveries and packaging please contact customer service: customerservice.au@zoetis.com

While some clinics are busier than ever, others have started reducing contact with clients, and may want to take the opportunity to learn from leading experts in areas such as dermatology, heartworm, cytology, diagnostics and more.

The Zoetis Academy has a range of webinars ready to view at a time that is convenient to you, along with upcoming live webinars you can register for.

CLINIC RESOURCES

Recent feedback from some clinics has been that pet owners are unsure whether clinics remain open and what consults clinics are continuing to see.

With this in mind we have created an email template that you can adapt for your clinic usage, informing your customers that you are ‘Open For Business’. This template can be downloaded here.

We have also created social materials that you can use for your customer communications. These materials can be downloaded as one file from here. Alternatively you can choose which tile you want to download below:

In light of the unfolding Covid-19 situation we will continue to create support materials to help you continue to communicate with your customers.  The Zoetis Direct ‘Clinic Resources’ page is also a great support portal which provides you with materials across a variety of our leading products. It includes videos, social and promotional materials for you to use. This portal can be accessed here. 

If there are other resources that Zoetis could provide to support your clinic we would love to hear from you. Feel free to email ben.reay@zoetis.com with any suggestions.

ZOETIS COVID-19 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Is Zoetis still able to send orders to my clinic?
    Yes. Zoetis’ logistics partner DHL remains operational. DHL have introduced split shifts and other measures to minimise the risk of COVID-19 infection.

    Zoetis uses seven warehouses around Australia, so in the unlikely situation that one warehouse requires temporary closing, we can continue to supply you from our other locations.

  • Is Zoetis facing any significant supply issues as a result of COVID-19?
    No. While we have seen an increase in demand for Zoetis products, particularly in the Livestock sector, we retain normal supply levels on key products.

    We encourage you to order as needed, rather than feeling like you need to stockpile products in your clinic.

  • Have delivery times changed as a result of COVID-19 precautions?
    Yes. With split shifts in operation, and time taken to deep clean between shifts we expect most orders will incur a 24 hour delay compared to our standard delivery times.

  • Can I still receive my Zoetis order if states close their borders?
    Yes. Freight and logistics have been deemed an essential service, meaning warehouses can remain operational and delivery vehicles are not subject to any restrictions at state borders.

    Additionally, with warehouses in Sydney (x2), Melbourne, Brisbane, Townsville, Adelaide and Perth, most orders are sent from within the same state you are based, making interstate restrictions irrelevant.

  • What is Zoetis doing to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission?
    To help protect colleagues, customers and the community, Zoetis Representatives are working remotely until further notice, rather than calling on customers face-to-face. There are some exceptions to this for essential maintenance and installations, but only with the customer’s consent.

    In addition to this, our logistics partner DHL have issued gloves and sanitiser to all delivery drivers, and orders can be delivered without a signature, with the delivery driver taking a photo as proof of delivery.

    For metro clinics, orders that were delivered in the yellow biodegradable bag will now be delivered in cardboard boxes, as there are fewer human touches needed to package and deliver a box to your clinic.

    Finally, Zoetis head office staff are working remotely to eliminate the risk of transmission within the office.

  • Are Zoetis manufacturing sites still open?
    Yes, all Zoetis manufacturing sites around the world remain open. We are increasing production to build our stock on hand of key lines.

  • Who should I contact for more information?
