Hermitage Veterinary Hospital

As you know, your pet's emotional health is just as important to our veterinary care team as your pet's physical health. One of the ways we can address this is through prescribing anti-anxiety medications (or Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals, PVPs) prior to veterinary visits or in anticipation of specific procedures.

This strategy is used in human patients as well - for example, patients may be offered medications prior to procedures such as LASIK or MRI diagnostics. Our pre-visit protocols are tailored to each individual patient based on their weight and severity of the stress they experience in clinic, and can make a significant difference in the veterinary experience of many pets.

If you have any questions or concerns about anti-anxiety medications recommended for your pet, please don't hesitate to ask!

One of the reasons we love October is because it is RVT Appreciation Month!

We are incredibly fortunate to have a phenomenal team of dedicated, compassionate and skilled RVT's here at Hermitage Veterinary Hospital.

Our RVT's wear many hats in a day and take on a variety of responsibilities and challenges all in the span of a single shift. On any given day, our RVT's may:

🐾 Assist in your pet's surgery
🐾 Assist in your pet's dental procedure
🐾 Jump in to action to provide life-saving care for your pet who is experiencing an emergency
🐾 Offer nutrition consultations to support your pet's health and weight
🐾Celebrate your new addition with you
🐾 Comfort you as you say goodbye to a beloved family member
🐾Draw blood and administer medications
🐾 Run diagnostics and perform x-rays

And so much more! Our RVT's are invaluable members of our hospital team and this month, we celebrate them and all they do for our team, our clients and our patients! ❤

We're sad to share that our weekly dog walk will be cancelled this week due to the weather conditions. We hope things clear up and cool down a bit so we can enjoy each other's company at next week's walk!
