Hey Team UAH! What’s your favourite dog breed?? #uptownanimalhosp #asktheteam #favouritedogbreed

It’s no secret 🤫 We love our clinic lab set up! Thanks to our handy dandy in-house veterinary analyzers, we’re able to run your pets urine and blood samples in as little as a few hours- which means less time between testing to appropriate care options ✨ #GoldStandard #idexx #uptownanimalhosp

Happy May! This month we’ll focus on pet food and nutrition. Just like people, what your pet eats has a direct impact on their health and overall quality of life. This month we’ll breakdown what makes veterinary diets different from pet store or grocery store foods, some myths and facts regarding pet food, and healthier options for treats. #uptownanimalhosp #petfood #nutrition #healthyhappypets

Busy day? Stressed? Need a pick me up? Take 10 seconds to enjoy two sweet kitties-warm and cozy, snuggling under their heat lamp 💕together 💕 #uptownanimalhosp #DopamineBoost #snuggletime

Life lately at UAH 😎📸 This is us and you are the people (and pets!!) that make our clinic go ‘round 🥰 #uptownanimalhosp #lifelately

🩸Trigger warning! This post contains blood and tooth extractions🩸 Come spend the day with us as we accompany Banjo during his dental surgery🦷 Banjo’s mom was alerted early in his puppyhood that he had an abnormal bite and some retained deciduous (baby) teeth. Without veterinary intervention, these dental issues could have resulted in abnormal tooth wear, damage to the soft tissues in the mouth, tooth crowding, tartar buildup and subsequent periodontal disease, and finally ongoing mouth pain😢 Did you know? We check your pet’s mouth at every veterinary visit to help identify dental issues early on and come up with a treatment plan as needed. Retained baby teeth are generally best extracted during your pet’s spay or neuter surgery to limit the times your pet undergoes general anesthesia. Banjo feels like a new man with just a few less teeth! Thank you Banjo for being such a great patient 🫶

Hey Team UAH!! What's something toxic to dogs?? #uptownanimalhosp #asktheteam #TeamUAH

Two baby kitties take on the world 💪🏻🌏 Armed with a team of dedicated vet med mums and 1 surrogate dachshund dad- things are looking bright for these babies 🐱🐱 Follow along as we watch them grow! #uptownanimalhosp
