Isaac was the best boy for his booster appointment today. He was recently adopted and found his FURRever home just in time for the holidays! He also scored some awesome gifts thanks to Nexgard Plus! He got some cool toys and his mom saved $35 Instantly on his 6 month supply of heartworm/flea/tick prevention! We certainly are thankful to have him as part of our Hilltop Family 💚

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR ALACHUA COUNTY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS

As Milton continues to move towards Florida, there are some very important information that you can use to help make sure that you and your family are prepared.

Local Impacts from Evacuations in South and Central Florida:

We can expect a significantly larger amount of traffic along I-75 from those that are evacuating Central and South Florida. This will likely impact travel times along the interstate and affect fuel stations that are close to the interstate exits

Our Dental Suite is getting a makeover! Our clinic will be closed next Friday, October 11th for a full day of dental training! We did have a good laugh when they took the wall down, it looks as though when they built our practice someone left us a present in all of that insulation…

Hello Hilltop Family! We hope all of you made it through the storm with little to no impact. We lost power and lots of little debris, but all is good! We are open today, phones & internet just came back up. 😃 We are here if you need us! 🐾🐾

A slight distraction from talk; Miss Chloe came in this morning to get her boosters, and we just had to share her cuteness!

As a precaution and safety for our team, we are planning on closing tomorrow (Thursday) at noon and will be closed Friday morning, potentially the entire day. If the weather deteriorates over night, our clinic will be closed tomorrow morning as well.

Please be sure you have everything you need for your pets by this evening. If you need a copy of your pets vaccines, please let us know sooner rather than later. It will take a bit of time to get them all sent.

Please be safe and incase of an emergency with your pets please call UF Small Animal Hospital at 352-392-2235.
