Another reminder to get those pets updated on vaccines and SAFE! We have a very high prevalence of both parvo and distemper in this area, and are very careful to make sure your pets are protected! Remember, parvo virus can be found in the soil for YEARS after an infectious animal sheds it there - come talk to us before those new puppy feet ever hit the ground!

Spots are very limited and on a first come first serve basis, so call today to schedule! A big shout out to these FABULOUS ladies as well as they help us celebrate and contribute to the health of another ADORABLE pup! Thanks for being awesome BVH fam! 🙌

Hey hey! It’s Itchy Pet Awareness Month!! Thanks to a super sweet pup and her sensitive skin, we had the best opportunity to show off a “caudal dorsal” distribution of hair loss along with a little dry, flaky skin to go with it. Nine times out of ten, this is FLEA ALLERGY DERMATITIS, although we are definitely seeing all of our environmental allergy (ATOPY) dogs and cats as well right now! A friendly reminder to stop in and pick up some prescription strength flea and tick control to keep those fleas away! They are fast, furious, and resistant this year, resulting in severe hair loss and itchiness VERY quickly! We keep Bravecto (lasts 3 months), Nexgard (1 month), and Simparica Trio (flea/tick/hw monthly) in stock and easy to access! Let’s stay on top of those itches BVH fam!

I love the genuine smiles and sweet personalities we see each day in this profession ❤️. This lovely lady gives her all to this precious kitten and her house mate at home, devoting her time, attention, resources, and love to ensure she has an incredible life and is in the best of health! What an amazing blessing ❤️❤️. Thank you BVH fam for always being the BEST!

Sunday Adoption Spotlight!🙌. Giving a little shout out for this sweet guy who is looking for his forever home! Rescued off the streets, he couldn’t be sweeter and loves his humans❤️. He does prefer to be an only cat, however, and would do best in a single cat household! Give us a shout and a share, and let’s find this guy a loving family with a happy ever after!❤️❤️

How about some puppy cuteness for your Saturday morning! Did you know that to keep puppies healthy and safe, they should receive their distemper/parvo/adeno virus booster vaccines every 3-4 weeks starting at 6-8 weeks old and going until they are 16 wks old!? Distemper and Parvo viruses are both very prevalent in our area and are extremely dangerous to puppies! Don’t let those puppy feet hit the floor of unknown areas until they are safe and fully vaccinated! At BVH we make this super convenient for you by offering booster appointments with a technician, which can take as little as 10 minutes out of your busy schedule!

Join us in welcoming our newest veterinarian! Dr. Rivera joined us this month, and we are excited to introduce her to our clients. She will be seeing both large and small animal patients.

Dr. Rivera discovered a passion for animals while growing up in a small suburban town in New York. This interest blossomed during college, where she attended North Carolina State University and earned a Bachelor’s in Animal Science with minors in Nutrition and Feed Milling in 2018. After a gap year, Dr. Rivera pursued further studies at the University of Florida, graduating with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and a certificate in Food Animal Medicine in 2024.

In her veterinary career, Dr. Rivera has developed a passion for large animal reproduction, especially cattle, alongside an enthusiasm for small animal surgeries and internal medicine. Joining a general practice in Texas has provided Dr. Rivera with the opportunity to connect with a variety of animals and their owners, fulfilling her desire to make a meaningful impact in the community.

Beyond professional pursuits, Dr. Rivera's compassion for animals extends to her home life, where she enjoys the company of her two female senior dogs, Indy who is a 7 year old pitbull mix and Shay, a 12 year old husky mix. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Rivera finds joy in running long distances, reading, and exploring the great outdoors. One memorable hiking adventure was conquering the Rim-to-Rim trail in the Grand Canyon.

WARNING high temps and heat stress in pets! As we roll into the holiday weekend, please pay close attention to your pets and keep them safe and cool! Yesterday alone we treated THREE cases of heat stress in dogs. Pets are especially sensitive to high temperatures and high humidity, and should be kept safe and indoors as much as possible. NEVER leave your pets in a vehicle, and seek emergency care if you suspect heat stress in your pets. Let’s keep our loved ones safe!
Reminder we are CLOSED on Monday in observance of Memorial Day and will re-open Tuesday for normal business hours (7am-6pm).
