Last holiday closure notice of the year!! We will be closed Monday, December 25th and Monday, January 1st. We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

We are currently in the midst of what is being called a suspected mysterious respiratory illness amongst dogs in the US. At this time the best course of action you can take as a dog guardian is to avoid contact with other unknown dogs, common water bowls, and high dog traffic areas ( such as dog parks or boarding facilities). It is also recommended to be up to date on vaccines that can also affect the respiratory system such as bordatella and the bi valent influenza. We will learn about the suspected virus as it evolves and will continue to offer the best care that we can to those in need!

Hello Vesta Family! Just wanted to reach out with an update on us during the Covid-19 quarantine. We are currently still seeing all of our wonderful patients and doing house calls. However, we are following CDC guidlines with our PPE ( personal protective equipment) as well as keeping examinations and treatments outside of your home. We want to thank everyone for letting us still take care of their furry friends while keeping a respectable 6 foot distance from all human family members. Please don't hesitate to call if you have questions or concerns.

Smokey had a wonderful examination in the sunny comfort of his front yard today ❤️
