Please help us welcome our new practice manager, Kim! 🎊🐾

Hi Everyone, My name is Kimberly Arce, I have been in the veterinary field since 1996. I have always loved animals and knew that this was what I wanted to do since I was a kid. I was lucky enough to have a Doctor willing to give me an opportunity without having experience. I started out as a receptionist and moved up to technician. Technician work is hard on the body and I was again fortunate enough to find a position as a CSR and eventually CSR supervisor and front office manager.

I have been with my husband for 31 years and married for 24 this October. I have 3 children Victoria just accepted to John Jay College of Criminal Justice for her Master’s degree. Matthew is just starting his college career; he was accepted to Penn State University. My last and the baby of the family is Marcus he is 11 years old and loves all animals and bugs. He is starting 6th grade.

I also have a furry 4-legged baby her name is Luna and she is a 4-year-old German Shepard. There is also a hamster that resides with me her name is Princess Picklebottoms.

I am thankful for the opportunity of being the Practice Manager at Brodheadsville Vet and look forward to working with you all.

Hello!! As many of you know our Dr. Bishop is officially retiring at the end of this week. That said, her DEA license has expired because she will not be practicing medicine any longer. It is ILLEGAL for Dr. Goldstein or Dr. McAleer to dispense, or sign, for any controlled substances to patients they have not seen. PLEASE, do not wait until the last minute to request a refill of controlled meds as the pharmacy, themselves, will be declining your request until another doctor sees your pet.

Please understand…this is not our rule, this is the law, and there will be no exceptions.

Thank you for understanding. 💜

*common controlled substances include but are not limited to, hydrocodone, phenobarbital, Xanax (alprazolam), buprenorphine, etc.

A message from Dr. Bishop:

To my Brodheadsville Vet family,

First, I would like to say it has been an honor and a privilege to have served you and your beloved pet families for these past 4 years!

I am now facing a new season of my life and so, with much thought and prayer, I have decided it is time to retire from vet medicine and spend more time with family and my aging mom. My last day at Brodheadsville Vet Clinic will be August 31st, 2024.

Thank you for allowing me to walk with you and share in the joy when you became a new pet parent. It has been awesome to see the excitement on your faces when you experienced the feeling of that special human-animal bond. Thank you for allowing me to help when your pets were ill or injured, and thank you for the honor of letting me help relieve their suffering when it was time to say good-bye.

Thank you for the beautiful memories. Each of you holds a special place in my heart and I will cherish you always.

God bless!

Dr. Michelle Bishop

Some USDA travel updates from Dr. Stephanie Goldstein! If you or anyone you know plan on leaving or entering the United States with a pet anytime in the near future, please read!!!

For those of you who travel internationally, I want to update you on some important information, since the USDA will change their requirements on August 1st. This includes pets traveling to Canada, Mexico and overseas!

✈️ A USDA-accredited veterinarian, or a doctor in the same practice as the accredited veterinarian, must administer the rabies vaccine at least 28 days prior to travel. This means that if your pet is up-to-date on their rabies vaccine, but your veterinarian is not USDA-accredited, then you will not be able to leave the country. Your pet will need another rabies vaccine given by a USDA-accredited veterinarian.
✈️ An ISO compliant microchip must be implanted into the pet prior to the rabies vaccine.
✈️ Dogs under 6 months will no longer be allowed to travel into the country.

If you are planning on traveling outside the US with your pets, please make sure you contact your USDA-accredited veterinarian early! Otherwise, you may not be able to travel with your pets!

🪱Let’s do some heartworm Q&A for a Golden F***l Container, y’all! WOOHOO!!!! 💩🏆💛

You heard right! We’re bringing back the luxurious Golden F***l Container to the first person who can answer all of our heartworm questions correctly. Gosh, would you just look at it glisten…✨

Lately, the front desk has been inundated with questions regarding heartworm prevention, and when the doctor says no, things can heat up really quick 🔥 so let’s get to the bottom of some of the issues together! 💜

1. Your dog has not been on heartworm all winter. Can you just start giving it again?

2. How long do you have to start your dog on heartworm prevention after a negative test result?

3. How is heartworm transmitted?

4. Staff can’t find your most recent online heartworm prevention purchase in the system…what forms of proof will we accept to approve your script?

5. What can happen if your dog contracts heartworm and you give him/her his/her monthly dose?

LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!! 💜

This week wouldn’t be complete without a HUGE SHOUT OUT AND RECOGNITION of our !!!🙌🏻🙌🏻 CSRS (Client Service Representatives) are much more than a typical receptionist. They strive to answer every phone call, email and voicemail as fast as they can. Schedule appointments according to not only each doctor’s preferences, but according to medical or health status! They have more than a basic understand of medical terminology, medications and health conditions to be a vital part of the veterinary healthcare team! 🏅 they also meet & greet you and your pet, sometimes giving extra treats or extra cuddles! THANK YOU CSRs!!!! 🐾🐾🙌🏻🙌🏻

Miss Lili highly objects to being kenneled, so the girls brought her into dental during proceedures today, but the only place she wanted to be was under Dr. Goldstein’s feet. Best seat in the house, of course! 💜
