We just heard and we are so proud! Our own Rhubarb won the contest for Cincinnati Parks Foundation!
If you see her the next time you are in give her a congrats! We are sure she'll get extra treats for her win.
Great job Rhubarb!

A thunderous round of applause for Rhubarb, our WINNER and newest Cincinnati Parks pup ambassador! 🏆
Rhubarb’s heart belongs to Mt. Airy Forest, her favorite Cincinnati Park. She loves exploring the trails, stopping to sniff all the wonderful scents, and marveling at the beauty of the native flowers and towering trees. The iconic treehouse is her go-to spot.
Fall and winter are Rhubarb’s favorite seasons to explore the park, where she might even spot a wild turkey or a deer on an early morning hike. Mt. Airy Forest offers endless adventure, and Rhubarb has made it her playground in every season.
As our champion, Rhubarb is now a proud Cincinnati Parks pup ambassador, helping us share the joy and beauty of our parks with pups and people alike. Congratulations, Rhubarb, on a well-deserved win and for being a true star of Cincinnati Parks!

Update: Chai has been adopted! 😁

Hello friends! We once again have a little kitty friend available for adoption. Say hello to Chai! This cute dilute tortoise shell kitty was found in Northside by a Good Samaritan. We don't know much about her background, other than she is very thankful to be inside and out of the cold!

We are looking for someone who can give Chai a calm and loving home where she can let her true personality shine. While she is well taken care of here, the hospital environment has become increasingly more stressful for Chai - this has resulted in some behavioral issues that include scratching and biting. We fully believe that once she decompresses in a less stressful home environment, she will be a wonderful companion. Just like chai tea, she is sweet with a little spice!

Chai is estimated to be between 2-3 years old, has been spayed, fully vetted, and tested negative for FIV/FELV. We do not recommend she go to a home with small children, but Chai may do well with other cats and dogs.

Please contact our office if you have any questions about Chai, would like to come visit her, or apply to adopt her. Thank you!

Update: Paprika has been adopted! Thank you everyone!

We have a very cute little kitten available for adoption at Howell Avenue Pet Hospital. Everyone say hello to Paprika!

Paprika is a 9-week old female - she had received her first round of shots, dewormed, and tested negative for FIV and FELV! Although she looks very comfortable in this picture, Paprika is a little nervous about being here and would be much happier in a home. She would do well in a home with other cats who can teach her the ropes, but may not do well in a home with small children as she can be a little feisty😁

If you are interested in adopting Paprika, visiting, or have any other questions, please give us a call at 513-221-3404, or send us an email at [email protected]
Thank you!

Howell Avenue Pet Hospital will be CLOSED this Thursday July 4th. Please plan accordingly if you need to pick up medication or prescription food. If you feel like your pet would benefit from a sedation medication to help with firework/noise anxiety, please call our office! Here are some other tips to help our pets through this celebration:

1. Keep your pets inside during fireworks.
2. Provide a safe, secure, and quiet area.
3. Exercise your pet earlier in the day - tire them out with a nice long walk or extra playtime so they can rest easier.
4. Provide vet approved pet safe sedation.
5. Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with up-to-date ID tag and up-to-date microchip info.
6. Do not leave out human food, alcohol, party trash, or firework remnants.

In the event of a medical emergency, please contact MedVet Cincinnati, Care Center Vets, Grady Veterinary Hospital, or Veterinary Emergency Group.

As we approach summer, please reach out to our office if your pet experiences fear/anxiety due to fireworks or loud noises. We can help make these holidays easier.

We hope everyone has a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!

UPDATE: Reba has been adopted! Thank you everyone who took interest in her and/or shared her post!

Say hello to Reba! This wonderful little girl is available for adoption. We found homes for all of her kittens, so now it is her turn for a happy forever home.

Everything about Reba is adorable - but especially how little she is. She is fully grown, but could be mistaken for a kitten. She is a little over a year old, spayed, fully vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

If you would like to meet her, she will be in the office today and tomorrow (1/31 & 2/1), and other TBD dates. Stop by anytime!

Every year, it seems we have a special friend who is looking for a home for the holidays - This year is no different!

Say hello to Squeaky! This sweet boy has had quite the journey, and would love to find a forever home for the holidays. Squeaky has been a patient of HAPH for several years, but was surrendered to us by his previous owner. We would love to give this sweet boy a second chance at a happy life with a family that can accommodate some of his needs.

Squeaky has some gastrointestinal issues (kitty IBS) that require him to be on a special prescription fiber increased diet. His gastro issues are 100% under control, as long as he sticks to this diet (otherwise he has bouts of diarrhea). He eats Royal Canin Fiber Response, and he loves it! Squeaky is what we consider a "social eater"; He loves to chow down while hanging out with a human friend. Squeaky would do best with someone who works from home, or is home often as he gets lonely without a human friend. He LOVES attention and would love nothing more than to sit next to you all day. He would not do well in a home with a large or energetic dog, or a home with lots of other cats. Squeaky is about 6 years old, neutered, current on all vaccines, and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

If you have room under your Christmas tree for another gift, let us know. Squeaky is currently being fostered by our practice manager Erin B., who would be happy to bring him into HAPH for a meet and greet!
