We were a little late in getting around to our holiday party but it was definitely worth the wait. Where else would an animal hospital whose veterinarian has a major interest in marine biology have their party? Why at the aquarium in the zoo of course!!

Wonderful food, wonderful people, and an amazing backdrop made for a well deserved evening out for our staff!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shannon’s Mom. She bravely battled Alzheimer’s for the past 15 years and lost the fight on January 2nd. Many of you know Shannon and know how much she cares for both clients and patients alike, all while trying to care for her family. We hope you will join us in offering her sympathy and support during this difficult time. She is greatly loved and the loss is felt by all of us.

🎊 Happy New Year to our furry and human friends alike! 🎊

💥New Years can be an especially hard time on pets- with the loud noises and flashes and booms from fireworks. Lots of pets are quite scared by these things, and the highest rates of running away occurs on “chaotic” days like these. (Feel free to read through our previous post about keeping your pet calm!)

❣️We at SVAH wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, and can’t wait to see our patients back starting 1/4/1025!

It’s raining cats and dogs out there!!!

⛈️ Just a friendly reminder to keep our furry friends inside and safe away from the elements! Some animals get very anxious or scared during storms.

☔️ A few ways you can help ease your pet includes things such as making sure they are indoors, providing them with a “safe space” like a den area (some dogs even prefer crates), try to provide them with positive distractions to refocus them, and consider keeping blinds and curtains closed. Many dogs often benefit from shirts or wraps (like thunder shirts).

🌧️ Medications for severe anxiety can also always be discussed with Dr. Megan to make sure you stay prepared to keep your baby calm! And it may be tough to see your pet being uneasy, try not to feed into their fear, as they can sense our feelings too!

Stay safe everyone!✨

Many of you may remember Harvey, or recognize him as the logo visual for SVAH by his little golden retriever head. This Christmas, Doreen, our practice manager and Harvey’s mommy, was extra grateful to receive a hand painted portrait of him. She wanted to share his memory with all those that were lucky enough to know him and to continue to honor such a special dog ✨💛✨we love you Harvey!
