Meet Frannie! 🐾 This cutie pie came in earlier this year for her annual. Turns out her teeth needed a bit of a clean up. Here she is day before and day of dental.

It’s important to take care of our dogs, not only their hair-dos, but their pearly whites too so they dont need dentures when they grow old 🥹 Now Frannie’s got both: great hair💈 and great teeth 🦷 !

04/28/2024

Taking a moment to celebrate this amazing crew who care for your 🐶 babies 🐱 every day. We care for them, and in doing so we care for you. We also care for each other because without each and every one of us we wouldn’t be able to do all that we do. Happy World Veterinary Day to our local veterinary community and beyond! 💞

04/26/2024

Meet Missy! 🐾 This 4 year old kitty came in earlier this year for her annual check up 🩺 and rabies booster 💉. We love seeing healthy young adults, making sure all is well at home, and discussing any questions or concerns that may arise. Great to see you, Missy! ☺️

04/24/2024

TWOFER TUESDAY! Meet Frankie and his sister, Princess Beyonce 👑! We love seeing this sweet, poofy pair whenever they come in 💕

04/14/2024

Meet Rocco! 🐾 This little guy completed his puppy vaccines a couple months ago but we can’t get over his airplane ears! Time will tell if he grows into them or they remain his signature trait. We’ll keep you posted but in the meantime, enjoy! ✈️

Fancy Friday - Cozy edition!🧣

These last couple of days have been chilly, chilly. Daisy is here to remind us to stay warm and snuggled up 🧡 Who doesn’t love a greyhound in a chunky oversized cable knit sweater?

02/21/2024

TWOFER TUESDAY! Meet Kimchi 🧡 and Boss 🩶! They’re two peas in a pod, brothers from the same mother! They do it all together…even dentals! Both boys came in for their first dentals today, and left with nice, clean teeth 🦷 to match their ✨luscious✨ fur. Looking good, boys!

02/13/2024

🏥 Cases at Coventry 🏥: This is Sophie! Why is Sophie dressed up in a surgery gown? Because we didn’t want her to get all dirty! 🫧

💊 Sophie came in last fall after having eaten the contents of an entire bottle of Carprofen (Rimadyl). Her mom brought her in just in time for us to induce vomiting. Due to how Carprofen is absorbed through the GI tract, we followed up by giving her activated charcoal. But first we had to prep the patient! It’s no fun getting black sticky stuff all over your face and fur. Charcoal mess doesn’t have anything on us! 😷

💊 A little on Carprofen: Carprofen is a common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) we use in dogs for acute and chronic pain, like a sore leg or arthritis. It is similar to Advil and Aleve for people. It can be very beneficial, but like any medication it is important to be mindful of its uses and risks. If used incorrectly and with overdoses, we worry about GI bleeding and ulcers, acute kidney injury, liver toxicity, and at very high doses, neurologic signs. ⚠️

02/12/2024

Due to the forecasted inclement weather tomorrow we will be closed, Tuesday February 13th. OSVS will still be open for any emergencies and we plan to reopen Wednesday morning at 8am. Please stay safe and warm!

Meet Zelda! 🐾 We met this little floof a few months ago. Here she is at one of her first puppy appointments: 8 weeks old and weighing less than 4 pounds 📋 She’s so small, her tag is halfway down to the ground! What a cutie 🥹

01/31/2024

TWOFER TUESDAY! Meet Roxy and Roman!🐾 This brother and sister duo started coming to us as itty bitty Rotties. Here they are fresh after some boosters 🩹. They took it like champs and then decided to wrestle in the waiting room 🥰

01/29/2024

⏱️NOW & THEN⏱️
Meet Hank! 🐾 you might recognize him from our early days on instagram. On his first visit we posted a puppy pic and asked, “how big do you think he’ll get?” Well folks, the wait is over. A year later, we can answer that question and show you each step of the way. Swipe to see how Hank transformed from the little fluff ball he was into this handsome man before us 🤎

At 3 months, he was 33lbs.
At 4 months, he was 50lbs.
At 5 months, he was 67lbs.
At 6 months, he was 82lbs.
And at a little over a year, he is 137lbs and quite possibly still growing!

Way to grow, Hank!

Meet Peach! 🐾 This young lady came in for an annual in the Fall and her haircut stole the show 💁‍♀️ Peach is bringing back the bob! 🧡

01/20/2024

Meet Kiwi! 🐾 Playful, sweet, and tangy just like his namesake 🥝 We saw this little guy once a month since September as he made his way through his vaccine series. Here he is in October when he was a ripe two month old kitten! 💚

01/17/2024

TWOFER TUESDAY! Meet Finn 💙 and Jack ❤️! We saw these guys back in the Fall for surgery. You know what they say, the bros that get neutered together, stay together! …Orr they at least can commiserate together and bond over their matching e-collars! 👯

Meet Ricky! 🐾 This little man got neutered last week and was not pleased about his new head wear. After Thanksgiving and a weekend of leftovers, we all may be feeling like Ricky this morning: a bit pooped and not quite ready to get back in the swing of things, but at least we don’t have to do it with a cone on our heads!

11/22/2023

📣 ALERT! 📣 We will be taking a pause tomorrow, Wednesday November 22, from 12:30-1:30pm for our staff to host a Thanksgiving Potluck! 🍁🍗🍠🍽️🥔🥧🍁

We promise to be back in action after 1:30pm through the rest of the day and then we’re back Friday November 24 if you need us and this weekend, normal hours.

But for tomorrow, please excuse us for this one hour while we close the doors, hold the phones so we can gobble ‘til we wobble! 🧡

Time for another Meet the Staff Monday! Featuring Kaya!

Kaya is a Veterinary Technician and Receptionist here at CAH. You may recognize her from our other animal hospital, Salt Ponds! She has been at Salt Ponds for over a year and has been working at CAH for over 6 months 1-2x a week. Kaya says she loves being able to work along side a great group of people. She loves learning new things every day and being able to help all different pets. ❤️

Kayas favorite animal is a horse!🐴 She owns two horses. She also has two dogs who are pictured here, Luna and Navi! 💕 Outside of work Kaya enjoys spending time with her family working around the house and taking care of their little farm! 🚜

Fun fact!! Kaya will be graduating from Johnson & Wales University in May and hopefully going to vet school starting in the Fall! 📚

Meet Sissy! 🐾 She’s very excited to share that November is Senior Pet Health Month 👵 and we’ve nominated her to help us bring awareness to this growing population. Sissy is here to remind us that age is not a disease, but with age comes an increased chance of developing age-related diseases. Kidney disease, heart disease, endocrine diseases like diabetes, arthritis, cancers, dental disease, behavioral changes—the list goes on—these are issues that can arise as pets age. 🩺

Of the previous list Sissy has experience with at least 5 of those conditions including two cancers (both of which were able to be surgically removed) and diabetes. That said her quality of life remains very good which is why this summer when we found her first cancer (a large abdominal mass), her mom didn’t hesitate to take her to surgery. In her gut she felt like Sissy still had a lot of life to live, and boy was she right! Sissy and her family were some of the lucky ones to hear her mass was benign and surgery had been curative. At 16 years young, Sissy is living her best life! ✨

We are very thankful that senior pets, dogs and cats alike, are able to age more comfortably these days as they enter their golden years. That said in order to do this, this special population requires special care and attention which may come in the form of more frequent exams (a lot can change in 3-6 months at this stage), diagnostics, nutritional adjustments, and addressing behavior changes and mobility needs. It’s definitely a team effort but by working together we hope more and more pets can age like Sissy. Here’s to the seniors!! 💖

Happy April fools everyone! Stay vigilant! 👀

Jumping into the weekend like Teddy jumps for joy on his way out after an appointment! 🚀

Time flies! Roughly one year ago we embarked on this Instagram adventure and it’s been so fun! 📸 Turns out we really love taking pictures and getting to highlight our patients and staff alike. In honor of our one year anniversary we thought we’d give you a behind the scenes look at what it can look like when our techs are getting pictures of your babies 🥹 Happy one year of Instagram! 🎂 Or as Dr. Lester still calls it: The Insta’!

Prancing our way into the week like this pup 🎶 Happy Monday!

Guess who we met tonight?! Mary Halsey, Missy Elliott's funky white sister! As seen in her viral video from Goddard Park and then she appeared on Ellen. She have us a sample when she brought in her friend Red tonight. Here's a taste! 😝
