🐾 Keeping Fido Fed- Community Food Drive! 🐾

The cost of pet food has skyrocketed, and we know many families are feeling it. No pet should go hungry and no family should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their furry best friend. 💙

We’re hosting a Pet Food Drive to help support pets in our community who need a little extra help right now.
If you're able, please consider donating any unopened dog or cat food (dry or canned). Every single bag and can makes a difference!

📍 Donations can be dropped off at
Animal Hospital at Thorndale
431 Bondsville Rd, Downingtown, PA 19335

🗓️ All through the month of November

Thank you for helping us keep pets happy, healthy, and home. 🐶💙🐱
Community takes care of community. Always.

With your donation of unopened pet food, you are supporting Chester County residents in feeding their pets because we know that while the bills are still due, we want Fido to still be fed.

Cytology in action 🔬✨

Here, Crystal is performing a cytology, which helps us look closely at what’s going on with your pet’s skin. The process starts with collecting a sample from the affected area and staining the slide (see the video in the comments!) so the cells are easier to see and identify under the microscope.

By looking at the sample, we can determine what’s causing your pet’s skin issues such as bacteria, yeast, inflammatory cells, or even mites. This quick, in-house test helps our team pinpoint the cause of irritation and choose the right treatment plan so your pet can get relief faster!

Crystal’s attention to detail during this process ensures nothing gets missed; just one of the many ways our techs play a vital role in providing top-quality care! 💙

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons pets visit the vet and for good reason. They’re uncomfortable, often painful, and can quickly worsen if left untreated. At Animal Hospital at Thorndale, we see our fair share of itchy ears, and we’re here to help you understand what’s going on inside your pet’s ears and how to prevent future flare-ups.

Dogs head shaking or head tilt, scratching at one or both ears, redness or swelling around the ear flap or canal may have an ear infection.

Wrapping up an amazing Vet Tech Week with a little sparkle ✨
Andrea and Lindsey finished the week by making gem art; a fun, creative break to celebrate all the hard work our techs put in every single day. 💙
This week was all about them; the hands, hearts, and minds behind every patient’s care. At Animal Hospital at Thorndale, we make sure our technicians are truly hands-on; performing advanced skills, learning new procedures, and being utilized to their fullest potential so they can continue to grow and excel in their careers.

We’re beyond proud of this team and everything they do to keep our patients healthy and our hospital thriving. Thank you for making every day shine a little brighter. 💎💙

Our techs are seriously rockin’ it! In this video, Andrea is drawing blood from the cephalic vein… that’s the vein that runs along the front leg of a dog.
Collecting a sample may look simple, but it takes precision, gentle handling, and teamwork to do it safely and comfortably. Andrea locates the vein by feel, and smoothly collects the sample while keeping the patient calm and relaxed. These samples allow us to check things like organ function, hydration, and overall health; all essential for diagnosing illness or preparing for anesthesia.

Andrea has an incredible ability to make even our most nervous patients feel at ease. It’s that calm confidence and compassion that make her such an important part of our team and a perfect example of the care that happens behind the scenes every day.

Meet Andrea, one of our amazing Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs)!
Andrea may be one of the newer faces on our team, but it feels like she’s been part of the family for years. Her calm, caring nature makes every patient feel safe in her hands and her technical skills are truly top-notch.
She’s currently focusing on advancing her anesthesia skills, ensuring every patient under her care receives the safest and smoothest experience possible. We’re so lucky to have her talent and compassion on our team! 🩺✨
