You can sign up with the email you provided. If you are unsure what email you signed up with please send us a text and we can confirm what email you have on file.

Happy New Years Everyone!!!

We wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support over the years and look forward to many years to come.

We are happy to inform you that we are having a couple changes that are actively being made through our reminder system and texting system. Our texting line will still stay the same number it has been. There could be a couple kinks while it moves to the new platform. If you do not receive a response from texts in over an hour please reach out as they maybe lost in transition. We will also be sending everyone an email with our new App. It is called Pet Desk if you want to download it early and register with your email on file here that is awesome. The email will have a link to Google Play Store and Apple Apps. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may create. All feedback back is welcome, this is a new system so we do expect a few kinks. Most of them have been fixed already but we are unsure about other ones that might show up. If you have any questions in regards to the app please contact the support number on the app or email our hospital manager Jerry @ [email protected] and he will respond as soon as he can.

Appreciate you all.

Hi Friends,
We wanted to give you a heads up for Halloween!!! DuPont does their annual Trick or Treat on Wilmington Drive for the Kids. They will start blocking off Wilmington between 2-3pm. With that being said we will be open for medication pick up but due to no access to the clinic besides walking through the crowd, we will not be seeing appts after 2pm. We will be handing out candy and be available for medication pick up until the end of the festivities at 5-530pm. Please plan accordingly not only for the fur babies we love but also the little monster costumes for the kiddos. Happy Halloween !!!

Next week, October 15-21, we are celebrating Team Appreciation Week here at DuPont Vet Center. Our team works tirelessly to ensure the best quality care for our patients, and we are asking for the love to be shared! Veterinary Medicine is not for the faint of heart and these are trying times for everyone, so please join in celebrating our Team and the incredible job they do.

Click the link below to send a note to your veterinary team! Whether it’s a memorable moment shared or even just a ‘thank you,’ any positive comments are greatly appreciated.

Not sure how the crazy world of veterinary medicine works? Here’s a run through:

RECEPTION:
Our receptionists are the face of our clinic. Multi-tasking is in their blood! While juggling phone calls, faxing prescriptions, relaying questions to doctors (and so much more!) they still find the heart to give our clients and their fur babies a warm “Welcome to DuPont Vet Center!” We couldn’t be here without them!

ASSISTANTS:
Our doctor’s assistants are a jack of all trades! Between vaccinating, taking x-rays, monitoring in surgeries, filling prescriptions and making sure your pets have an enjoyable experience at the vet, they also provide substantial service to our clients and their loved ones.

TECHNICIANS:
Our technicians find balance in their busy days to execute treatment plans, assist with surgeries, fill prescriptions and even provide nail trims. Whether their day is filed with appointments or surgeries, you can rest assured that their priority is always your fur baby!

MANAGEMENT:
Who else would be able to withstand seven people asking them questions at once? Management finds a way! Dealing with ordering, inventory, shipments, schedules and plenty more, our amazing management team really does it all. Without them there is no coordination to the chaos. Our management team always finds a way!

DOCTORS:
Our doctors use their extensive knowledge and out-of-the-box thinking to find the best treatment plan tailored to each cat and dog. They are continually striving to make the best medical decisions for your pet. You can rest easy knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

Thank you for all of the support! We love you and your fur babies!

To our amazing clients and dog lovers,

We have a situation at the moment where we have a client with a young (~2 years old) healthy Chocolate Labrador who needs some dedicated behavioral modification/training for suspected resource guarding leading to aggression towards other dogs and people. Most of the reported incidents were closely associated with nearby food and or toys +/- a noise trigger in one scenario. The majority of the time this dog is very sweet characteristic of its breed but when these behavior episodes happen she redirects towards other dogs nearby and even bit at a human trying to intervene. Given that these events are inducible and are triggered by resource guarding, it is likely that she can be rehabilitated with some dedicated behavioral training to work through these triggers. Unfortunately, due to the safety of the other dogs in this household, and the physical and emotional toll on this family, the family was forced to make a very difficult decision to try and rehome her. We want this girl to succeed in a home that is more tailored to her behavioral needs and triggers, and we want to help support this family through this difficult decision and process. We are reaching out to our network of dog lovers to see if there is anyone out there that has the time, resources, and interest in trying to rehabilitate this dog so that she not end up being euthanized. The current state of shelters and rescues limits our ability to surrender and rehome behavior work-in-progress dogs, which is why we are asking for help and support through these non-traditional methods.

If you are interested in discussing this case further please reach out to our office and we will put you in touch with the current owners.

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
I wanted everyone to know that July 3-4 we have had some kind of internet issue that has occurred at our hospital. Our IT team is working diligently to resolve the issue. We are currently locked out of our email and communication system. We are able to answer phone calls and do have some access to text messages but very limited and not in a timely fashion. I do apologize for this inconvenience, the areas that this will impact until further notice is email communications, all online orders through outside pharmacies such as chewy or 1800petmeds. If you are waiting for approval through these pharmacies please reach out to them with your order number and let them know that our Fax and email are currently down and may need a verbal if chewy/1800pet needs to speak with us. I will inform you all when it is back up and running.
