Our patients have a real lot of nerve showing up and looking this cute. We’re WORKING, for Pete’s sake!

06/27/2024

Yo fam! We feel incredibly lucky here at Easton Vet to be surrounded by the best team: Hannah, Cliff, always-behind-the-scenes Ravi, and, when we can pull her away from vet school, Rebecca.

Today though, we’re celebrating Hannah’s birthday 🎂. We’re wishing her an awesome year, filled with animals, adventures, and wonderful surprises.

If you happen to drive by and see the sign, feel free to give Mello a quick birthday honk 😊

Happiest of birthdays, Mello!

It’s with broken hearts that we share with our Easton Vet family that we lost one of our own today.

Maila, who defied her prognosis by being her silly, adventurous, mischief~making self for months beyond what we were expecting, rapidly declined this weekend and, unwilling to allow her to suffer, we put her to rest right in the field so many of you know well. She got to enjoy one last hike at Brett Woods, where she did her best to catch some squirrels and met two puppies just beginning their lives. After some post hike chocolates, our girl went out with her tongue in a bowl of tapioca.

Maila was an incredible friend: protective (sometimes a tiny bit too much so 😬), loving, crazy athletic, and absolutely fearless.

She climbed trees and jumped every single fence she found herself on the wrong side of. Just a year or two ago, she broke through our kitchen window to catch a skunk~right as one of our families looked on (it was especially fun to confirm that the red dog outside triumphantly shaking the poor creature around was, in fact, the veterinarian’s dog 🙊 ). I called Maila our fearless warrior, which she was from the very first day I picked her up.

Although the pain of her loss is insurmountable, there’s some measure of comfort in knowing our girl went peacefully and with dignity after over 13 years of living a very big life full of love and adventure.

You won’t have to jump any more fences, Maila: someone’s left all the gates open for you. ❤️

We’ve lost many wonderful friends here at Easton Vet recently, and know many of you, too, are grieving. We would love it if y’all would share a photo (or two) of the beloved companions our Maila will be joining on the other side of the rainbow bridge. And, please give the friends with you now extra smooches tonight ❤️

Well, Polo certainly hasn’t wasted any time settling into the weekend 😂. We hope everyone’s is as relaxing as his!

04/02/2024

I wish I didn't need to post this reminder, but please slow down and keep your eyes on the road when driving through our little town. We just had a devastated family bring their not even two year old canine friend in after she had been hit by a car. Although we did everything we could, this beautiful girl passed away while Dr. Dan was performing CPR. Her family is beyond heartbroken, as are we. We don't want this to happen ever again.

Exciting news over here at Easton Vet! Due to his utter lack of productivity, Sir Mitchell Greenjeans has been promoted to COO. Fun fact: He’s the second cat in Easton to be named after our veterinary predecessor, Dr. Mitchell Greenberg. Another fun fact: when Dr. Dan was at vet school in Grenada, he ordered “the best ever” chicken from a man named Mr. Greenjeans. So all sorts of good vibes went into this guy’s name 💚.

01/16/2024

We’ve hired a part time catssistant, full time cutie over here! This ridiculously handsome fellow has spent a few days with us recovering from major surgery, and productivity is now at an all time low 😂. He’s inserted himself into ALL the office activities, as well as our hearts ❤️

12/04/2023

We like big heads, and we def can’t lie! Polo is just one of Cliff’s three gorgeous friends. All well mannered, smushable loves. Got training questions? Cliff’s your man 😊

11/22/2023

BEST UPDATE EVER!! Cartie IS HOME!! Thank you to everyone for sharing and keeping an eye out for this majorly adorable friend! 🥰

UPDATE 11.18.23: Cartie’s family received information that Cartie might have been seen being walked on Morehouse Rd near Fairfield.

**DEVASTATED FAMILY IS LOOKING FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FRENCHIE** Easton Vet fam, let's come together and get this friend home!! Please call/text 203.551.1789 with ANY sightings. Although this little nugget is friendly, she could be confused, hungry, and disoriented, so please don't chase her. Feel free to share this post far and wide! 💕

10/26/2023

We wanted y’all to know that we will be closed this Friday to help our fabulous nurse celebrate her marriage to TJ Kerrigan. While we sometimes get asked if Hannah is our child, she actually isn’t and although we love this girl to pieces, we’d spend every single minute of every single day worrying about this firecracker if she was (and we often do even though she's not!) . So anyhow, sometimes it does feel like this brave, animal loving, wild souled woman is, in fact, our first born. So we’re very excited to celebrate Hannah’s marriage to a great guy on Friday. Please check your medication supplies, and should anything happen while we’re closed, please contact bond Vet in Westport at 203.309.3331 for urgent care, and Shoreline in Shelton at 203.929.8600, Med Vet in Norwalk at 203.838.6626, or your closest 24 emergency clinic for life threatening emergencies (although we’re hoping for a healthy weekend for all)!

10/21/2023

Happy Caturday, EV fam! We hope everyone has a purrfect weekend (being a bit unoriginal here but honestly couldn’t help myself). We appreciate y’all! ❤️

10/05/2023

Man, it was really raining cats and dogs last week! Well, I guess just dogs. Doodles, specifically. Thank you, True North Australian Labradoodles, for bringing all this goodness into our day!!

09/18/2023

Anyone out there looking for a new, outrageously handsome best friend? This guy is being fostered by one of our families, and this is what they've got to say about Brownie:

Brownie is a loving, family friendly dog looking for a new home. He’s dog friendly, people friendly, and super loving. On top of it, Brownie is house trained, crate trained, has been vaccinated and is neutered! He's currently being fostered in Stamford but is anxious to find "his" people or person. Rehoming fee, vet reference, and proof of home ownership/landlord approval required. Please text Doug if you think Brownie might be the guy you've been looking for: 203.803.9832

~Super Important Information about the Month of August, Please Take a Moment to Read this Super Lengthy Post~

We apologize for the inconvenience the chaos of the upcoming weeks causes anyone; between additional medical testing for Dr. Dan, new floor installation, vacation for us, and giving a much needed break to our team, there’s been a lot of moving parts for us to manage.

Dr. Dan and Annikki will be out of the office starting Monday, August 7 and back in on Tuesday, September 5th.

Cliff and Hannah will be in the office 9a-5p and 9a-3p the week of August 7th for med refills, tech appointments, and phone calls. Additionally, we have a relief veterinarian in on the 7th, 8th, and 11th.

Floor installation begins the week of August 14th, and from then until August 25th, we cannot have anyone in our building. However, Hannah will be in from 9a-1p on the 14th and 16th for calls and medication refills. She’ll be able to take payment over the phone and leave the meds in the foyer. Again, the office will be otherwise completely closed while our new flooring is installed. During this time, if your friend experiences an urgent, non life threatening issue, we recommend calling Bond Vet in Westport at 203.309.1113; they are open M-F from 9a-7p. For the medical emergencies, we recommend Med Vet in Norwalk 203.838.6626, Shoreline in Shelton at 203.929.8600, or your closest 24 hour hospital.

Finally, Hannah and Cliff will be back in the entire week of August 28th from 9a-5p Mon-Thu and 9a-3p on Friday. Our relief vet will be in on the 29th and 31st.

Please take a moment to check your medication supplies to ensure you’re able to obtain refills if needed, and also feel free to share this post with your non Facebook human friends. And again, we apologize for the chaos~it’s been a difficult few months for us, and we just couldn’t figure out a better way to accomplish further medical testing, interior office remodeling, a break for our team, and a vacation for us. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we appreciate all of our Easton Vet fam-humans and non humans alike ❤️

We love our Eleanor madly, so we happily allow her to engage in her paper and cardboard shredding hobby. However, before she went to town on this particular box, Eleanor wanted to remind everyone who uses prescription flea, tick, and heartworm products that we sell them at $15 - $30 less than any online retailer. We also sell many popular medications at significantly lower prices. We get how expensive it can be caring for our furry family members, so we’re committed to keeping costs as affordable as possible. Thanks for coming to Eleanor’s TED talk, she’s got some shredding to do. 🥰

07/11/2023

Guys, we just wouldn’t be good people if we didn’t share these photos of some of our crazy good looking patients. On especially busy days, we sometimes have families drop their friends off to give us time to provide the care they need. Which, of course, includes a whole boatload of love 💕. Thanks for trusting us with all your good (and naughty, we don’t discriminate!) boys and girls, fam.

Anyone looking for a pair of outrageously sweet older friends? Although Romeo and Buttercup are seniors, they both have so much love to share. Please contact Red Leash Rescue if you have room in your heart to help this lovable duo enjoy their golden years together. We will provide medical services at a 20% discount!

06/30/2023

Okay, I know y’all can relate: you can take 39 freaking photos or your animal friends, and EACH ONE is worth saving.

These two German Indian shepherds came in for their first visit with us. Can you tell they love each other?! Such a sweet duo, and their parents are exactly our kind of crazy: not only do they have these two new friends, but two kittens were waiting for them back at home 🐱

I also wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed on both Monday July 3rd as well as the 4th. Hannah and Cliff, our incredible technicians, have been instrumental in keeping the ship running while Doc has been dealing with his own medical issues. This short break is a well deserved one. Please check your medication supplies to make sure you have enough to last through the long weekend. I will also be checking emails at least once daily, so if you do happen to run out of a necessary medication, I’ll be able to leave it in the foyer for you.

We hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend, and that the fireworks are over quickly for the sake for all of our friends who are terrified of them!

Any chihuahua lovers out there? Blanche (the tan cutie) is currently available for adoption through Red Leash Rescue. This girl is a true sweetheart with a wonderful personality (not to mention her ethereal beauty 😊), and will be a delightful addition to her new family. Red Leash has other adorable friends looking for forever homes, too-please check them out on Facebook or at redleashrescue.com. ❤️

05/18/2023

This is Archie, an impossibly sweet, devastatingly handsome, very good boy. Archie hurt his leg today, and spent some time commiserating with Dr. Dan. They were trading stories about how awful it is to not be able to play fetch or, in Dr. Dan’s case, play hockey. I think both of them felt much better after their heart to heart 💕

04/25/2023

Things that make us very happy:

1. Adorable, sweet, smushy faced Schuyler BEING IN REMISSION FROM LYMPHOMA!! 🥰

2. This gorgeous, snuggly, and thoroughly lovable boy Gandolf. 😊

3. The perfect little paw prints cats leave behind on exam tables. 🐾

4. The overwhelming kindness of our Easton Vet family. Each day you all remind us that huh, we actually DO like humans as much as we like their feline and canine counterparts 😉. We appreciate your patience as we anticipate continuing our modified schedule for at least the next two weeks. Our most current updates are always on our outgoing voice message. I wish I had the time to thank each and every one of you individually for being so wonderful during our difficult time. ❤️

04/13/2023

We wanted to let you all know how much we appreciate your kindness, patience, gifts, cards, and well wishes during this difficult time. We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful extended family, and your thoughtfulness has meant so much to us.

Dr. Dan is currently recovering from a concussion and still has several specialist appointments scheduled. So, we do anticipate some continued changes to his schedule through at least next week.

Of course we want to make sure we can still provide care for all of our beloved animal friends. As Dr. Dan currently isn’t able to handle excessive stimulation, we are returning to curbside appointments through at least Tuesday, April 18th. We will see any same day sick appointments/double bookings as drop offs. Pet parents are still welcome inside, though, for medication pick ups and technician appointments. Our hours for the remainder of this week and all of next will be 9a-5p. We hope to get back to normal as quickly as possible, and will continue to keep you updated.

Pictured below are two ridiculously adorable floofballs, Chase and Otto, who were with us today. I can assure you that Dr. Dan hasn’t smiled once at any of his own medical appointments; I’m beginning to think that our canine and feline Easton Vet family members are indeed the best therapy. ❤️

And again, we’re so grateful for y’all.

04/02/2023

Hey Easton Vet fam ~ Dr. Dan is experiencing medical issues which landed him in the ER today, and which require immediate medical follow up this week. For now, I will be rescheduling all of our Monday and Tuesday appointments. The office will remain open for medication refills, technician appointments, and general guidance. Additionally, for now at least, Dr. Dan will be available to us for consultations regarding bloodwork and radiographs, so please still call us for direction if your friend isn’t feeling well.

We’re so sorry to make such abrupt scheduling changes, but we’re quickly learning that life throws everyone curve balls sometimes ~ and we’re working hard to catch the current ball without too much disruption of the game (I hope that was the correct analogy! My understanding of baseball is embarrassingly limited 😳). Please know that we are so grateful for your patience and understanding as we navigate to the other side of this.

As a child, I read the Chronicles of Narnia over and over; I was enchanted by the idea of a whole other secret, magical world existing behind a bunch of coats in a wardrobe. However, as an adult, I’ve decided that I would much prefer to be greeted by this majestic silver furred creature than a snow queen offering Turkish Delight.

Remy, in all (27 lbs!) of his astounding beauty and goodness, is mostly Maine c**n but part mythical creature.

While we were very close to losing this very good boy, his family persevered against the odds…and today, we can happily say that Remy has beat what is typically a fatal disease. The road was long, arduous, and emotional…but one well worth traveling.

It fills our hearts with joy to know that this friend of ours owns a family that truly went to the ends of the earth for him. That we get to bear witness to this kind of animal-human bond on a daily basis is a blessing indeed.

We love you, Remy, and are grateful to your people for trusting us with your care (though they truly did the hard work).

We can’t say it enough: our Easton Vet fam just rocks 🥰

02/20/2023

Move over, Valentine’s Day! There’s a newer, MUCH more important holiday we can all get behind: National Love your Pet Day! 💕 So, Easton Vet fam, let’s show Hallmark where the future of greeting treats, um cards, is headed: photos of your beloved friends in comments, please! (We feel especially lucky: we have our own pets to love, but we get to love all of yours, also 🥰)

02/09/2023

*PURINA PRO PLAN RECALL*
Hey Easton Vet fam, although we much prefer to post photos of our exceptionally
good looking patients, we wanted to make everyone aware of the recent recall of Purina
Pro Plan Elemental. While we don't carry prescription diets in our office, we know that
this food is commonly prescribed for doggos with food sensitivities. If you feed your canine
friend dry Purina Pro Plan Elemental, please review the following information and call
us if you've observed any weight loss, nausea, drooling, excessive thirst, and/or decreased
appetite.

Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is voluntarily recalling select lots of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.

02/02/2023

Although I hate to boast, I’m pretty sure we can all agree that our Easton Vet family is a pretty darn good looking bunch.

Introducing Tula - her pink muzzle! the perfect set of white whiskers! - who is the new little sister of beautiful and patient Lola. While beef lung is a crowd fav, Lola gently waited her turn for a treat; now that’s true sisterhood 🥰.

As always, we’re ever grateful to have the honor to be a part of so many wonderful families’ lives. 💜

01/13/2023

I’m just gonna leave these photos of this little fellow Axle right here, just to make sure everyone’s Thursday ends on a really good note 🥰

12/31/2022

Our very last patient of 2022: the infinitely silly, devastatingly handsome, and very adept thief of hearts, Big Red. He came to us this evening after a scuffle with some coyotes, and despite receiving dozens of sutures for multiple wounds, this guy woke up with his tail wagging, and smooches at the ready.

Before we wrap up our last day of 2022 in the office, we want to thank our Easton Vet family for being such an integral part of our lives; y’all are the reason we love what we do.

We’re wishing everyone a fun and safe New Years Eve, and we’re looking forward to sharing another year with our EV fam💕.
