With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Tornadoes form during intense thunderstorms and can reach wind speeds of 200+ mph. Although tornadoes can occur anywhere, they are prevalent in the Southeast and Midwest. Stay informed by downloading the FEMA app and signing up for weather reports and evacuation notices.

Kitten season is among us!

Unfortunately kitten season isn’t all cuteness and play time. As the weather starts to get warm, intact females are in heat and start to reproduce, and of course start to give birth within a couple months.

Many shelters become overwhelmed with unwanted kittens, so look no further than your local shelter if you’re interested in adopting. Another way to help is by donating or fostering during kitten season.

We're always accepting new clients. Thank you for trusting us with your pet's care.

We'd like to take a moment to wish the amazing Dr. Pagor a very Happy Birthday!💐

Words cannot easily describe our gratitude for what she does for this team, day in and day out. Dr. Pagor is not only a fantastic and understanding doctor, a mentor/educator, supportive friend, creative craft master, trivia champion, and bowling queen (the list keeps on growing), she's a fearless leader. Dr. Pagor loves each of her patients like they were her own, and truly exudes her passion for veterinary medicine. Most of our team has developed under her wings, and we couldn't be more lucky.

Words we'd use to describe Dr. Pagor:
💙💙💙
Ambitious
Selfless
Giving
Gentle
Fun
Resourceful
Inspiring
There's too many!

Share one of your favorite memories of Dr. Pagor with us in the comments, and be sure to say Happy Birthday if you get to see her soon. 😍

Dr. Pagor, may you be spoiled with all your favorite sweet treats and indulge in some relaxation. We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
