Don't you just LOVE when you can see the difference in your pet after dental surgery? Thanks for the update, Jamie!

Hi everyone! Well, it's been 12 days since Red has his dental surgery, and I must tell you that everyone who contributed to his surgery made all the difference for this wonderful boy. He has had a sometimes difficult recovery, but he is now healthy and happy, and enjoying his life 100%. The reason that this picture is a little blurry is because he is so active now, he barely sits still! The difference in this cat is a miracle. Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible, and Dr. Stanley, Melissa, and everyone at Community Care Vet Specialists. 💖

We have some very devoted fans of this page, and we cannot possibly convey how much that means to a new business! We love taking care of all the pets we can!! Today, we are asking for some extra help from our fans. 'Best of 352' is one of the social media promos that help businesses get recognition through online nominations. The purpose is to 'help recognize outstanding establishments and professionals in the Central Florida area.' To our surprise, our business was nominated, and made the cut in the SERVICES category, along with 40 other wonderful veterinarians in area code 352. (YAY!). Other locals businesses were nominated in different categories, such as Satchel's Pizza and Lebowskis Pup Pub . Anyone can vote for all their favorites until St. Patricks Day, March 17th, through this voting link: Vote352.com THANKS SO MUCH!!

“Yay! I’m heading to get my dental procedure with Dr. Stanley today. I’ll let everyone know how it goes. I know I asked for plenty of anesthesia…but truthfully, Melissa always hooks me up.” 🐶 👏👍

We never knew this about the Puppy Bowl! Very cool. 🐶

The “Puppy Bowl” made its debut as counter-programming to the Super Bowl in 2005. Dogs score touchdowns on a gridiron carpet when they cross the goal line — any goal line — with a toy.

Planning your weekend? For a nominal fee, you can experience some cow, pig or goat cuddling. Who knew this was a thing?

Today is a day that we can to honor the great Martin Luther King, Jr.

It seems hard to believe that It's only been 70 years since the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation in public schools as unconstitutional. And, it's been 60 years since MLK Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. While the Nobel lecture he gave in 1964 included the topic of racism, you don't often hear that it also discussed the global effects of poverty and war.

'Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world.'
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Nobel lecture, Dec. 1964)

Meet Finn! He is a 9 year old Cocker Spaniel Mix that was referred to our hospital by Dr. Sammy at Tobias Veterinary Services because of a lipoma (AKA a benign noncancerous tumor). We are happy to report that the lipoma was successfully removed by Dr. Stanley, and Finn is good as gold! Just look at this little man....

This isn’t local news, but still pretty cool! 😊

A shelter dog has officially joined a police department in Kentucky after he was sworn in during a ceremony earlier this month.

Please help us welcome Dr. Stacey Fox-Alvarez, an ACVIM board-certified Veterinary Oncologist (cancer specialist)! She will join our team as we open our new Meadowbrook location in July, and she brings with her a wealth of experience from her previous faculty position at UF.

After graduating from Vet School at UF she completed an emergency and critical care internship followed by a medical oncology internship and residency prior to joining as faculty. In academia, her passions were advancing educational research and mentoring students, interns, and residents. She worked with a team of educational researchers to create a tool for helping educators develop their skills and thankfully, she brings this love for teaching and continued personal growth to our team at CCVS.

Dr. Fox-Alvarez feels passionately about partnering with owners to provide goal-directed care to pets. Cancer can be a scary diagnosis and it is important to Dr. Fox-Alvarez that owners feel informed about their pet’s disease and treatment options so that they can make decisions that are best for the whole family. She believes that quality of life should be accessible for all pets and their owners, even with a cancer diagnosis.

In her spare time, Dr. Fox-Alvarez enjoys spending time with her husband (Dr. Alex Fox-Alvarez, one of our surgeons!) and their dogs, cats, and chickens. Her hobbies include caring for tropical plants, vegetable gardening and being outside in our beautiful Gainesville community.
