How could you ever say no to this face?!? This is Dave. Dave does not know he is a cat. Dave loves attention and is 10/10 escape artist. Door games must be played to enter/exit his exam room 😂 he looks all cute and innocent and never lets his goal out of sight(freedom). Be like Dave. Never give up 💪🏽🐾

Learn something new Thursday!

Parasites are most commonly found in soil. Once they are ingested, they grow and start feeding on the nutrients of the host. They lay eggs and the eggs are shed or passed in the stool of the host. Have we ever requested a stool sample from your puppy, kitten or newly adopted pet? This is why! We take a small sample of stool and add a special liquid that helps the eggs float to the top. We then look under a microscope to see if we find any goodies(or I should say, yuckies!). It is completely normal for puppies and kittens to have parasites as they can be passed from their mother’s milk. For dogs, Heartgard and most heartworm preventives, along with some flea and tick preventives, have a dewormer as well so keeping up to date on prevention is key! Cats who are indoor only do not normally have access to areas of infestation. Indoor/outdoor cats do however since they are exposed to the soil. Some flea and tick medications for cats do contain dewormer as well!

Here are some common parasitic eggs that we see.

This sweet baby came in the door shaking in his mama’s arms. A slow introduction, some sweet talk and lots of peanut butter later…adorable little Cyprus warmed up to us💙🐾 cannot wait to see him again in a couple weeks for his booster shots!

Happy Thanksgiving🧡🦃 here are some safe foods for dogs if you are wanting to share. Remember that very small amounts and moderation is usually okay, but some pets have sensitive bellies! While we season with our hearts around here, the puppers need it plain and unseasoned!! Keep the trash put up out of temptations reach and if needed(hopefully not!🤞🏽), Points East ER in Wilson can be reached at 252-991-6560. Below is also the poison control number as well. Happy Holidays from our paws to yours 🐾

Just a friendly reminder that not all food is safe for you to share with your dog on Thanksgiving.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! 😊 ❤️🦃

Do you know why Lucy is so calm and stress free? Because she is prepared for emergencies 🚨 Here is a great handout/resource for making sure you and your pets have what you may need in case of an emergency. Better to plan ahead and not use, than to be scrambling last minute during a crisis

TactiKitty Penelope and Mr. Luscious Hair Ollie came to us for their health certificate appointment! Your base veterinarian office is a great resource for advice when it comes to PCSing with your pets. You can never start too soon. Some countries can take MONTHS of prep work. Don’t leave these precious faces behind!🐶🐱Linked is the USDA website where all information is gathered from. Click on the country you are headed to and it will break down step by step what is required. And of course we are here for any clarifications you may need. Getting pets their extensive paperwork packet put together so they can see the world with their humans is one of our specialties! 📑

How could you ever say no to this face?! Meet Otis. Official cheese lover and cuddle bug 🥰

Now that we have your attention…Berkeley Gate has been undergoing construction. Occasionally and lately, they have been rerouting to Oak Forest Gate and Slocumb Gate is open as well. We suggest in these next couple weeks to plan a little extra travel time while the gate is being worked on. As we come across closures, we will try to post updates for clinic days. Be sure to check Seymour Johnson AFB page for updates but also plan accordingly as not all closures are listed ahead of time. Thank you for your patience during these upgrades to our base🐾

On Monday August 21st, we will be opening at noon due to staffing issues. Thank you for your patience and understanding 🐾

Pictured below is Ooleg! He is a retired MWD living the good couch life🥰 as you can see, he is a few toes short, you should see the other guy 👀

Hi I’m Guino! I had my first vet visit! I had a great time. I had all the attention and loves. They even gave me cheese. Best cheese I’ve ever had in my entire life!! Only issue was, I was pinched a couple times on my t**h! Ouch!! BUT right after that, they did that funny baby voice and kept saying “Sorry” and gave me more cheese so I guess it wasn’t so bad! 🐾

Miss Lulu is the star of the day 🤩 she is a sweet, spunky little lady who makes wrinkles look super cute!

Cucumbers are a huge hit in Ann’s household(our Animal Health Assistant)😍! They make a great healthy, super low calorie snack for your K9 companions. They are happy to be getting special hooman yummies and you don’t have to feel guilty spoiling them as cucumbers contain about 8 calories per 1/2 cup 😱 always wash your cucumbers very well and cut into small pieces/thin slices before sharing.
