It’s been a few days but it’s still the same:

Attention AT&T carriers, your phone calls are not coming through on our lines. We are still here and if you need to message or email us that is fine.

For whatever reason, it seems like this is an area wide problem caused by Beryl. We have no estimated time as to when this problem will be resolved, so please bare with us!

AT&T is back at it again. Attention AT&T carriers, your phone calls are not coming through on our lines. We are still here and if you need to message or email us that is fine. I'm not sure why it's only AT&T calls, but Verizon calls come through fine. We have no control over this at the AT&T towers around here have very poor service at times. Just giving people a heads up if you're having trouble getting through, you have to call from a non-AT&T service phone.

The 4th is just right around the corner! Make sure your pets are prepared for a safe 4th!

***Special hours this week***
It's time for the annual Farm Bureau Convention so we will be closed Thursday, June 27th - Sunday, June 30th as our doctor will be out of town. As always, we will have our voicemail set up so please leave a message if you are in need of something while we are closed. Our techs will be checking the voicemail as needed.

We will also have the numbers for the two available ER clinics for daytime and nighttime emergencies. Valor Emergency Hospital (318-795-5990) is available 24/7 and the Animal Emergency Clinic (318-227-2345) is available after hours and on the weekend.

Thank you for understanding and allowing us to serve you. This time is always a much needed break for our doctor, and she looks forward to being back in the office next week to help you and your pets! ❤️

06/24/2024

If you have AT&T, these calls are not coming through, but Verizon users are having no trouble. Our phones are not down, apparently AT&T has something going on. We have been extremely busy this morning and doing our best to call people back that have messaged us so please be patient with us. Thank you.

🌞 June 20th marks the first day of summer! 🌞

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you enjoy the summer this year to keep your pet safe!

📣FOSTER NEEDED📣

This handsome boy is Baxter and he's currently looking for a temporary foster home. His parents are currently unhoused but are working with The Philadelphia Center to find housing. In the meantime, Baxter is needing a place to stay. He's about to be 7, is neutered, very sweet, good with other dogs, kids and kittens. He hasn't been around adult cats before. If you're able to help temporarily foster him, please contact Lacy at 318-222-6633 extension 2029

06/14/2024

June is National Pet Preparedness Month and with two potential tropical developments currently in the Gulf and the Atlantic, it never hurts to be weather-prepared! Make sure that your animals are included in your preparations.

06/05/2024

This morning we do not have electricity, we may be on and off all day as they are working on lines. We are calling appointments and rescheduling what we need to. We will keep everyone updated as we go! Thank you for understanding.

05/31/2024

We hope everyone faired the storms ok last night. Our power is currently down at the clinic so unfortunately we will not be fully open unless it is restored. Estimated time isn't until later this evening. We will be working on calling all scheduled appointments and rescheduling. If you have an emergency today and need to be seen, please contact Valor Emergency Hospital in Bossier City. All boarding patients are doing fine and still being cared for during this time.

05/27/2024

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

Our clinic will be continued to be closed for today and we'll reopen and see you tomorrow at our normal business hours from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm! If you're needing emergency services, please reach out to the AEC in Shreveport at 318-227-2345 or Valor ER in Bossier at 318-725-5990.

Happy National Pet Week! While we celebrate our pets every day, this week is focused on recognizing the human-animal bond, encouraging responsible pet ownership, and raising awareness of veterinary medicine.

Just like it's recommended for us to see our human doctors regularly, it's also equally important to make sure your pets are up to date on their annuals to help better ensure they live a long and healthy life. Call us today at 318-858-3328 for your next appointment!

Goodmorning and Happy Wednesday everyone! Our internet has been on and off all morning so our phones have been going in and out again. We are hoping At&t is working the issue out because the internet was working great all night and we were back up and running normally this morning for an hour or so! We have a few Hotspots running to keep computers up so feel free to email if you catch that busy tone! Thanks everyone and have a wonderful day! **We have phones forwarded to a cell phone again so you should be able to get through if you call our main line!**

04/23/2024

Our phones are being directed to a cell phone so you can call the main number and reach us. This limits the amount of calls we can receive at once so if you catch the voicemail, please leave a message or try calling back shortly after. We will be doing our best to keep up despite the situation.

*** Update: apparently At&t is having an internet service outage at the moment and we were told 24 hours to 5 days til it is resolved. Without internet, our phones will remain down. We are currently on the phone with our telephone company to see about forwarding the phones to a cell phone so we can still be easily reached with our original phone number. If this cannot be done, we will be posting a number to call instead of our normal phone number so please stay tuned as we manage this. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. You can still email us at [email protected] if you need to get in touch.

Our phones and internet are down right now. So please feel free to come by the office if you need anything. You can email [email protected] if you also need to contact us as one of our tablets is still working. Thank you for understanding as we figure this out!

04/10/2024

☎️Update: as of 2pm, our phones are back up and working!!! ☎️

Our phone lines are down, but we are here and have electricity! In the meantime while we work on our phone issue, you can email us at [email protected] or message us here on our page. If you need to reschedule an appointment, it's no problem at all, we understand some people are flooded or don't want to drive in this weather. We will keep yall updated on here! Thank you!

FOUND CAT

A good samaritan came by the clinic with this beautiful cat this morning. The cat isn't chipped but is declawed. She was found in the Grand Cane village area. Because she's been declawed, it's pertinent that she's reunited with her owner. If this cat looks familiar, please call our office at 318-858-3328

02/14/2024

FOUND DOG

We feel like we sound like a broken record! We had another client come in today with a dog that they found. This one was found at the Dollar General in Stonewall on Sunday, February 11th. She's a female, had no collar, and isn't chipped. If this dog looks familiar, please call our office at 318-858-3328.

02/13/2024

FOUND DOG

A client of ours brought in this handsome boy today. He showed up at their house a few days ago around the Four Forks Keithville area. He's not microchipped and didn't have a collar when he showed up at their house. If he looks familiar, please call our office at 318-858-3328.
