Please keep your pets on prevention!

Heartworms live inside your pet for 6 months before a test can tell your veterinarian they're there. Keep your dog on heartworm prevention and stop the cycle! https://bit.ly/44xA5E9

As a business owner the last 7 years I have learned that flexibility with change is one of the most important characteristics to develop.

That being said we have some changes unfolding at Trail Ridge over the next few weeks.

Firstly we will be saying goodbye to Dr. Emily Johns at the beginning of March. She has decided to move back to Jacksonville to be closer to her family and friends; we wish her the all the best in her future endeavors.

After much difficult deliberation, we will discontinue after hours emergency services effective immediately. We will continue to see our client emergencies during business hours, and we will be flexible with owners schedules as possible. After hours and on weekends, we now have several emergency veterinary clinics that are open. Those will be listed on our website as well as our page.

To our loyal clients, we truly appreciate you and hope to serve you for many years to come. We thank God for blessing this business to grow and for allowing us to serve our communities. ❤️

Happy new year to our wonderful clients! Praying that 2024 brings lots of blessings and unconditional love (usually from a 4 legged creature 😂)🐾🐴🐐😻🐮

Thank you to everyone who came In today for their patience and understanding as far as wait time goes. We know it got a bit crazy this afternoon full of cats and dogs who needed care!

We always get pretty busy right before big holiday weekends like Christmas, and we try to see everything we can while practicing the best medicine possible. Sometimes, this means normal visits could take slightly longer than usual, and as always we are constantly adding sick and emergency visits throughout the day.

A big final thank you and appreciation post for all your trust in us taking care of your furry family members! Happy holidays!

Last night the TRVS staff enjoyed our 2023 Christmas gathering! We enjoyed good food, quality time with friends, and a fun gift exchange!

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy holiday week!

Spaying and neutering your pets is always a great idea when you don’t plan to use for them for breeding.

It can decrease the risk of mammary tumors, uterine infections like pyometras (surgical emergencies), prostatic abscesses (causing straining to urinate in male dogs), and reduce the amount of unwanted litters where pets end up in shelters.

If you have questions about if your pet should be fixed, please consult your veterinarian.

Check out his happy mask!

Brachycephalic dogs (ie- frenchies, English bulldogs, pugs, Boston terrier, etc) have specific anatomical confirmations of their skull versus our other dogs. Because of this, we require specific types of muzzles for them.

Here is an adorable example of our brachycephalic muzzle, and how adorable is he!! (I don’t think he was too pleased with Dr. Johns 🤣)
