On the 12th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... 12 months of prevention!

We recommend keeping your pet(s) on parasite prevention year-round to protect against things like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other types of worms.

As long as your pet is up-to-date on their necessary wellness items, we can dispense parasite prevention or approve it through sites like Chewy!

🎄🚫 On the 10th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... a list of 10 common household toxins for my furry family! 🚫🎄

Please note: "Veterinary Products", like certain medications, can be toxic if not given as prescribed. Other things may be harmful if not used appropriately. We do not send home or use products that we know will be harmful to pets.

🎄🐾 On the 9th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... heartworm tests for 9-month-old puppies 🐾 🎄

We recommend having puppies first tested for heartworm at nine months of age! It's better to prevent heartworms than to treat them.

While we do not regularly test cats for heartworm, we recommend giving both cats and dogs heartworm prevention year-round!

🎄😸On the 8th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... 8-week-old kittens! 😸🎄

At 8 weeks old, puppies and kittens are ready for their first veterinary visit!

At their first visit, puppies and kittens typically receive their first round of vaccines and dewormer. Do you know what else they get at their first appointment? A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE 💕 (and a complementary puppy/kitten nail trim).

On the seventh day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me...🌟 7 ACAs 🌟

The Animal Care Assistants are the wonderful people who go over intake questions during appointments, handle pets for procedures, fill medications, and much more!

Thank you to the ACAs for all of your hard work. You are appreciated! 😸

🎄 On the 6th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... 6 Exam Rooms! 🐾

Whether it's a routine check-up, a health concern, or a follow-up visit, our team is here to provide the best possible care for your pets.

Do you know what the differences are between an appointment with one of our doctors and an appointment with a veterinary technician?

Appointments with a Veterinarian serve the following purposes:

🔍Comprehensive Exams: Vets conduct thorough physical exams, including listening to the heart and lungs, checking for lumps or abnormalities, and assessing overall health.

🔬💬Diagnosis and Treatment: Veterinarians diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries, and conditions. They can prescribe medication, recommend treatments, and perform surgeries.

🗣Health Consultations: They provide health consultations, that target specific problems.

Typical appointments include: annual or semi-annual wellness exams, illness exams, urgent care appointments, and rechecks.

Appointments with a Veterinary Technician are for the following:

⏰Routine Care: Veterinary technicians handle routine care procedures, such as administering vaccines, drawing blood, and performing lab tests.

👐Basic Procedures: They can perform basic procedures like nail trimming, ear cleaning, a**l gland expression, and more.

👩‍🏫Pet Parent Education: They provide pet owners with demonstrations on how to administer medications or do basic procedures at home.

Typical appointments include: basic grooming and hygiene services, routine vaccinations, blood draws from lab work, follow-up care, and more.

Generally, Veterinarians provide more complex and specialized care, while technicians handle routine and basic procedures. Only veterinarians can officially diagnose illnesses and prescribe treatments. Doctors have a broader scope of practice, including performing surgeries and specialized tests, whereas technicians support these processes and provide general care.

Understanding the differences between these appointments can help pet parents know what to expect and ensure their pets receive the appropriate level of care. 😄

On the fourth day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... 4 CSRs!

CSR stands for Client Service Representative. They are often the first faces you see when you come into the hospital. They are responsible for assisting clients with setting up appointments, communicating with the doctors, getting medication refills, and more!

On the second day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... two testicles!

Did you know that spaying and neutering your pets can help reduce the risk of medical issues?

We, generally, recommend neutering your pet around the age of 6 months. But, it depends on the pet. Ask your veterinarian for more details!

We had the pleasure of meeting Apollo yesterday! 🥰

Today is K9 Veterans Day, a day dedicated to honoring the brave and loyal service dogs who have served alongside military forces. These K9 veterans have played a crucial role in various missions, from detecting explosives to providing support and companionship to our troops. Their dedication, courage, and sacrifice deserve our respect and gratitude. Let us take a moment to acknowledge and thank these four-legged heroes for their service and commitment.
