🎃🐾 Happy Halloween from Central Veterinary Hospital! 🐾🎃

As we gear up for a Spooktacular night, let’s keep our furry friends safe! Here are some common Halloween treats to keep out of their reach:

🚫 Toxic Foods to Avoid:

Chocolate: Even a small amount can be harmful!
Grapes & Raisins: These can cause kidney issues.
Xylitol: Often found in sugar-free treats, it’s extremely toxic to pets.
Onions & Garlic: These can damage red blood cells.
Candy Wrappers: They can cause intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🐶💖 We’d love to see your pets getting into the Halloween spirit! Share your cutest, funniest, or spookiest pet photos in the comments below! 👇📸

Wishing you all a safe and happy Halloween! 🎉👻

Congratulations to one of our Downtown CRS, Jessi, on her 20th Anniversary with CVH!

🎉✨ Join us in celebrating a truly special milestone—Jessi’s 20th anniversary at Central Veterinary Hospital! For anyone who has visited our Downtown location over the years, you know just how much Jessi means to us. Her welcoming spirit and unwavering dedication have made a lasting impact on our team and our community.

Yesterday, we gathered to honor Jessi and her incredible achievement with cake, laughter, and all the love she deserves—something that is always in abundance at CVH.

We’re so grateful to have Jessi as part of our family. While Central Vet Hospital has seen many changes, one thing remains constant: Jessi is always there, often in her “dungeon” (as she affectionately calls it) in our downstairs surgery area, working her magic.

Here’s to 20 more years of joy, friendship, and exceptional care! ❤️🥳
