You may feel inclined to share some of your holiday plate, but it can lead to some serious GI issues!

Between now and January two of the most common cases to walk through our doors will be pets experiencing pancreatitis and pets who have ingested ham bones and turkey bones that broke into pieces and have become stuck in their digestive tract. Please be cautious of what you allow your pet to eat on Thanksgiving. When in doubt, just don’t do it. Check out some of our other posts for detailed safety tips!

‼️ IMPORTANT CLOSURE NOTICE ‼️

LUV will be CLOSED tomorrow, Thursday 11/28 so our staff may have a much deserved day off to celebrate Thanksgiving. We will resume normal business hours from 3-10pm on Friday, 11/29.

We are open this evening during our normal business hours. Please call us in advance to get an accurate wait time estimate.

‘Tis the season of giving thanks! 🍁🦃

At LUV, we are thankful for all of the snuggles we get to give to our sweet patients 💞🐾 we are also thankful to be able to help so many animals in times of need.

What are you thankful for?

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we wanted to send out a few holiday safety reminders. 🦃

❗️ Avoid sharing your Thanksgiving dinner with your furry family member. A lot of our human foods contain extra ingredients and fat that may be harmful or potentially toxic to our pets. It’s better to just stick with their normal diet to not encourage GI upset!

❗️ Take out the trash! Don’t forget your tasty turkey leftovers and bones in the trash can. It will smell mighty tempting to your pets, and can cause a whole plethora of issues if ingested.

❗️ Give your pet a safe place. If you are having guests over or your pet is particularly anxious, consider giving them a quiet area away from the commotion. If at any point your male feline friend is showing that he is having issues urinating, he should be seen IMMEDIATELY.

LUV will be closed on Thursday, 11/28 so our staff may take a well deserved day off and celebrate the holiday with the loved ones. We will resume normal hours on Friday, 11/29 from 3-10pm. 🐾♥️

Halloween is almost here! 🎃👻 with many festivities happening this weekend, we wanted to send out a gentle reminder for pet safety.

🕸️ Keep an eye on your treat bowl! Make sure candy and chocolate is out of reach of all of your critters. 🍫 If Max or Luna happen to sneak some chocolate, be sure to call ASPCA Pet Poison Control and be prepared to bring them to a veterinary clinic to induce vomiting if necessary.

🕸️ Limit your pets costume time - not all animals enjoy wearing clothing. 🎭 Be sure to snap a few cute photos and don’t forget to take the costume off!

🕸️ If you are going to have trick-or-treaters or party guests all evening, be sure to have your animals in a place where they can’t sneak out at night! If they get anxious with knocking and doorbells, consider a calming medication, distraction snacks and music. 🐕

🕸️ Your costume and mask might look pretty scary to a pet! Don’t approach or get in the face of any animal while dressed up, you’re too scary! 😱

We are here everyday for your pets urgent, non emergent needs. ♥️

🐾 Need to induce vomiting? Call us!
🐾 Have a dog bite wound? Call us!
🐾 GI upset from the holiday snacks? Call us!

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! Veterinary Technicians are an essential lifeline to our day-to-day operations and care. They are one of the first faces your pet will see, and they will be the ones spending the most time caring and loving on your furry family member ♥️

This week we give an extra thanks to all of our amazing technicians for the hard work they do every day. They have an incredibly demanding but rewarding job, and an insane amount of passion for what they do. Give your vet tech some love this week! 🐾♥️

That Friday feeling 🎉🤩

Speaking of Fridays, we know accidents and injury don’t always happen at convenient times, and finding after hours care for your pet can be challenging. That’s where LUV comes into the picture 🐾

We are here for you and your furry family members every single day, including over the weekend. We truly believe that no animal should have to wait days to be seen in an urgent situation. LUV is the bridge between routine checkups and emergency situations, we are here to provide care for situations that cannot wait, but are non life threatening.

🐾 MEET OUR TEAM 🐾
This week we are introducing one of our phenomenal relief LVTs, Claire!

Claire joined the LUV team when it opened in March of 2023. She grew up in Maryland and moved to Virginia in 2018. She graduated in 2017 from Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in veterinary medicine. She has been a licensed veterinary technician in Virginia since 2021 and has experience with both large and small animals. You are likely to see her at LUV on the weekends and working the rescue TNR clinics, as she more recently transitioned to a primary care day clinic. In her spare time, she enjoys horseback riding, archery, reading, and exploring local wineries and breweries. She currently lives in Ashburn with her boyfriend Roy, her dog, Lily, and her cat, Zara.
