We are OPEN today, Monday January 6. Please call ahead for availability. Staff is small today due to weather. (We're lucky that a few of us live very close and could safely make it in.) Be careful out there!

Severe winter weather advisory! The predicted combination of very low temperatures, heavy snowfall, and ice makes conditions outside very dangerous. All pets need to be brought indoors for the duration. Also, when you let your pets out to go to the bathroom, make sure to let them back in! With all the chaos of a snowstorm (and possible power outage), it can be surprisingly easy to let a pet out and forget that you didn't let them back in, especially if you have multiple pets. Do a headcount to make sure everyone is safe and sound. Stay safe out there everybody!

Please share. Heat advisory! Temperatures have risen rapidly over the past few days and pets haven't had a good chance to acclimate. Please be extremely careful with pets in this weather. Remember, many dogs don't survive heat stroke, even with aggressive treatment. Young, active, healthy dogs die from this every year. Don't assume your dog is safe because it is healthy and not a high-risk breed. No dog is immune. Prevention is key:

1. NEVER leave your pets in your car, even with the window cracked, even in the shade. If your car is equipped to keep the AC on, still check very frequently to make sure it hasn't turned off. (A police dog died when the car stalled and the AC turned off.)
2. Go for shorter walks, and only very early in the morning or later in the evening.
3. Keep your dogs inside in the AC if possible. If not possible, make sure they have DEEP shade (tree shade, not just the shadow of a building) and lots of water. A small baby pool can be helpful if they need to get in the water to cool off. (Obviously use caution with pools if you have small children.)
4. No "forced" exercise. Dogs will keep exercising if they are excited about something (like chasing squirrels) or if they think you want them to, even if they are past the point of exhaustion. Watch for panting, stumbling, head drooping or other signs of tiredness. Even better, avoid any type of activity in heat of the day.
5. Keep cool water with you. If your dog starts overheating, get him out of the sun, pour water on him (make sure it is an area where it can get to the skin), and get him to a veterinarian immediately. If he is conscious, offer him water, but don't force him to drink it.
6. Your dog can severely burn its pads on hot concrete/asphalt. Be careful where you are walking on these hot days. Stay in the grass or shade.
7. If you have a brachiocephalic (short-nosed) dog (pug, bulldog, French bull dog, etc), an older dog, or a dog with medical problems, they are at increased risk, but ALL dogs are at risk.

Have a fun and safe summer, everyone!

No matter how much we wish them to live forever, most of us have lost a beloved pet best friend. For World Pet Memorial Day, we’d love to see a picture of who you’d like to meet someday at the rainbow bridge. ❤️

Extreme weather is continuing. Please bring pets inside!

This is the puppy that was wandering in our parking lot in the rain Friday (December first.) There is a microchip but the chip isn’t registered and animal control hasn’t been able to get any information from the number.

Please share! Poor little puppy found out in the rain in our parking lot this morning! We're on Clays Mill Road across from Jessie Clark Middle School. No collar, microchipped but the chip is not registered. We are not putting up any of the puppy's identifying information at this time. Call or text 859-223-5215 if you've lost a puppy in the area. NOTE: We close at 6:00 but you can still TEXT (not call) after 6:00 if this is your dog. We will be monitoring the texts after hours in case someone is just getting home and realizing what has happened.

Pictures with Dr Santa! Dr. Blair is putting on his red suit in time for Christmas cards! One day only: Saturday December 2, by appointment. Call or text 859-223-5215 now to save your spot; Appointments go fast! (All pets must be nice to people and other pets, and be current on rabies vaccine.) Photos are free, but we do accept donations to our Alex Helping Pets fund, 100% of which goes to treating injured wildlife, stray animals, or animals that couldn't otherwise afford care. Hope to see you there!

Happy Vet Tech Week! We use this week to honor our whole support staff of vet techs, vet assistants, and receptionists. What an amazing crew! We know they always greet you with a smile, but, believe me, their jobs can be both back breaking and heart breaking. They can pick up your 150 pound Great Danes (not by themselves, don’t worry!) but can also gently draw blood from your tiniest kitten. From snakes to ducks to parrots, hamsters, turtles, tarantulas, oppossums…. you name it, they have to learn how to handle it. They never stop studying and learning to keep up with the latest in veterinary medicine. It’s hard to describe what all they may have to do in a day. But most of all, they’ll laugh with you and cry with you and take your pets home in their minds and hearts every night. Please tell them how much you appreciate all their very hard work. ❤️

We are so sorry to post this, but someone has brought us a deceased cat from Clays Mill Road. We don't want to post a picture since it may be upsetting. It is a light grey tabby with white feet and a tipped ear. Please call or text the clinic at 859-223-5215 if you have lost a cat like this. 😥

Save a life by fostering one of these little guys!

08/30/2023

Please help! Everyone got adopted but me and now I’m by myself! Does anyone have room for me? 🥹
Call or text the clinic at 859-223-5215 if you’re interested in having this sweet boy in your life. Update: Well, that was fast! One of our doctors has fallen in love and is taking him home. ❤️

Attention hikers! It’s baby copperhead season. Dr. Blair was taking this picture in the gorge when a person with a dog (circled) was coming from the other direction. The population of copperheads in Kentucky is much higher between late August and the time it starts getting cold. Use extreme caution if you take your dogs hiking in these months. Even though Dr Blair is an avid hiker and hikes otherwise year round with his dogs, he does not take them with him this time of year. Copperhead bites are more dangerous to dogs than to humans, and dogs are also more likely to be bitten. Stay safe out there! (And obviously don’t hurt the snakes!)

In honor of National Dog Day, show us some funny pictures of your pets. This is Tilly, who doesn’t quiiiite look her best when she’s sleeping. 😄

08/24/2023

Did anyone lose this little guy? Found on Memory Lane in Lexington. If he’s yours, call 859-229-3047 (not the clinic.) I’m sure he’s had a hard few days in this weather and would be glad to get home!
