Dear Valued Client:

As many of you are aware, the veterinary field is currently experiencing a significant shortage of professionals, which has made recruitment increasingly challenging. Unfortunately, Petcare Animal Hospital has been deeply affected by this issue. After thorough deliberation, Petcare Veterinary Hospital will be merging with Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital effective Tuesday, October 1.

We understand that this announcement may come as a surprise and a disappointment, and we want to emphasize that this decision was not made lightly. We remain committed to supporting you and your pets through this transition and appreciate your understanding during this time.

If you have an appointment scheduled at Petcare Animal Hospital, our team will reach out to you to transition that appointment to Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital.

At Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital your pet will receive the same high quality medical and surgical care that you have come to expect. Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital currently has six doctors on staff and is open Monday-Thursday from 8 am-7 pm, Friday from 8 am – 6 pm and from 8 am- noon on Saturday. Fitchburg has multiple fear-free professionals to ensure your pet has a stress-free veterinary experience. Fitchburg is an updated and modern veterinary hospital with a large parking lot. At this location, you will also have on-site access to Waggin’ Tails, Fitchburg’s safe, comfortable boarding facility, including large canine, feline-only and exotic boarding areas.

Your pet’s medical records will automatically be transferred to Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital on October 1st. If you would like your pet’s records, please email Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital at [email protected].

We are grateful for the trust and loyalty you have demonstrated over the years. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We recognize that your pets hold a special place in your family, and you depend on our services to ensure their well-being and happiness.

We are eager to continue providing compassionate, quality care to our loyal clients and their beloved pets. We look forward to welcoming you to Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital and encourage you to reach out with any questions.

As late summer approaches, we want to ensure the well-being of your beloved pets! Here are some essential tips to keep them safe during the (still) hot weather:

1. Regular Vet Check-ups: Stay up-to-date with flea/tick/heartworm prevention and vaccines by scheduling annual visits or as recommended based on your pet's age and health.

2. Beat the Heat: Provide plenty of clean water and a shady spot for your pets when spending time outdoors. Avoid extended periods outside during hot, humid weather as it hinders their ability to cool down effectively.

3. Recognize Signs of Overheating: Watch out for excessive panting, increased heart rate, drooling, weakness, and disorientation. Breeds like Pugs, Bulldogs, or Persian cats, along with elderly or overweight pets, are at higher risk. Walk them during cooler times of the day and keep them indoors as much as possible in AC environments.

4. Never Leave Pets in Parked Vehicles: Avoid leaving your pets unattended in parked vehicles, even for a short time. It can quickly lead to fatal heatstroke and is also illegal in many states.

5. Mind the Asphalt: Hot pavement can burn your pet's paws. If it's too hot for you to touch comfortably, it's too hot for them too! Choose grassy or shaded areas for walks.

6. Summer Haircuts: Consider a summer haircut to keep your pet cool, but avoid shaving them completely as their fur protects them from sunburn.

7. Secure Windows and Balconies: Prevent accidents by keeping windows without screens closed and ensuring that existing screens are secure

As VA WEEK comes to a close, we have one more special assistant - Trina, one of our UW Veterinary students. You may be suprised to learn she has a fierce hobby of photography. It started with taking photos of sports teams in high school, and now she’s stuck on photographing wildlife!! What can’t this gal do?! Thank you for being a part of our team, Trina!!

VA apprieciation week has been a blast so far!! Abigail is one of our VA’s who is currently enrolled in tech school. She brings fresh ideas and perspective, and always comes to work with a “can do” attitude. A little known fact about Abigail? She LOVES the movie “Cry Baby” and even has a Cry Baby tattoo. She says she can recite every line near perfectly of the film. Thanks for all your hard work here Abigail!!

VA Apprieciation Week is underway and we are loving it!! Brittany is a face you’ll see often at the clinic, as this is her full time role. A little known fact about Brittany?? She is a collector of many things, most notably her 300-plus doll collection!! We would’ve never guessed!!

VA apprieciation week is off to a great start!! Kayla, one of our newest VA’s and pre-vet student at UW Platteville, has been a sweet addition to the team. She may be a bit shy, but this woman’s got some power behind her - she has her black belt in karate!!! Hiii-yaahhhh!!

Please join us in welcoming Kayla to the crew! She is a sophomore animal science student at UW Platteville. She has always dreamed of working with animals since she worked in animal shelters and shadowed the veterinarians. Kayla loves to play the piano, hang with her pets, knit and go boating!

We are excited to introduce Trina to you, our new Vet Assistant! Trina is a veterinary student at UW Madison. When she has a free moment (when she's not studying), she loves hanging out with her pets, exploring coffee shops, and traveling. She rescued her dog Fergus two years ago and, since then, taken in two cats under two from an overcrowded barn. She loves to head up to her family’s cabin and spend time boating or splashing in the water. She says she is excited to join the team and practice the skills and knowledge she gains in the classroom while giving your pets the best possible care.

We have some new faces around the clinic! You've stopped or called in lately, you may have seen or heard the voice of Lorece, our talented CSR. She loves animals and the human connection alike and looks forward to chatting with you! (Ask her about her horse, or Medieval jousting she partakes in when you see her!)

June is a great month do adopt a feline companion! If you can't adopt, we encourage to call a shelter and ask them what they could use as donation on their wish list.
