Thanksgiving: the day we eat too much, argue over the parade, and marvel at the dog show.

But for us, it’s also a day to be thankful for our amazing team and all the wonderful pet parents who make what we do so rewarding.

Wishing you and your furry family a Happy Thanksgiving full of love, laughs, and maybe just a little turkey(no skin, no gravy 🙂) under the table. 🐶🐈🦃🐾 ♥️

🌈 Thanks to everyone who paused to remember Poncho with us last week. The love that poured out was something to behold—proof, if we needed it, that pets are love incarnate, walking around on four legs. As Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day draws to a close, we’re sending all that love right back to every pet who’s crossed over, taking chunks of our hearts with them. The double rainbow pic here? It’s the one that showed up right after Poncho left us. We’re calling it Poncho’s rainbow, but really, we know it belongs to every four-legged soul who ever loved us back. 🐾💖

🐾 Meet Dash, the brilliant 5-month-old Papillon who's mastered the art of escape games! Until today, harnessing Dash was like a tricky puzzle. But little did he know, wearing a harness is his golden ticket to endless outdoor adventures. 🌍✨

Caught in the act! This snapshot captures the moment right after we finally slipped him into his new harness. Can you see that tail blur? That’s pure joy! 🐶💨

Here's to a future filled with exploration and fun—so long as Dash agrees to keep his harness on! Here’s to new adventures, Dash! 🚀🌳

Tiny’s smiling extra wide today—could it be because he knows it’s 4/20? 🐶🌿 As we celebrate safe, legal use of ma*****na, remember it’s also more accessible to our pets, sometimes even found on the street 😬Symptoms to watch for include increased sensitivity to sound or touch, difficulty walking, excessive drooling, tremors or seizures.

Spring is in the air! 🌸 And with it comes National Puppy Day 2024! 🐶 Did puppies secretly lobby for their own holiday? We may never know...

Here at JVAH, we're lucky to witness puppy antics daily. From unconditional love to food-theft skills that defy physics, these pups are pure entertainment!

We try to capture their funniest moments, but let's be honest – puppies are way faster than our camera skills. To all the pups whose photo ops we missed: it's not you, it's definitely us. We were likely distracted by your cuteness... or forgot to take the lens cap off. 🤦‍♀️

Let's fix that! Share your puppy photos below and turn this post into the cutest digital puppy parade ever! 🐶📸

Special thanks to Jackie, who actually knows how to use a camera! And check out her amazing video montage of our puppy pals🙂

Meet Hannah, the brave German Shepherd puppy! At just 8 weeks old, she came to JVAH seriously ill – vomiting, diarrhea, and very weak. It turned out to be parvovirus, a highly contagious and potentially devastating disease in dogs.
Parvo requires intensive in-hospital treatment and strict isolation protocols. Our team had to wear full protective gear and limit contact. But with their dedicated care, Hannah fought hard and made it through! After a week with us, she went home on Friday feeling like a brand-new puppy.
Hannah's story reminds us that dangerous viruses are still common, even with effective vaccines available. It's easy to become complacent, but March is National Pet Vaccination Month – make sure your furry friend is protected!

So here’s a scene at JVAH: Dr. Casper, doing her best Dr. Pol impression, except it’s a dog, not a cow. And before you ask, no, she’s not getting ready to wear this doggie up to her elbow like some kind of bizarre puppet show. It’s just the angle of the shot, people! She’s actually expertly maneuvering an ultrasound probe to locate a dog’s bladder for a urine collection. Our team is always ready to go the extra mile—or down to the floor if need be—to ensure our patients get the care they need. No obstacle is too big, not even gravity. So hats off to Dr. Casper, who proves that sometimes the best way to care is to do the unexpected. To go the extra mile. To perform the extra stretch. And maybe, just maybe, to wake up the next day feeling like you’ve invented new muscles🙂
