It isn't fair when puppies and kittens get sick or injured. But we love seeing them get better!

While holiday lights make trees sparkle, the right kind of light can also help cat and dog wounds and surgical incisions heal faster and with fewer complications.

We’re excited to offer Phovia light therapy, a non-invasive treatment that complements traditional wound care. Phovia uses photobiomodulation — non-ionizing light in the visible and near-infrared spectrum — to work at the cellular level to:
✨ Stimulate cellular repair
✨ Increase blood flow to damaged tissue
✨ Reduce inflammation and pain
✨ Promote faster healing

What It Treats
❤️‍🩹 Hot spots (acute moist dermatitis)
❤️‍🩹 Bacterial and fungal infections (yeast, Staph)
❤️‍🩹 Bite wounds and traumatic wounds (cuts, lesions)
❤️‍🩹 Surgical incisions
❤️‍🩹 Chronic wounds

The result? Faster recoveries, shorter courses of antibiotics, and smoother recovery— all with a gentle, non-invasive treatment that most pets tolerate very well.

We are so grateful to Katie and other pet parents for taking the time to share your experience and help others feel confident choosing care for their furbabies. Reviews like yours truly mean the world to our team!

With most people reading online reviews before choosing a veterinary hospital—your words help families who haven’t met us yet know their pets will be treated like our own.

At United Vision Pet Partners, we’re especially proud to be independently owned in a world where most specialty hospitals are corporate-owned. Your support helps us continue providing personalized, compassionate care to every patient and family who walks through our doors.

If you've had a visit with us, please take a moment to leave us a Google review and share your experience!

Winter weather brings some dangers:

1. Snow salt can be surprisingly harmful to dogs. It can irritate and burn paws, especially between the toes, and repeated exposure may cause cracking, redness, or blisters. Dogs often lick their paws afterward, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, or salt toxicity.

2. Feline asthma is a chronic airway condition that makes breathing difficult. Common signs include coughing, wheezing, rapid or labored breathing, and exercise intolerance, sometimes mistaken for hairballs. Winter can worsen symptoms because dry indoor air, cold temperatures, and indoor allergens like dust or smoke irritate sensitive airways, triggering flare-ups.

3. Dogs can become at risk for hypothermia or frostbite when temperatures drop below 32°F, with small, senior, or short-haired breeds being especially vulnerable. Below 20°F, outdoor time should be limited to quick potty breaks. To keep dogs safe, provide coats or sweaters, limit exposure, watch for signs like shivering or lifting paws, and dry and warm them immediately after walks.

Stay safe and cozy!

Holiday Decor PSA for Pet Parents!

The holidays bring sparkle, joy… and lots of tempting new “snacks” for our curious furbabies. Here’s your gentle reminder to decorate with pet safety in mind:

🎄 Artificial Christmas trees
The needles and branches may look fun to chew, but they can cause stomach upset or blockages.

🎁 Ornaments & tree hooks
Shiny = irresistible. But broken ornaments and metal hooks can lead to cuts, injuries, or emergency vet visits. Keep breakable décor higher up!

🎀 Ribbons, bows, & package decorations
These can be especially dangerous if swallowed, causing linear foreign bodies that can result in an intestinal perforation and sepsis (systemic infection). Keep gift wrap scraps picked up quickly.

🧸 Toys & presents left around the house
New smells and textures make pets extra curious. Store gifts out of reach until it’s time to open—and monitor new toys for any small pieces that could be swallowed.

A little extra caution keeps the season merry and safe! Stay festive, stay watchful, and give your pets an extra cuddle from us at UVPP! 💚❤️

We are very intentional with the veterinary partners we choose. Grateful for Instinct helping us to provide the best care for our patients.

Please reach out if you are considering Instinct for your veterinary hospital and would like to chat about it.

Specialty veterinary hospital United Vision Pet Partners shares how Instinct EMR improved their daily workflows, patient safety, and teamwork in this case study.

Ever wonder what happens when your cat or dog gets radiographs?
(Chest x-ray pictured)

Our team takes safety seriously — we suit up in PPE (personal protective equipment) including lead aprons, thyroid shields, and protective gloves, as needed, to keep everyone safe from radiation exposure. For a patient, a single set of x-rays is a very small radiation dose; however, for veterinary team members taking radiographs every day, the radiation accumulates.

Due to radiation safety protocols, pet owners cannot be in the room during X-rays, but rest assured — your furbaby will get plenty of reassurance, snuggles, and care from our team!

November was a month for reflection and giving thanks.

As the seasons changed, we had the joy of welcoming an incredible group of furbabies through our doors at United Vision Pet Partners. From ear infections to foreign body ingestions, each visit reminded us why we’re so thankful for this community.

This month was full of wagging tails, brave little fighters, and sweet moments shared between pets and their families. We’re grateful for every visit, every story, and every chance to help your loved ones feel their best.

Swipe through to meet a few of the November stars who brightened our days. We hope they warm yours too!
