This is a public service announcement to all of our clientele. Dr. Galluch will be taking a much deserved and much needed vacation from 7/25/24 through 8/5/24. During this time, our ability to assist with problems will be limited. As we are a one veterinarian practice and relief vets are in high demand, we only have doctor coverage on Friday 7/26. Our staff will still be in clinic for phone triage and medication refills on our regular business days; however, in the event that your pet needs care for an accident or illness during this time, it is likely that you will need to go to one of the local emergency clinic or to a different general practitioner. We apologize for any inconvenience this may present and appreciate your understanding while Dr. Galluch recharges.

The clinic will be closed this Thursday, July 4th, in observation of Independence Day.

Please be aware of these changes to our schedule for the week if you are coming in to pick up medications. We apologize for any inconvenience. In the event of an emergency over holiday closures, please contact one of the local emergency clinics, such as Orchard Park Veterinary Emergency Clinic at 716-662-6660.

As we are heading full swing into summer, this is just a reminder that this is our busy season here at the clinic. Our phones are ringing, the calendar is filling up, and we do not have many openings available. Please remember that we are a single doctor practice and are doing our best to get to all of our patients in a timely fashion. Plan ahead for your wellness care, as our next available wellness appointments are booking into the beginning of July. If your pet is sick, we may not have any same day openings but will work with you to get your pet in as soon as possible. We appreciate the understanding and patience - and wish everyone a safe and healthy summer season!

Just a friendly public service announcement!

It is black fly season in WNY so if you see these reddish circular spots on your furry friends' abdomens, no need to be alarmed. Black flies usually seek out areas of skin not covered by fur, so bites can be seen often on the abdomen or insides of legs. These lesions typically resolve on their own without need for treatment. If your pet is scratching at them excessively and causing irritation, feel free to contact the clinic for options to fight the itch!
