☀️ Heat stroke is a serious condition that can impact both people and pets. It's important to know the signs and symptoms of heat stroke so you can act quickly and get your pet the support they need.
🥵 Common signs of heat stroke include: heavy panting, dry or red gums, excessive drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and wobbly legs.
💧Protect your pet by testing pavement temperature before walks, walking in the cooler parts of the day, providing access to water and shade when outside and never leaving a pet in a parked car.
😻 What do you think of our new hires?.....they're a little frisky and like to walk on everything but they're trying their best 😹
🚨 VCPI needs your new or gently used blankets & towels!
We use towels and blankets alllllll day long to help keep our patients comfortable, warm, and clean!
If you have any new or gently used towels and blankets you can donate, we would appreciate it so much! .... and so would our patients 💜
You can drop them by the clinic anytime during business hours.
Thank you!!
We had the cutest kittens (Tille & Sprite) come in for their first kitten visit and they really loved the ‘cat walk’ 😻

Live music, tacos, games…. Come on down. We’re here until 2!!
🚨 VCPI will be closed today (3/14) due to inclement weather 🚨
We will still be answering phones, emails, texts, and app chats! We will also be taking chat and virtual appointments. (All from the warmth and safety of our homes, yay technology!)
If your pet had surgery scheduled today, we will be calling to reschedule.
❄️Stay safe and warm and we will hopefully see you tomorrow!
A fun building update....
What you see here is the east hallway of exam rooms. Our exam rooms are going to be spacious and beautiful but some of them will even feature an outdoor area.
If your pet has symptoms of an illness that could be infectious to other pets, we typically examine your pet outside. Well, we wanted to elevate that experience and create actual outdoor exam areas that will have an overhang to protect from the elements as well as built in heaters!
We will continue to post updates as we move along so keep an eye out!
Tell us, are you excited for these outdoor exam rooms?!

✨Start your pet's 2024 off fresh with a dental cleaning!
Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health, and their teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year so we can look for early signs of problems and keep their mouth healthy!
If you have an adult Gold wellness package this would be a great time to cash in on the dental cleaning included in your package!
Give us a call and schedule your pet's dental check-up or dental cleaning today!
