A huge thank you to our amazing LVT Sidney and her bestie Paxton.
They were welcomed with opened arms at BOCES: Phoenix Academy, Wednesday for their career day.

About Sid:

She is a licensed vet tech and loves all types of animals! Sid enjoyed educating and answering questions about the 3 legged miracle dog. She is a fabulous person and vet nurse. She is a genuine treasure! She is heading back to school for her Bachelor’s because she is a smart cookie. She is going to move mountains in vet med.
We are lucky to have her!! 🐶🐱🦎

About Paxton Yard:

He was adopted by our very own Sarah.
He had his leg removed back in June, due to a traumatic injury.
Paxi is 6 months old and is growing up with a human brother who is 1, and 2 kitty cat sisters- Pip and Pop.
Paxton has monthly flea/tick prevention, monthly heartworm prevention, still goes on walks with his family and runs every morning in his yard. He loves car rides, and playing in the garden. He is happiest when he spends the day at work with his mama and enjoys pretending to be a NASCAR dog racing around all over- he IS the fastest 3 legger you’ll ever meet!
He knows how to sit, stay, shake, roll over, and lay down.
🐾🐾🐾
Thank you BOCES: Phoenix Academy for hosting this event! Hope we were able to help educate. We need more wonderful people, like Sid, in this field 🖤🩺

Hello friends!!
After tailing this sweet girl for a bit this morning- we got her! 🐾💕
She was jumping in and out of traffic by Kountry Krullers… thank goodness our awesome Katie was on her way to work.
She was brought into CCC and given a capstar for her fleas, and x rayed just to be safe.
She has some yucky ears and not in the best shape but is still very very sweet and did amazing with us for her exam and x rays!

She is with animal control now.
I hope she finds her family or a new wonderful family.
She is fabulous and I know she will make an incredible pet.

A special thank you to the woman on West ave and Broadway who ran out to help us and offer water, gave us boiled chicken and toys!!! You’re a hero!

Thanks to Compassionate Companion Care's sponsorship, we've added another bounce house--a sixty foot obstacle course from Cloud9! This Saturday, bring your family to the Grove Street Boat Launch. We have free face painting by Painted Love, free unlimited rides on the bounce house and obstacle course, free kayaking on the river, and free life jackets for you thanks to Hesselson's! The fun starts at 12pm. Get your lunch from the Los Panchos Taco Truck or Central Sip, then get some cool drinks from Central Sip and Juice Oasis. Kool Treats Ice Cream truck will be there to help keep the heat at bay. Tanglewood and P'Nuts Farm will have some critters for our littlest river friends to visit, and we'll have a big tent and seats set up to keep you out of the sun while you eat. Please share! The more, the merrier!

This is one of the reasons I do not recommend giving you pups body parts from other animals 🤮!! Dr. D. :-)

An FDA investigation into 154 human salmonellosis cases between June 2015 and September 2019 linked seven salmonella serotypes to samples from pig ear treats for pets, and some of the salmonella species were resistant to three or more antimicrobial drug classes. The study, published in The Lancet Pu...

Hello everyone!
We need help finding the family of this little guy.
He was found on Broadway in Southport.
He is unaltered. He has no microchip.
He has some sort of flea collar and a red fabric collar with no tags.
Our doctor is guesstimating he is between 2-3 years old.

Some sort of Yorkie mix(?)

Please send a message or call so we are able to send him on his way.
He is safe and sound with us at CCC!
He is fed and in a nice cool kennel. 🐾🐶

PETS AND HEAT SAFETY!!!!

Highlights:
-PAVEMENT, PAVEMENT, PAVEMENT!
-Hot cars... duh.
-Imagine wearing a coat (dogs don't sweat!) and walking barefoot on the pavement before you walk your dog. How long would you last?? The same concept goes for IN THE HOUSE. Fans don't cut it for hairy pets who do not sweat.

-Check out this full list of state laws concerning animals left unattended in vehicles. The picture below is not true for NYS, although I'd suffer any consequences to save an animal from a hot car. https://www.animallaw.info/topic/table-state-laws-protect-animals-left-parked-vehicles (THESE LAWS ARE A *JOKE* BTW! 😡)

‼️UPCOMING CLOSURES ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️

Hello friends! We hope you and your fur-babies are enjoying this nice weather. :)

We will be closing one Friday each month for a staff mental health break. Our wonderful, hardworking (overworked!) doctor and staff need some well-deserved extra recharge time.

Normally we close at noon on Thursdays; Dr. D does housecalls so is not in the clinic and we do technician appts until noon. The Fridays that we are closed, we will do a normal, full day of in-clinic appts to make up for being closed.

We will be CLOSED this Friday, 5/10 and open 8-4:30 Thursday. I will post future planned closures later this week. 😊

We appreciate your understanding. ❤️

04/19/2024

Hello! Unfortunately Dr. D is out very sick today so we will be closing at noon today. We appreciate your understanding. ❤️

04/05/2024

Hello friends! We will be closed Monday, 4/8, to experience this rare celestial event. 😎🌞🌝🪐🌌🔭

Dr. Delaney will also be out of town. 🚗

Have a great weekend!

Good Morning Everyone!!
We just had a dog run up to our door! Does anyone recognize this beautiful boy? He appears to be a few years old, un-neutered male husky mix with an ez-walk harness on. He is safe here at the clinic with us.
