It is with heartfelt sadness that we join the New Hampshire State Police and our community in mourning the loss of K-9 Wyatt. Wyatt was not only an extraordinary member of the New Hampshire State Police Canine Unit but also a hero whose courage and determination brought peace and closure to countless families throughout New England.

We at Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital were deeply honored to have been a part of K-9 Wyatt's care team during his final days. Our thoughts and condolences are with Trooper First Class Kevin Devlin, his family, the entire NH State Police Canine Unit, and all who knew and loved Wyatt.

Rest peacefully, Wyatt. Your legacy of service, loyalty, and bravery will never be forgotten. 🌈🐾💙

Don’t wait for things to get worse, call us anytime! 🏥

Since opening our doors in 2008, we’ve grown, evolved, and adapted, but our commitment to exceptional veterinary care has never wavered. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to shape who we are, deciding what to hold onto and what to improve.

Time for some spring sprucing? 🌼 Remember, our little furry friends have curious noses! Keep household cleaners, essential oils, and air fresheners out of their reach. If an accident occurs, we're always here to help. Reach out to us or a pet poison hotline without delay. Standing by 24/7, because pet safety is priority! 🚨

Seizures are one of the most common neurological emergencies in pets, affecting up to 5% of dogs during their lifetime. While some seizures are caused by epilepsy, others may be due to brain tumors, toxins, or metabolic conditions.

🧠 Our Neurology team specializes in diagnosing and managing seizures with advanced imaging, medications, and long-term care plans. If your pet is having seizures, early intervention is key!

With Spring 🌼 comes not just sunshine and blooms but an unwelcome crowd - fleas, ticks, and heartworms! 🐾 The scratching, fur loss, and inconsistency can go beyond just a little itch. Watch out for these signs. Your pet's health is a top priority! 💯 Our ER doors never close; we're always ready to wage war against these parasites! 🚑

03/08/2025

Don't forget, your pets spring forward too! 🐾 The shift in schedule with Daylight Saving Time can mess with their routines, causing anxiety and behavior changes. Keep an eye out for anything unusual 🕵️‍♂️. Skipping meals, lack of energy, or odd behavior could be a sign of something more serious. Remember, we're on standby round the clock to lend a paw if you need us! 🏥

Gear up for spring, but don't forget about your furry friends! 🐶🐱 Like us, they can be bothered by pollen and mold. Keep an eye out for spring blooms like lilies, tulips, and daffodils - they're beautiful to us but could be harmful to pets. If you notice any unusual behavior, be it allergies or signs of plant ingestion, remember we're here 24/7 for you and your pets. 🏥
