You know how much we love to brag about our patients.😁 Well, you'll want to sit down for this one.😮

Our patient Mordy is the hero of children's book written by his mom, Evita Giron. The book is called, "It's Hanukkah, Mordy". We've read the book and it's wonderful. We get to enjoy all the wonders and magic of Hanukkah through Mordy's eyes. If you look closely at all the drawings in the book, you'll see that Mordy has a black heart on his nose just like he does in real life.🖤 There is even a glossary in the back of the book for words and terms that might not be familiar to people who don't celebrate Hanukkah.

We love that this book is dedicated to, "a fun loving, adventurous and fluffy tuxedo cat named Mordy who we love and adore".

Mordy's mom is having an author event this Friday, December 20th at 10:30 AM at the Hamilton Township Public Library (swipe to see details).

If you want to learn more about Mordy and his mom, you can visit her Instagram account . If you are interested in buying a copy of Mordy's book, go to: https://authorevitagiron.square.site/books or go to Amazon where it is currently #1 in Children's Jewish Books!

We couldn't be more excited for darling Mordy and his mom. Please join us in congratulating them both and then enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!😊

Isn't this a perfect holiday pet photo?!🎄📸🦌

That cute 4-year old Mini Goldendoodle on the left is our patient Mochi. That cute pup on the right is his BFF Teddy!🥰

Mochi's mom sent us the is photo yesterday. Her sister, and Teddy's mom, is the photographer.

Here's the message we got along with the photo, ""Teddy and Mochi love playing fetch, but Mochi has come to realize he is never going to be as fast as Teddy so he let's Teddy get the ball then Mochi pulls down on Teddy's ear making him drop the ball and then he delivers it to whomever is throwing :)) Brains over brawn.

They are truly best buddies. My sister mentions Mochi coming over and he will wait by the front door ALL day for him :))"

So please enjoy this exceptional holiday photo of Mochi and Teddy and let it inspire you for Friday's big event. As you might recall, we want to see lots of holiday pet photos on Friday. Don't let Mochi and Teddy intimidate you. Often, photoshoot "fails" are just as fun as beautiful results.

Either way, enjoy Mochi and Teddy and then have a great rest of your Tuesday!😊

Happy National Chocolate Covered Anything Day!🍫

Oops. Chocolate is bad for both dogs and cats so skip that (unless you're human and then go for it!😁)

Let's celebrate National Ugly Sweater Day instead! Yes, there really is a day for celebrating ugly sweaters and Alex is living proof. Here he is wearing an ugly sweater Gina M. got for him and Finnley last year.

So we have two ways to make your Monday better than usual. Either eat chocolate (only if you are a person and not a pet) or enjoy Alex in his ugly sweater. We'd love to see YOUR pet in an ugly sweater, or even a very fashionable sweater or jacket (Jaxxon, we're thinking of you in your new coat).

And now, enjoy the rest of your Monday!😊

Remember to take festive holiday pet photos to share with us next Friday, December 20th!📸

Happy Friday the 13th!😱

Instead of a prank or bad luck, you get the opposite!👍 Here's beautiful, sweet Alice.🥰 We included her in our December birthday post (she turns 1 on the 23rd) but all we had was a puppy photo so we asked her mom for a current one. And look what we got. Don't those dark brown eyes just melt your heart?!❤

When we notified her mom that Alice was included in the December birthday post, we got the following reply, "Alice is such a feisty funny thing. She definitely feels special every day... she actually caught a bird yesterday (no idea how!) but luckily she spit it out unharmed after I realized what she had done! She's a little hunter, just like Sasha and Cromwell both were (both had several squirrel catches, thankfully with releases!). Glad she's continuing our 'feisty Cavalier' tradition!

Here's what she looks like now. Still way too cute for her own good!" That face looks way too innocent to be continuing the "feisty Cavalier" tradition but we trust Alice's mom to know her best.😁

So please say hi to Alice and maybe even wish her an early birthday!🎉 We also want to thank her mom for allowing us to share this photo. Please feel free to send us photos of YOUR pets to share. We think we have the best pet community around and we love sharing our furry friends with others.

And now, enjoy the rest of your Friday!😊

We have such a treat for you today.🥳 Nothing like two beautiful Corgis in front of a lighted tree to get you in the holiday mood. This heartwarming moment is brought to you by Orfhlaith Rhiannon (Ronny, upper left) and her older sister Aoife, pronounced "Ay-fa" (lower right). We couldn't decide which photo we liked best so we included them all.

Aoife is 4 years old and Ronny is 2. It won't surprise you to learn that Aoife and Orfhlaith Rhiannon are the only two pets with these names in our practice!!😄 Here's what their mom says about her two "gangsters":

"They are true working dogs. They get offended when people call them small dogs. They think of themselves as proper German shepherds on, well, very short legs. They love to hunt mice and chipmunks, and all squirrels absolutely need to be barked off those trees. Deer need to be herded, of course. Foxes need to be scared away. The only "lapdog" quality these two possess is that they happily sleep to operas when at home !"

In addition to showing off our gorgeous patients, we want to take this moment to remind you all that we hope to see lots and lots of festive pet photos next Friday, December 20th. Perhaps Aoife and Ronny can provide some inspiration.🐶🎄🐶

Please say hi to our pretty Corgi friends and then have a wonderful Thursday!😊

Today is your lucky day! You get to meet Oreo!🎉

Oreo is a little Spaniel Mix and she's 11 months old. We learned that Oreo has had two previous families in her short life. She is fearful and anxious so her previous families didn't want her. Turns out, she ended up with the family she was meant to be with. That's her big sister Brianna who came to the vet with Oreo.💕

Oreo is the perfect spokesdog for "Happy Visits"! After being examined by Dr. Prior, with the help of technician Gina M., it was determined that Happy Visits would be a great idea for Oreo. In fact they came up with a plan specifically for Oreo that includes walking Oreo around the hospital for about 10 - 15 minutes and introducing her to lots of employees. She'll get lots of attention, treats and cuddles if she wants them. Everyone will tell her what a good girl she is and it will be a happy, fun, confidence-building visit for her.

We HIGHLY recommend Happy Visits for dogs who are a little shy about going to the vet and meeting new people. These visits are free but if possible, we ask that you try to schedule them ahead of time so we have people ready to shower love and attention on your dog.

So please welcome Oreo (and her sister Brianna) to our Princeton family and then have a wonderful Wednesday!😊

We take our responsibility to be a happy destination very seriously. So as promised, a happy, happy story for your Monday morning. That handsome dog next to technician Savannah is Koda. You've met him before but we haven't talked about him a whole lot because his story started out so happily and then took a scary turn. It's all good now so we'll tell the story.

Koda is a German Shepherd Mix and is 8 years old. He was adopted last fall to be a friend to the family dog Renny (you can just barely see her cute black ears in the photo). Renny is very good with other dogs but is anxious around people so her family adopted Koda to be her companion. It was love at first sight. Koda and Renny instantly became BFFs. But the very first time Koda came to see us, a large tumor was detected on x-ray. We wanted to tell you all about Koda but we didn't want to mention the splenectomy surgery and his cancer diagnosis.

Well, sometimes miracles happen. According to Koda's mom, "Koda is officially considered in remission and is part of the 5% of dogs who make it this far with this cancer. He has IBD but it’s well managed right now and he’s a very happy boy."

Like all the rest of us, Koda's long term prognosis is unknown, but for now, he's happy and is living his best life with Renny, their parents and their 4 kitty siblings. Luckily, you can see more of them on their IG account . Their mom takes excellent photos so it's an account you want to visit.

So please congratulate Koda on beating his cancer and Renny on finding such a great BFF. And then enjoy the rest of your Monday!😊

Happy Friday!🎉

We are in the thick of holiday season which means many of you may be traveling soon. If you have pets, we have tips!😄💡😄

If you are flying, make sure you know your airlines pet policies WELL in advance. They will most likely require a health certificate which means your pet will need a wellness exam beforehand so book that appointment now:
☎️ (609) 520-2000.

If you are flying, make sure you know the airlines specifications for carries and make sure your pet is well acclimated to that carrier. Also, get your pet comfortable wearing a harness. We highly recommend your pet is wearing a harness inside of their carrier - especially if your pet is a skittish cat.

On the day of travel, exercise your pet well before your trip and give them plenty of bathroom breaks. Pack comfort items for your pet and above all, be flexible. Pets are very good at picking up our stress so try to be as calm as possible. Spraying bedding with Feliway for cats and Adaptil for dogs might also be helpful.

You can read more travel tips here: https://bit.ly/4hefNal (Instagram, copy and paste the URL).

A much simpler solution might be to board your pet. We offer boarding for our feline patients and for canine patients with medical issues.

On an entirely separate matter, two weeks from today is the Friday before Christmas and we are inviting you all to start thinking about seasonal photos you can share with us on that day. We've started to see some of your pets sitting next to a Christmas tree, with a dusting of snow on their nose, sitting next to an exciting advent calendar... Please, please, nothing thrills us more than seeing photos all of our furry friends so start taking photos! Friday, December 20th will be our virtual holiday pet parade.

And now, enjoy the rest of your first December Friday!😊

That happy technician is Catherine and yes, she's happy because she got to be the tech in Millie's first puppy appointment! Millie is nearly 5 months old and is a Havanese puppy. We heard, before her appointment, that she might be a little nervous at the vet but as you can see, she did a great job. She might be a great candidate for future "Happy Visits" - scheduled visits where the puppy/dog gets treats, snuggles, cuddles and tons of love with no exams or sharp needles.😄

Here's what Millie's mom told us about her darling puppy, "Whenever she gets her favorite treat she takes it into her house to eat in private. That how we know if she really likes something.

She's also an alarm clock. We're not allowed to sleep past 6:00am."

Please join us in welcoming Millie to our Princeton pack and thank Catherine for sharing her photo with us! And then enjoy the rest of your Thursday!😊

BTW, we LOVE seeing your pets!! Whether we ask for photos or not, they always make our day. We want to thank those of you who share your pet photos with us and encourage the rest of you to do so!💕📸💕

Yesterday we introduced you to Fiona and mentioned that she was a little anxious. Right after her family adopted Fiona, they adopted an emotional support puppy for her and that puppy was Indy!💗

That all happened 5 years ago and Indy and Fiona are best buds - as you can see from these photos their mom shared with us. Indy is a female Mini Goldendoodle. We snooped through the notes from her most recent vet visit and read, "very sweet; good for exam and injection; minimal restraint needed". We should also mention that she has a perfect Body Condition Score (BCS) of 5 out of 9!🎉

Now for the good stuff. Here's what Indy's mom said about her little pup:

"- She is my shadow, following me around the house and often making an appearance on my video calls for work.
- She took a tricks training class during Covid and can do an army crawl on her belly to get treats
- She loves snuggling as close to me as she can get to share popcorn and watch tv." Adopting this little support dog for Fiona was a brilliant idea and clearly increased the love and happiness for everyone in the family.

So please say hi to Indy, the army-crawling, popcorn-sharing pup who is also her mom's shadow. And then have a wonderful Tuesday!😊

BTW, you may have noticed some happy tongues hanging out in these photos. We'd love to see photos of YOUR pet's on this !

On this first Monday of a new month, we have a beautiful Golden girl for you. Meet Fiona!🐾🎉💕 We have a feeling December is going to be a great month and we're doing our part by starting it off with a dog like Fiona.❤

Fiona is 8 years and 7 months old and we've known her since she was about 3 years old. We have notes in Fiona's records that she's a little bit nervous and we need to go slow with this beautiful girl. So we do.🥰

Here's what Fiona's mom told us about her pup, "she greets people with a small toy in her mouth and a sound that is like Star Wars Chewbacca We rescued her and she has severe anxiety. Through the great support of behavioral health professionals, medication and lots of love she has made so much progress. Indy is her emotional support dog and they go everywhere together." Don't you love when pets have pets!
You'll meet Indy tomorrow!!😄

So please say hi to this Chewbacca-sounding pup and then enjoy the rest of your Monday!😊

Good Monday Morning! Today we are featuring lick mats and Rory Bogey and Gunner are showing us how they work. If your pet vomits frequently, call us for an appointment to rule out a medical cause: (609) 530-2000. If your pet eats too quickly, try a slow feeder for dry kibble or a lick mat for wet food.
