We'll be closed tomorrow, February 7 as we team up with our amazing friends at Banfield Pet Hospital to perform a high volume of Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return surgeries. We’re working hard to sterilize and vaccinate an estimated 135 community cats! 🐱

We’ll be back to our regular hours on Monday and look forward to seeing you all then! ❤️

Because adopters who live in our service area can become clients of our low-cost, full-service hospital, we get to keep up with many pets who found their homes next door at our humane center. That's the case with Benny, who was adopted last March and recently needed a dental procedure. It was an extensive surgery, and as he recovered from anesthesia, Jane, a veterinary assistant in our hospital, held, comforted and kept a watchful eye on Benny to ensure that he woke up feeling safe and loved. 💙

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our veterinary hospital will be closed today.

This day serves as a reminder to honor Dr. King's legacy of compassion and service to others. We are committed to serving both our community and its pets with care, kindness and respect, just as Dr. King dedicated his life to serving others with love and dignity.

We encourage you to take a moment today to reflect on how we can all work together to make a positive impact on the lives of those around us. While we're closed today, we'll be back to our regular hours tomorrow, ready to continue providing the best care for your pets. 🐾💙

After several days of citywide water disruptions, we're happy to be back and operating during our regular business hours. However, while our team is working diligently to process all pharmacy requests, please note that we are currently experiencing some delays. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get things back on track. We look forward to seeing all of our pawfect patients! 🐾

Due to the city's water disruption, we are closed today and have contacted all clients who had appointments. Please check our website for updates as we adapt operations to these unforeseen circumstances. We will make decisions about our ability to see patients tomorrow as we get information about water service restoration.

We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to care for your pets!
