Due to the inclement weather, our office will be CLOSED tomorrow Monday, Jan. 6th.

However, WE WILL BE AVAILABLE by phone to reschedule appointments, answer questions, and help triage sick calls. Please call 859-242-8288 if you need anything.

Please stay safe and be aware of your pets needs while outside.
Outdoor pets need insulated shelters away from wind and rain with plenty or fresh-unfrozen water.
Indoor pets should be supervised during outdoor play and bathroom breaks and brought in after short periods. Use common sense guidelines as you would for yourself.

Above all, enjoy this winter wonderland if you can! Snow is a beautiful playground ❄️

Happy National Dog Day!!

The bond between dogs and their people is certainly a special one, no matter the breed, size or age! So today (and all days) we celebrate them and love them as they love us!

While pet ownership can hold great sadness, guilt, stress and anxiety in the worst situations, veterinary medicine can hold compassion, love and empathy. We are with you and your pets during the best and the worst of times and we do our best to help you navigate it all.

It was after a particularly sad moment when we helped a family say goodbye to their sweet pup, that we felt all those emotions along with them. These are the really hard bits of what we do. 💔

A couple days later, we were hand delivered the most thoughtful homemade cookies and hand drawn cards showing their gratitude for helping them through an incredibly difficult time. We *know* we are providing the greatest gift of a peaceful transition for these pets surrounded by family and love, but to receive validation that they felt it too, is always icing on the cake (or cookie, if you will☺️)

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your hardest day ❤️ 🐾

And if anyone would like to check out these PERFECTLY baked and decorated cookies, they do not disappoint! you are so talented!!

We will be CLOSED on the 4th of July and will reopen on Friday, July 5th for phone calls and scheduling.

Enjoy your day and stay safe!!

With the 4th of July Celebrations coming soon, here are some important Pet Safety Reminders!

💥 Make sure your pets are microchipped and that your information is correct. -We can help you with that! Also remember to put their collars on now so catching and ID is easier.
💥 If your pets require anxiety medication, make sure you have enough and that you medicate BEFORE their anxiety is triggered for best results.
💥 Keep table scraps away from counter surfers and remind guests and children not to feed your animals. Corn cobs and bones especially!
💥 Some animals may feel the safest in kennels and smaller rooms during fireworks rather than loose in the house-even if they are typically loose.

Let the festivities begin!!

(Disclaimer on this picture-most dogs DON’T do well watching fireworks with you so please leave pets at home 😅)

We love supporting our downtown events, especially those that aim to showcase talented local residents and small businesses! The Downtown Gallery Hop with Madison County LIVE has been such a fun summer event for our practice and it was especially exciting to watch our very own Dr. Lewis play an impromptu tune at the Richmond Area Arts Council during the hop last Friday! We would love to have a huge turnout for the last Gallery Hop of the summer so tell your friends and mark your calendars!

If any of our clients are interested in displaying their own artwork for this event, please send us a message!

Next Gallery Hop: July 12th 5:30-7:30

Today we remember our brave soldiers.

May their sacrifice never be forgotten. May their legacy inspire us to be better citizens and work towards a more peaceful world.

Today we will be closed and we will re-open for normal business hours tomorrow.

Enjoy Memorial Day with those you love!

Lewi is one of our success stories!! Lewi came to us almost a year ago and he was in bad shape, but Dr. Kris was able to give him the care that he needed and now he is thriving, BUT he still needs a forever home!! Kentucky SAVE has been his home for almost a year, but he needs a furever home and family. Lewi has recently gone to training so that he is ready for someone to continue that training and to love him!!
If you would be interested in Adopting Lewi and giving him the home that he longs for, please contact Heather at Kentucky SAVE.
