It's Every Day is Tag Day! The day we remind you why having an identification tag on your pet at all times is so important!

You never know when your pet will slip out a door, a fence will be left open accidentally, or a well-meaning pet sitter drops the leash. Make sure your pet has identification on their collar at all times. Microchipping is ALWAYS best, but it requires someone who finds your pet to get them to a veterinarian or shelter to get scanned. Save them the step by having your contact info available on your pet, every day.

Addie is our amazing SENIOR STUDENT assistant this year. Please help us support her! 🐾🧡💙

"The supply drive for APL is for our senior civics project. We have to research a topic and then come up with a service learning project that goes along with it. We are researching the funds that go into animal shelters and decided to organize a supply drive for APL. I am doing my project with Olivia S and Lilliana M. We also have donation boxes set up in The Lighthouse Restaurant, Mockingbird Bakery, Razzo’s, and the Rochester Public Library and will be collecting donations until April 18th.

🚨If someone's "dog" played fetch with our Wifi booster and "accidentally" dropped it into your purse during their visit last week, please return it to the front desk as soon as possible. Since it has mysteriously gone missing, we are unable to process payments, enter notes or print from our laptops while in the exam rooms. We have cameras and I take theft seriously, as do the police. Of course, if this was taken on accident by a dog, no harm no foul, we just need it back. Thank you in advance for your honesty and cooperation.

Poll any one of our team members, and they will agree. Retractable leashes are never a good idea! One of my clients literally had his finger cut off by one of these, and it was a small breed dog that was on the other end. We recently threw around the idea of buying Pet Doctor leashes and exchanging them for all retractable leashes that come into our clinic. Would you be willing to trade us? 🤔

We get questions about raw pet food all the time and are seeing more patients with health issues as a result. While it’s tempting to switch things up from the same old kibble, there are many hidden risks. With top organizations like the FDA, CDC, and AVMA advising caution, there are healthier, safer options for both your pet and your family.

🐾 Welcome to The Pet Doctor family, Benji, Juice, and Yeti! 🐾 These three adorable pups had their first veterinary visits, and we couldn’t be more excited to care for them. Benji, the sweet Aussie, loves ice chips and Nerf balls, while Juice, the playful Frenchie, can’t resist a good Milk-Bone or chew toy. Yeti, our gentle giant, has the fluffiest coat and the kindest eyes. We’re looking forward to seeing these cuties again for more tail wags, belly rubs, and happy visits! 🐕💕

Happy First Day of Spring!

🌸🐶 Spring has sprung! As the weather warms up (we hope) and outdoor adventures begin, here are a few spring safety tips to keep your pup happy and healthy:

🌷 Beware of Toxic Plants – Some spring blooms like tulips and lilies can be harmful if ingested. Keep curious noses away!
🐜 Watch for Pests – Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are more active in spring. Make sure your pup is protected with parasite prevention.
🌱 Lawn & Garden Safety – Fertilizers, pesticides, and mulch can be dangerous for dogs. Stick to pet-safe products when sprucing up your yard.
☀️ Sun & Heat Awareness – Warmer days can lead to overheating. Bring water, avoid midday heat, and never leave your pup in the car!

Enjoy the season with your four-legged friend while keeping them safe! 🌿🐾
