WE'VE BEEN INVADED!!! We had the pleasure of seeing these feisty feline faces. Our team masterfully multitasked while caring for them and stealing all the snuggles. As you can see, they were a better way to start our day than coffee. Kittens>Coffee any day

Ashley has been a part of Royal Palm Veterinary Center since August 2021. She started working as a veterinary technician in Fort Lauderdale in 2019. Since then, she has learned to
work with pocket pets, birds, dogs and cats at a number of different hospitals. Ashley grew up and lived around all types of animals, which ignited a passion to work with them in the future.
At first, Ashley went to college and majored in criminal justice to eventually work her way up to the K9 unit. Eventually, she discovered other avenues to work more closely with pets which
made her decide to switch her major to animal science. Since then, she has worked to be a more knowledgeable technician through experience and continued education. She became Fear
Free Certified in 2021. She also started studying Veterinary technology at Penn Foster to eventually become a certified veterinary technician. Ashley's goal in life is to help any one in
need, whether they be two, four, or no legged!
Ashley also has her "zoo" at home which includes dogs, birds, a snake, fish, and even rats. Her dog "Hope" is in training to be a service dog, but when off duty, she enjoys relaxing with her
owner at home or going to the neighborhood dog park. Ashley loves visiting America's national parks and intends to visit and collect stamps at all of them. She believes the true adventure is at home and she can't wait to meet your family!

Gearing up for the Holidays and pet anxiety

As fall approaches and we get closer to the Holiday Season. We find ourselves extra busy, in and out and running errands and preparing. For some households, the season means extra houseguests and maybe even a party or two. And of course, no holiday would be complete without some fireworks. But did you know that all these things can be a source of stress and anxiety for pets?

For our furry friends, stress and anxiety doesn't just show itself as hiding or nervousness. It can cause gastric upset, behavior changes and in some cases even cause them to run away. None of these are things that we have on our holiday wish lists. To help alleviate some of the seasonal stressors, ask your pet's veterinary team about pharmaceutical and nutraceutical options today.
We would love to help make the whole family's Holiday Season a little happier!

We will begin seeing appointments at this new location starting on November 20th.

Did you know that October 4th is World Animal Day? And even though we don’t treat all the critters in the world, our staff here at Royal Palm Veterinary Center sure do love them all! From birds and mice to marmosets, and even snakes to sloths there are a lot of animals outside of dogs and cats that we think are pretty cool! So hug your furry, scaly, slimy and feathered friends extra tight today as we celebrate World Animal Day with all of you.

9/1 GINGER CAT APPRECIATION DAY: 😺😻😽😸

We're celebrating our GINGER feline friends here at Royal Palm Vet Center today! Here are some fun facts about our feisty orange feline friends. DID YOU KNOW???

😻- Ginger cats love the limelight! They are talkers, attention hogs and entertainers by nature.
🙀 - Ginger cats have a higher prey drive. According to evidence found in a 2016 study of breed traits and characteristics.
😼 - Much like their red-haired human servants, many Ginger cats have freckles.
😸- Most Ginger cats are male. 3-to-1, in fact! Because it only takes an inherited "Ginger Gene" from momma cats to make an orange boy. To make a girl carrot topped kitty takes the gene from both parents.
😽 - The ginger coat comes in 5 types, classic (swirled), mackerel (striped), spotted, ticked and patched. But all Ginger cats have stripes somewhere in their patterning.
😺 - A couple of famous Ginger cats include Puss and Boots from the film "Shrek" and Milo from "The Adventures of Milo and Otis."
😼 - All ginger cats exhibit the tabby pattern. Including their signature "M" forehead marking
😺 - Certain breeds are more likely to exhibit ginger fur than others. Some of the most common ginger cat breeds are the Abyssinian, Bengal, Egyptian Mau, Munchkin, and Persian.
😸 - Ginger Cats Have Longer Lifespans. On average, cats tend to live for 12-18 years. However, ginger cats are known to have longer lifespans and can live up to 20 years.
😹 - In 1998, an orange tabby named Stubbs was elected Mayor of the town of Talkeetna in Alaska. And held Office for 19 whole minutes!

Do you have a Ginger cat in your life? If so hug them!
