Every lost pet deserves a chance to find their way home. Microchips provide permanent identification.
✔️ Unlike collars, they can’t fall off.
✔️ Vets and shelters can scan a pet for a microchip to help reunite pets.
✔️ Ensure your contact info is updated in the registry.
Contact your primary veterinarian to schedule you pet(s) for microchipping.

Outdoor fun comes with risks. Protect your pet from:

If your pet experiences heat distress or insect-borne illness symptoms, call (252) 991-6560.

Emergencies can happen anytime—make sure your pets are included in your fire safety plan! Here are some essential tips:
🐾 Have an Escape Plan: Know the quickest way out and assign someone to grab your pets in an emergency.
🚪 Keep Collars & Leashes Handy: In case of evacuation, having them ready helps prevent escape or injury.
🔥 Never Leave Open Flames Unattended: Pets can accidentally tip over candles or get too close to fireplaces.
🚨 Place Pet Alert Stickers on Windows: Let firefighters know how many pets are inside your home.
📂 Store Important Documents Safely: Keep vaccination records and vet contacts in a fireproof/waterproof container.
🏥 Get Your Pet Checked After a Fire: Smoke inhalation and burns aren’t always visible—if your pet was in a house fire, have them evaluated by a veterinarian immediately.
A little preparation can save lives! For veterinary emergencies, call (252) 991-6560.

Heat-related illnesses can become life-threatening fast. Keep pets cool with:
🥤 Fresh, Clean Water Always – Dehydration can set in quickly.
🍉 Frozen Treats – Freeze pet-safe snacks like plain greek yogurt or watermelon.
🏃 Limit Exercise in the Heat – Avoid activity during peak hours.
If your pet collapses, vomits excessively, or becomes lethargic after being in hot weather, call (252) 991-6560 immediately.

Yesterday was another incredibly busy holiday – with over 50 patients seen, our team was hard at work ensuring pets got the care they needed. We're incredibly grateful to our clients for their patience and kindness throughout the day as we navigated a full caseload.

Despite the hustle, Olivia, RVT, and Amaya, Pharmacy Technician, were able to pause for just a moment to show a little 4th of July spirit ❤️🤍💙

As we head into the weekend, we anticipate continued high volumes. If you're unsure whether your pet needs to come in, please consider using our online triage tool to help guide your decision:
