Good news and bad news!
We regained power, but have lost it a few times again!

Unfortunately due to the uncertainty of the weather and power situation, we are unable to open today. We are anticipating being open at full capacity tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe!

9:30 am UPDATE: We are currently without power. Without power, we are unable to operate at capacity. We are waiting for an estimated time of restoration.

Due to storms and street flooding, at this time, we are planning to open at 10:00 AM.
Please stay safe and weather aware!

🌧️ Weather Update for Our Clients 🌧️

We are closely monitoring the tropical weather conditions developing in the Gulf and will continue to evaluate any potential impacts to our area.

At this time, our schedule remains unchanged. However, if weather conditions require adjustments to our hours or temporary clinic closures, we will share updates here on our social media pages and through other communication channels.

Please note that our clinic will already be closed on Saturday, 6/20/26, as previously scheduled.

We encourage everyone to stay weather-aware and ensure your pets have necessary medications, food, and supplies on hand in case of severe weather.

In Southeast Louisiana, It's Always Flea Season! 🐾

These live fleas and "flea dirt" (flea p**p!) were found on a patient recently. Flea dirt is often one of the first signs of a flea infestation, even when you don't see many live fleas. And for some pets, it only takes one flea bite to trigger significant itching and skin irritation.

Pets with flea allergies may experience:
• Intense itching
• Red, irritated skin
• Hair loss
• Secondary skin infections

Because our warm, humid climate allows fleas to thrive year-round, consistent flea prevention is one of the best ways to keep your pet comfortable and healthy.

We offer:
✔ Flea prevention products in the clinic
✔ Bravecto Quantum™, a long-acting flea and tick injection for dogs
✔ Convenient online pharmacy ordering

If your pet is scratching more than usual, or if you've spotted fleas, give us a call or book online to discuss the best flea prevention plan for your pet!

🐾 Our friends at the Animal Assistance League of Slidell need our community's help!

Their shelter is currently at capacity, and to help more pets find loving homes, they are offering NO ADOPTION FEES on any dog for the foreseeable future.

If you've been thinking about adding a furry family member, now is a wonderful time to adopt. Every adoption creates space for another pet in need.

Did you know that we are happy to offer a FREE Comprehensive Exam for all pets adopted from the Animal Assistance League?
If you are able to adopt, we would love to help your new furry friend get a great start in their home!

Can't adopt right now? Please help by sharing their post and spreading the word. A simple share could help a deserving pet find their forever home. ❤️🐶🐱

WE ARE STILL IN MAYDAY. FEES HAVE BEEN WAIVED FOR ALL DOGS‼️‼️

ZERO adoption fees on ALL dogs continues. All dog adoption fees are waived! Please help these dogs.

Mayday! We are at a breaking point. 🚨

🐕Our shelter has reached a level we’ve never wanted to see! Kennels are full, temporary housing is full, and dogs are now occupying pop-up kennels simply because there is nowhere else for them to go.

We need dogs leaving the shelter.

To help create desperately needed space, we are WAIVING adoption fees on ALL DOGS for Thursday, June 11, Friday, June 12 AND Saturday, June 13.

This isn’t just a promotion. It’s an emergency effort to help relieve the overcrowding and give these dogs a chance to get out of the shelter and into homes.

🐾 NO ADOPTION FEES ON ALL DOGS�📅 Thursday, June 11, Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13.

Right now, every adoption matters more than ever.

Can’t adopt? Foster! Opening your home temporarily can save a life, and we’ll provide everything you need to care for your foster pet.

After evaluation, our patient from yesterday's X-ray underwent a C-section and spay procedure.
One SINGLE kitten was present!

Both mom and kitten did well, and here's one of our favorite sounds from the day—a newborn making its presence known!

You probably don't need a radiology residency for this one!
👀

This young feline patient presented to us for further evaluation after her owner noticed bleeding.

We took this radiograph as part of our workup.

What do you see?

Drop your observations in the comments before checking back tomorrow for the outcome of this case and a very special update!
