Welcome to the Colonial Animal Hospital Family! 🐾✨

We had some extra special visitors this past week—two adorable new members of our pet family! Meet Ozzie and Sadie who came in for their very first check-ups.

We can’t wait to watch these little ones grow and be part of their journey! Show them some love in the comments. 💕

We had some very special visitors at the hospital! Nine preschoolers from Edith’s enrichment program stopped by for a fun and educational visit. They were full of curiosity and excitement as they got a behind-the-scenes look at what we do.

Dr. Fennell and staff had a great time showing them around and introducing them to some of our patients. From learning about stethoscopes, to seeing how we care for animals, these little learners were eager to soak up every moment.

Who knows—maybe we met a few future veterinarians today! We love inspiring young minds and sharing our passion for animal care. Thanks to Edith’s enrichment program for bringing them by!

⚠️Save this post for an emergency! ⚠️

Uh-oh... did your pet just snack on something they shouldn’t have? From sneaky counter surfers to curious chewers, accidents happen—but acting fast can make all the difference.

This National Animal Poison Prevention Week (March 16–22), take a moment to pet-proof your home with these quick tips:
Store meds securely – Keep all medications (human and pet) in closed cabinets, not on countertops or nightstands.
Watch your snacks – Keep chocolate, grapes, onions, and other toxic foods out of reach.

If your pet ingests something toxic, call us immediately at (703) 451-5400. If for some reason you cannot reach a veterinary professional, contact:

📞 ASPCA 24/7 Poison Control Hotline: 888-426-4435
📞 Pet Poison Helpline: 855-764-7661
Being prepared can save lives.

NYE is right around the corner!

Please consider SILEO when it comes to your pet's stress over fireworks this holiday season.

SILEO is a medication prescribed by your veterinarian to help calm your dog when frightened by loud noises (noise aversion). Common noise aversion triggers include fireworks, thunder, construction work, traffic or street noise, celebrations, vacuum cleaners and smoke detectors.
