Have you ever had to leave your pet behind at the vet for surgery? Waiting for that post-surgery call can be torture, we know.

Well, here's what it looks like when we call you! A candid photo of Dr. Day on the phone with a pet owner as he gives them the great news that surgery went well!

When you're smiling, we are too!

Treats, of course!

Presley loves to tag along with her mom when bringing their pets in to Stockton Vet for care. She's always very involved in the exams, asks Dr. Charlie all sorts of questions and helps with treatment as needed.

Her mom sent us this recent picture with the question, "Curious if you are in need of an apprentice". 😍

Mammary mass removal with Dr. Day. With our CO2 laser, full procedure time start to finish was 40 mins. No cutting, no bleeding. Quick & easy recovery and patient is doing well.

Did you know that Stockton Vet is a premier CO2 laser surgical facility and that Dr. Charlie offers specialty services for BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery? With laser surgery, soft tissue procedures are performed in less time than traditional surgery and the doctor doesn't even touch a scalpel which means less bleeding and zero stitches. Win win!

Multitasking at work. It comes in different forms.

These images are from two separate visits, a year apart. It doesn't matter how much time passes between appointments, Jada never takes her eyes off Dr. Charlie when she's here.

This applies to your decks too, especially those made with composite material like Trex. HOT HOT HOT!

Jazzy loves listening to all the hustle & bustle happening outside the room while she waits for the doctor.

The doctors cannot express how important this is! And also be on the lookout for dogs in parked vehicles when walking through a parking lot...you might save a life!

Can you believe that 90% of Lyme disease cases in the United States occur within the Northeast states?! If you ever find an attached tick on your pet and a few weeks later they aren't quite acting themselves, give us a call. The sooner we test and start treatment, the better.

During these mega hot days, remember Dr. Charlie's tip:

Rubbing alcohol has a faster cooling effect than water so if your dog shows any signs of overheating, immediately soak their paws in isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to help reduce their temperature. If symptoms continue, douse their entire body with it and call your local emergency vet.

We're so proud to be a veterinary partner with Tuxedo Hearts Boston Terrier Rehoming and Rescue!

They find homes for short snout dogs (Boston Terriers, Bulldogs, Pugs, etc) and they're always looking for foster homes/volunteers. Reach out to them if you have room in your heart & home ❤

A rescue is only as good as the veterinary professionals it has the privilege to work with. Meet Dr. Charlie Read-Kydd, owner of Stockton Vet Hospital! One of the best there is! The braceo-pro as she’s known!! Dr Charlie walks the walk when it comes to making a difference in the life of animals. She has helped SO many of our dogs…. & some of most challenging medical cases she has solved. We are grateful for her and all her expertise she shares.

Over the next few months we will be introducing and highlighting some of the amazing veterinarians who work with our rescue. 🖤

When a patient loves Dr. Charlie so much that she can't do her doctor thing until all the hugs and kisses are given.

If your pet has bad breath, struggles to eat their food or has never had a dental cleaning in their life, just ask the doctor to have a quick look inside during your next visit to make sure there's nothing serious going on because an animal's instinct is to hide their pain or discomfort.

We will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day so if your pet is running low on their medication or food, be sure to submit your refill request no later than tomorrow at 6pm.
