Dear Stuart Animal Hospital fur-parents,

Dr. Ortiz is enjoying a well deserved vacation this week, but we have wonderful relief Veterinarians covering for him!

Unfortunately, we will not have a Veterinarian on staff Saturday, July 27th. The hospital will still be open for food and medication pick ups as well as having minor appointments available with one of our qualified technicians for Nail Trims, booster vaccines and triage should you have a sick pet that day.

The Pet Emergency of Martin County will also be open in case of a medical emergency (772-781-3302).

Please try to call in your refills by Friday, midday, so that our veterinarian on staff can approve the refills! Thank you for your cooperation!

Decreased activity;
Lagging behind on walks;
Slowness to rise;
Hesitation or difficulty in jumping up or down;
Stiffness;
Difficulty going up or down stairs;
Emotional changes, such as becoming more withdrawn or less happy and excited, or even showing signs of aggression or irritated behavior.

July 4th is rapidly approaching! If your pet is in need of anxiety medications to help them stay calm during fire works, please call the office to get their prescription filled before the week of July 4th. Your pet will need to have a current exam (within the past year) in order to fill any prescriptions.

Also, July 4th is one of the biggest days that pets escape due to fear of the noise. Here are some tips to help make this day go smoothly...

*Walk your pet during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off
• Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks
• Put on some music or tv to mask the firework sounds
• Create a quiet space where your pet can feel in control
• Create some hiding places around your home

*Make sure your pets have identification tags with up-to-date information

*Make sure your contact info in the microchip registry is up-to-date.

*Check that your yard is secure enough to keep your pet contained if they get spooked by fireworks, etc.

*Leave your pets home when you go to parties' fireworks displays, parades. etc.

Dear Valued Pet Parents,

At Stuart Animal Hospital we value our relationship with you and aim to offer comprehensive and personalized care. To better serve you and your pets, we are updating our prescription policy, effective July 1st, 2024.
We will no longer communicate directly with third-party pet med pharmacies such as PetMeds and Chewy. Instead, we will provide written prescriptions upon request. When we receive a prescription request from a third-party pharmacy, it initiates an unnecessarily lengthy and redundant process that diverts time away from your pets and ties up our phone lines.
If you are not already familiar with Vetsource, our online pharmacy, like Chewy and PetMeds, it offers the convenience of home delivery. Our online store is competitive with third-party pharmacies and fully integrated with our clinic, so you won't need a written prescription when ordering through us.
Medications purchased directly from us, and our online store are backed by the manufacturer and, most importantly, by us, your pet’s veterinarian.
You can browse our online pharmacy through our website anytime at: stuartanimalhospital.com and clicking on the Vetsource link at the bottom left of the home page.
We will always support our clients' choice of where to obtain their pet’s medications and are happy to accommodate requests for written prescriptions. If you choose to get your pet’s medication from a big box store, simply request a written prescription by phone or email. To avoid running out of medications, please request the written script 7 days before your pet's current supply runs out. We can deliver this prescription via mail or in-person pickup. If you have any further questions about our policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Dr. Raul Ortiz-Umpierre

OA is a chronic and painful condition that causes your dog to hurt all the time if left untreated.

OA is a type of arthritis that happens when protective tissue in the joints is worn down, causing bones to rub against one another.

Dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds can have OA pain—it’s not just a condition seen in older dogs.

OA decreases your dog’s willingness to play, affects their quality of life, and makes it hard for you to do the things you love together.

Call the hospital today to see if Librela is indicated for your Pup!

It's very important to not only do research on how to take your pet out of the country but the requirements to re-enter the US. Please make sure your pet has the necessary testing and vaccines and treatments, as well as the timeline these things are needed, in order to travel with your pet into and out of the country. Please visit https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel to see the requirements of the country you want to travel too.

To prevent the re-introduction of rabies, the CDC announced new rules on traveling with dogs to the U.S. Some say it could cause unintended harm.
