Prevention is always better than cure. By taking your cat to the veterinarian regularly for a clean bill of health, you not only ensure their well-being but also gain peace of mind. Your cat depends on you to be their advocate for health, happiness, and longevity. Celebrate National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day by prioritizing your cat's veterinary care.

Attention ALL pet parents who travel with their furry family members 📢‼️ Due to the CDC's new guidelines on pet travel, we are making some changes to how we administer rabies vaccinations. Please review below and schedule appointments accordingly:

1. Patients even 1 day past due on rabies vaccinations will need to restart their series with a 1-year rabies vaccine. You may renew this vaccine in the same year with a 3-year vaccine. Please note that our feline friends will always be given a 1-year vaccine.

2. For puppies and kittens getting their first rabies vaccine who will be travelling, a microchip must be placed BEFORE receiving their vaccination.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call our clinic at (253) 475-5301. Thank you for your support and entrusting us with your pet's care.

Your Team at Commencement Bay Animal Hospital

Does your pet eagerly watch you cook, hoping for a tasty treat to fall their way? Remember, it's essential to never leave pets unattended in the kitchen while cooking. Pets may accidentally jump onto stovetops or knock over hot items, causing fires or burns. Use stove k**b covers to prevent pets from accidentally turning on burners.
