Happy 4th of July!

Altas Palmas Animal Clinic will be closed on July 4th, 2024. We will be reopening on July 5th at 7am for scheduled appointments. In case of any emergencies, please refer to PetDoctor911.

While 4th of July is a great day to pop fireworks and relax, please remember that loud noises and sudden flashes of light can spook your pet so be sure to secure your pet in a safe place, such a kennel indoors. A good idea is to play white noise to help muffle those loud noises. We recommend using Adaptil/Feliway, which are calming sprays, to help relax your baby.
