🐾 Introducing the MacArthur Fund! 🐾
Inspired by a senior lost dog named MacArthur, who was found in the Palisades and received life-saving care thanks to a community-driven GoFundMe, we're thrilled to launch the MacArthur Fund to help other pets in need.
Starting now, $1 from every exam fee will go directly to the fund, supporting treatments for pets whose owners are experiencing financial challenges. Together, we can make sure every furry friend gets the care they deserve.
Join us in making a difference—your exam fee helps pets and families in need!

🌸🐾 Is your furry friend feeling the itch of springtime? 🐾🌸
As the flowers bloom, so does the risk of itchy skin in our pets! Seasonal changes can bring about allergies and irritants that lead to uncomfortable scratching and licking for our pets!
Did you know that dogs and cats experience most of their allergy-related symptoms through their skin? Keep an eye out for signs of itchy skin:
• Persistent scratching or chewing
• Red or inflamed skin
• Hot spots or bald patches
• Excessive shedding
Our team is here to provide relief and we're dedicated to helping your pet find comfort during this itchy season.
🦷🐾 February is Pet Dental Health Month! 🐾🦷
Give your furry friends a reason to smile by prioritizing their dental health!
Regular brushing, dental treats, and check-ups can keep those pearly whites shining and prevent dental disease. Have your pet’s teeth checked if you notice any of these signs:
• Bad breath
• Abnormal chewing or difficulty chewing
• Drooling
• Bleeding from the mouth or gums
• Broken or loose teeth
• Sensitivity around the mouth
Let's show our pets some love and keep their smiles bright! 🦷🐾
We are celebrating Black History Month by paying tribute to the remarkable Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson, a pioneer in Veterinary Medicine and beyond.
Born in Washington, DC, and raised in Texas after losing his parents at age two, Dr. Patterson overcame adversity to earn a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State College in 1923, later adding a Master of Science degree in 1927.
Under his sister's guidance and a commitment to education, Frederick thrived, eventually teaching veterinary science at Virginia State College and becoming Director of Agriculture. In 1928, he embarked on a transformative journey at Tuskegee University, initially heading the veterinary division and later becoming the institution's third president.
In 1944, Dr. Patterson's legacy expanded as he founded both the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. This groundbreaking move aimed to provide African Americans with opportunities to study veterinary medicine during a time of segregation and racial barriers.
The impact of TUCVM is evident today, having graduated nearly 75% of the nation's African American Veterinarians. Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson's vision and dedication continue to resonate, leaving a lasting mark on the history of veterinary education.

📍Visits to your veterinarian: Schedule regular visits for weight monitoring.
📍Regular exercise: Daily walks and playtime are essential.

Let’s keep our pets healthy and happy! ❤️
