A neighbor’s black cat had kittens and she found a baby possum on their deck that must have fallen off of its mom. The mama cat took it in as one of her kittens but she doesn’t understand why this little funny kitten hangs on her continuously. 😊
At this point in time we need to be more like the animals and take care of each other in their time of need.🙌🏻

Thank you so much Jonathan for the generous donation to the Dini fund. Happy holidays to you and your family. 💜

The Dini Memorial Fund

The Dini Memorial Fund was created in memory of a beloved patient who passed too soon. In her memory’s honor, the clinic has established a fund to provide services to pets in need of urgent care whose owners would not otherwise be able to afford the cost of veterinary services. Dupont Veterinary Clinic donates $1.00 to the fund for every wellness exam we provide. It takes a village 😺🐶

Dupont Veterinary Clinic Family - owned and dedicated to delivering compassionate and personalized care since 1991.

--In the past few years, pet ownership has notably increased, turning the veterinary sector into an appealing investment prospect for major corporations. The acquisition of new practices by these corporations is frequently low-key, posing a challenge in differentiating between veterinary facilities owned by private individuals and those owned by corporate entities.

Dupont Veterinary Clinic is among the fading number of veterinary clinics in Washington, DC, that are still independently owned. You might be curious about the significant distinctions between corporate-
owned and locally-owned veterinary clinics. One key advantage is that it lets us prioritize our connections with clients and their pets. This independence allows us to deliver personalized care without being bound by the standardized medical protocols imposed on veterinarians by corporate
entities.

In a world dominated by corporate giants, DVC remains a sanctuary of personalized, family-centered
veterinary care. While we understand the importance of business and financial success, our unique position, free from the relentless demands of profit-focused private equity firms, allows us to prioritize the health and happiness of our patients, clients, and the dedicated staff who are an integral part of our close-knit community. It's not just a business to us; it's a heartfelt commitment to the well-being of
those we serve and the bonds we share.

Our enduring commitment is fueled by the trust you place in us. Your confidence is the driving force
behind our continued dedication to delivering exceptional care for your cherished pets.

We extend our heartfelt thanks for choosing Dupont Veterinary Clinic.

Happy Holidays!

Please, please, please, do not give Rawhide treats to your dogs!

In addition, much as you hate to waste turkey, ham or Chicken bones, and your doggy is drooling, please, do not give cooked bones!

Chicken and turkey bones can splinter like timber, and can cause severe internal damage.

Other cooked bones are also dangerous, and very sharp, and can lodge in the gums.

The rubbish bin is the only place for bones.

Also remember, keep chocolate well out of reach too, as this is highly toxic.

Keep your pets safe this Christmas 🎄

Dear Clients,

Many of you have heard about a new respiratory disease that vets are reporting in dogs.  Not a lot is known about it, but it is most likely caused by a virus.   It is not caused by the Influenza virus that caused the outbreak of pneumonia earlier this year.

In most cases, the dogs are having a cough that lasts a long time (6 to 8 weeks) and doesn’t resolve with antibiotics.  A smaller group of dogs are getting more serious pneumonia.  Death from the disease is uncommon but has occurred. 

Our advice to you at this time is:

·         Try to avoid contact between your dog and unfamiliar dogs.

·         Try to avoid contact between your dog and sick dogs.

·         If your dog is coughing, keep him or her away from other dogs.

·         Don’t let your dog drink from communal water bowls.

·         Keep your dog up to date on vaccines. 

·         Bring your dog in if he or she is coughing or having difficulty breathing.

So far, we have not been seeing any significant increase in respiratory disease among our patients.  We will let you know if that changes.  Please let us know if you have further questions about this.

Jan Rosen,
Medical Director

It's time to meet Magnolia! Magnolia is being virtually fostered by Dupont Veterinary Clinic. Thank you for shining a light on Magnolia so we can find her a home for the holidays!

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue

Everyone, please give Magnolia a round of applause! This brave girl has been through a lot, including an evacuation from Texas during a hurricane. Despite it all, she loves people and dogs so much, especially puppies! As sweet as her namesake, this Texas flower loves to bask in the sun all day, and just wants to cuddle right up to her people. Magnolia is great in her crate, and keeps herself busy during the day. But after patiently waiting for her human to finish making the big bucks, she’s ready for play! Since Magnolia is still settling down, she’ll need to be in an adult-only household, and will do best with a playful resident dog who can listen to her when she’s ready to be call it quits!

This shy girl needs time and patience to feel safe in her new home, but once she gets there, she’ll likely be following you around, hoping you’ll give her a good game of tug of war. Even though she needs patience in some areas, she’s already housetrained, and is great on the leash. And there’s even more good news, she also comes with additional training and support to make sure she has the best transition possible.

Thank you again, Dupont Veterinary Clinic for giving Magnolia additional exposure so we can get her adopted ASAP!

Follow this link and search "Magnolia" to apply to adopt this sweet girl. https://www.homewardtrails.org/dog-adoption-2/
