Please, please, please, do not leave your pets outside unattended. We had a five month old DOBERMAN in this week. An EAGLE attacked him and tried to lift him off the ground by his ears! A smaller dog would have been a goner. Besides the risk of heat stroke in this weather, many predators won't hesitate to make a meal of your pets. Stay with them and keep them safe.

We love ALL CREATURES! That's the Braden Run difference!

🐾 Support Your Local Small Animal Hospitals: Understanding the Impact 🐾

Dear Pet Community 🐶🐱,

We hope this post finds you and your furry companions thriving! Today, we'd like to share some insights into a topic that affects the heart of our community - the impact of low-cost spay/neuter clinics and vaccine clinics on your local small animal hospitals.

🚑 The Real Cost of Low-Cost Clinics:

While these clinics may offer affordable services, there's a hidden cost that directly affects the survival of small animal hospitals like ours. As a local practice, we strive to provide personalized care, a familiar environment, and a strong bond with our clients and their pets.

👉 How You Can Make a Difference:

🏥 Consider Your Local Hospital: When you choose to spay/neuter or vaccinate your pets at your local small animal hospital, you contribute to the overall health of your community. Your support helps us maintain the quality of care and the personal touch that makes a real difference.

🌟 Personalized Care: Local hospitals offer more than just medical services. We provide a connection with your pets, understanding their unique needs, and building a relationship that goes beyond a simple transaction.

🤝 Spread the Word: Share this post with friends and family. By raising awareness about the importance of supporting local small animal hospitals, we can ensure the continued well-being of our pets.

😓 BUY YOUR PREVENTATIVES FROM US! ORDERS FROM CHEWY OR OUTSIDE PHARMACIES REALLY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS. YOU MAY SAVE A FEW BUCKS, BUT YOU ARE LITERALLY PUTTING THE CLINIC WHO KNOWS YOU AND YOUR PETS OUT OF BUSINESS, WHILE EXPECTING US TO PAY OUR EMPLOYEES TO HELP YOU.

🙏 Thank you for being a part of our community! Your trust and support means the world to us, and together, we can continue providing top-notch care for your beloved pets.

🚨 Don't Fall for the Fakes! Know the Difference in Flea & Tick Prevention! 🚨

Dear pet parents, ensuring your furry friend is protected from pesky pests is crucial. 🐾❌ But beware of counterfeit flea and tick preventions circulating in the market! We have seen an influx of foreign and counterfeit preventative products lately. Please be mindful of where your buying your products from when products come from overseas you never know what they can do to your pet. The picture above shows legitimate USA made Simparica Trio from our office vs the counterfeit product.

Here's how to spot the real deal:
1️⃣ Check for Authenticity: Purchase products from reputable sources like our hospital.
2️⃣ Read Labels Carefully: Genuine products have clear labels with active ingredients and usage instructions in English.
3️⃣ Beware of Unrealistic Prices: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Counterfeit products often come with unbelievably low prices.

At Braden Run Animal Hospital, we prioritize your pet's safety. Consult with Dr. McMillen to ensure you're using genuine flea and tick preventions. Let's keep those tails wagging without the worry of unwanted visitors! 🐕🌿

Due to decreased business, we wil be reducing hours as needed. Please call ahead before driving in to pick up medications. We will try to post updates on hours here, but sometimes hours will be reduced on short notice. We are one of the few veterinary clinics left that have not sold out to a corporation, and these facilities are disappearing. Thank you all for your understanding and support.

Animals that are not current on their rabies vaccine, or have no proof of vaccination, that get into an altercation with another animal that had no rabies vaccine history, have to be turned in to the state veterinarian, undergo a rigid vaccination protocol and be quarantined for five months. It's the law in PA. It's not the veterinarian's fault your pet wasn't vaccinated. We are under control of the state and can't break the law for your convenience.
