Sometimes our office will see exotics, other times we will see an Iguana named Little Heezy.
Little Heezy, who is not so little and about 4ft long, came in for an infection in his mouth. Because our office sees exotics, we were able to treat him with some antibiotics and a little TLC and send him on his way. We have been told Heezy is doing much better and is back to being his old self.

Good Morning PRVH Family, we’re sharing some important info from our friends at VIN CE - Veterinary Information Network CE. Leaving pets in the car is so dangerous. Heatstroke is no joke! Often pets are left in the car while running, with the AC on, for a “quick errand”. Because it never resulted in an emergency, the cycle continues. But what happenes when your errand takes too long, the car safety feature turns it off, something malfunctions, or something causes your pet to move around the car and takes the car out of park? Please make alternate arrangements when out running errands. Call us for a day stay if you need it! We’ll have lots of fun with your furry family member and you can have piece of mind.

Summer is in full swing, and many of us will be out walking our dogs, playing fetch, or even taking a dip in the pool! Depending on the age and size of their pet, their exercise needs may differ. Our friends at PetMD have a great resource for dog owners on how to exercise with their furry friends and what to expect depending on their size.

Though it may seem like your four-legged friend loves nothing more than to nap on the couch, dogs need regular exercise too.
