With the winter season coming to a close, we say "see ya real soon" to our many winter visitor friends, including our amazing Dr. Paul Danhaus. We had our "end of the season" dinner at da Boyz on Main St. this past weekend with nearly all staff and spouses in attendance. We were very grateful to our server Gabriel who took such great care of this wild bunch. Happy spring everyone!

Offering compassionate care for your pets.

We are closely monitoring the Canine Respiratory Illness that has made national news. So far we have not seen a pattern of symptoms outside of the seasonal norm at our hospital, however we are still taking precautions. It has been advised that Pet Parents make sure that your dog is up to date on all vaccinations, including those listed below by the AVMA, and to keep contact with other dogs outside of your home to a minimum. We understand that this may be challenging with this being the holiday season. We will be asking that any coughing dog and their owner remain in their vehicle until an exam room is ready to minimize time in the lobby and avoid contact with other dogs awaiting their appointments.

Excerpt from American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Press Release 11/28/2023:
"Owners are strongly urge to keep their dog’s vaccines updated. While the existing vaccines may not specifically target this unknown infection, maintaining overall health through routine vaccinations can help support a dog’s immune system in combating various infections. Optimal protection against common respiratory infections includes the annual intranasal vaccine for Bordetella, Adenovirus type 2, and parainfluenza vaccine, combined with the injectable influenza H3N2 vaccine. Avoid bringing a dog into the community until two weeks after the last dose of a vaccine and immunity has developed."

Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it is easy to overfeed them! Fortunately, with proper diet and exercise, all pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and stay within a healthy weight range. Call us today to learn more.

Your pets' heart is a muscle that has to work all day, every day. Regular exercise and a proper diet will not only help keep your pet’s heart healthy, but improve their overall wellbeing. During your pet’s next exam, be sure to ask for more information on how to help keep your pet’s heart healthy.

Effective immediately, we will be collecting a non-refundable deposit for NEW CLIENT appointments. Over the last month, we have had so many NO SHOWs that they equate to an entire day of appointments for one of our Veterinarians. So many sick or injured pets could have been seen during those appointment times. It's disheartening to say the least. We hope that the deposit will encourage those who choose schedule to call to reschedule or cancel in a timely manner if they are unable to attend. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

06/20/2022

Happy Monday! Please be advised that we will be closed today from Noon-2pm for staff training.

Not sure about the right diet for your pet? Be sure to ask how to monitor your pet’s weight during their next visit!
