Before you sort through the pile of chews and toys on the floor tonight, press your thumbnail into each chew. If it will not give, it is harder than the tooth biting it, and that one goes first. Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital walks you through the rest of the sort, gear by gear. The full breakdown is on the blog.

Not sure which dog toys, chews, and collars to toss? Start with the thumbnail test on every chew, then sort the rest by how it fails. Learn what goes first.

A little sunshine and a big thank-you to our TLVH team! 🌴☀️

Our Punta Cana trip was a chance to relax, share some laughs, and celebrate the people who put so much care into Twin Lakes every day.

To our team: thank you for your hard work, your kindness, and everything you do for our patients, their families, and one another. We appreciate you, and we’re grateful to have you as part of Twin Lakes. 💙

Here are a few memories from our time together in Punta Cana! 🇩🇴

TLVH is going to Punta Cana again this year!

After many stressful cases, many laughs, and many tears, we need some team relaxation to bring us back to baseline. Therefore, we are heading on a plane bright and early for a long weekend to return refreshed, relaxed and unified.

Because of this, our hours for Thanksgiving weekend are slightly changed:

October 9/26- 8AM-8PM

October 10/26- CLOSED

October 11/26- CLOSED

October 12/26- CLOSED

October 13/26- Returning to regular hours!

We ask that you plan medication, and food picks appropriately.

We will see you after the break!

A clean lobby says nothing about how many dogs one handler is watching, or what staff do when a dog gets overwhelmed. The questions you ask before the first drop-off tell you far more than a tour will. Our latest post walks through what to ask about supervision, play groups, and vaccine requirements.

The label on a single dewormer can sound like it covers everything, but roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms each answer to different medications. Coccidia and giardia are a separate matter entirely. Our latest post breaks down what a real deworming schedule looks like and why a stool test earns its place in it.

A puffy muzzle after a bee sting looks dramatic, but the welts themselves are rarely the emergency for your dog or cat. The moment to move fast is when the reaction leaves the skin: vomiting, pale gums, weakness, or any change in breathing. Our latest post walks through where that line sits and what to do on either side of it.
