You never know what the day will bring at SVVH! 🐥

Here, our versatile Pharmacy Tech, Kaleb, tended to a baby bird that was brought to us after it fell from its nest. Great job, Kaleb!

Thank you to the kind Samaritan who stepped in to help and made sure this little one received the care it needed. It's always wonderful to see members of our community looking out for animals in need.❤️

Here at Stream Valley Veterinary Hospital, we utilize all forms of Fear Free techniques to help your pet feel the most comfortable in our care. However, not all Fear Free work is created equal~sometimes it just takes a peanut butter treat and other times it takes a bit of extra help.

In one instance, peanut butter was a perfect distraction from getting a microchip checked for an international health certificate. Not too many pets enjoy seeing an unfamiliar device near them, even if it doesn't touch them!

In other cases, medical intervention may be necessary when it comes to the really scary stuff, like getting their nails trimmed. We can give your pets a safe, reversible anesthetic that has them sleep through those scary moments. With a simple injection after the nails are in tip top shape, pets can be up and back home within the same hour.

Don't sweat the small stuff! If your pet is due for a nail trim or other services, ask us about how we can best implement Fear Free ways to make the best out of their visit. Give us a call at (703) 723-1017 or check out our website at www.streamvalleyvet.com to schedule!

This is no April Fool's; we're now offering the ProHeart 12 injection-- a convenient, SAFE, and long-lasting solution to protect your pet against heartworm disease. For those who struggle to maintain their monthly preventative routine, this long-lasting solution can be perfect for you!

How does it work? After the injection is performed, slow-dissolving microparticles containing the active ingredient, moxidectin, are stored in your dog's fat-storing connective tissue. Then, the medicine is released evenly over the 12-month period to keep your four-legged family member consistently protected from heartworms.

With ProHeart 12, staying on top of your pet's heartworm prevention has never been more convenient. If you're interested in learning more about the veterinarian-administered injection or want to schedule an appointment, give us a call at (703) 723-1017 today!
