🐾💙 Caring for the people who care for your pets!

Our team gives so much of themselves every day—comforting nervous patients, supporting worried families, celebrating recoveries, and offering compassion through difficult goodbyes. Their hearts are in everything they do, and their mental health and well-being deserve care, too.

On Friday, October 16, Brooksville Veterinary Clinic will close at 3:00 PM for a team event—a chance to laugh, connect, recharge, and celebrate the wonderful people behind your pet’s care. 💙

We’ll reopen Monday, October 19, at 7:30 AM for normal business hours. If your pet needs emergency care while we’re closed, please contact one of the hospitals listed in our graphic.

🐶🐱 National Veterinary Technician Week is October 18–24, 2026! Next week, help us celebrate our incredible veterinary technicians and show your veterinary team some love. A kind word, a heartfelt thank-you, or a note about how they’ve helped your pet can mean so much. 💌

Thank you for giving us this time to care for one another—and for trusting us to care for your furry family! 🐾

🌪️ June is National Pet Preparedness Month — and in Florida, it also marks the beginning of Hurricane Season. Emergency planning isn’t just for people — pets also need preparedness plans.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), and Ready.gov all recommend including pets in disaster evacuation plans by:
✔ Keeping vaccines current
✔ Maintaining accessible medical records
✔ Preparing emergency supply kits
✔ Ensuring pets have permanent identification through microchips

To help families prepare this season, we’re offering:
🐾 $10 OFF Microchips Throughout June 🐾
Microchips provide permanent identification that can help reunite lost pets with their families during evacuations, storms, or emergencies.

To participate in Pet Preparedness Month and save on microchipping, pets must be current on their Rabies vaccination and have had an up-to-date annual exam with one of our wonderful veterinarians here at Brooksville Veterinary Clinic.

Please note: This promotion has no cash value beyond the discounted service price.

Did you know that "doggie breath" isn't actually normal? 🐶

Bad breath is often the first sign of dental disease. Just like us, our pets need clean teeth to stay happy, healthy, and pain-free. Brushing your pet's teeth at home is the best way to stop plaque and bacteria from causing bigger problems later.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month! ✨

To help you get started on the right foot (or paw), we have a special gift. Schedule your pet’s dental procedure for February 2026, and you will receive a FREE C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit to take home!
Call us today at 352-796-5181 book your spot before our schedule fills up! 🦷

Myth: “Dogs eat grass only when they’re sick.”

🌱🐕Not true! Many dogs eat grass because they like the taste or texture. BUT… if vomiting, diarrhea, or drooling follows, it may signal GI upset.

🩺 When in doubt, we’re here to sort myth from medical concern.
