🐾🎆 A Friendly July 4th Reminder 🎆🐾

The holiday will be here before we know it, and for many pets, fireworks can be a stressful time.

If you think your pet may benefit from anxiety medication for the upcoming holiday, please reach out to your veterinarian sooner rather than later. Veterinarians are required to have a current exam on file (within the last 12 months) in order to prescribe medications.

If your pet needs to establish care, update an exam, or request a refill, now is the perfect time to get those plans in place.

We kindly ask for at least 2 business days for prescription requests whenever possible. While we do our best to accommodate urgent needs, giving your veterinary team a little extra notice helps ensure your pet gets what they need before the holiday rush.

A quick phone call today can help make for a much less stressful July 4th for both you and your pet. ❤️🐶🐱

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and comfortable holiday season! 🇺🇸🐾

🐾 Meet Faith – Your Future Snuggle Buddy! 🐾

Faith is an estimated 1 to 1.5-year-old young adult feline with the sweetest little soul. She is a total love bug who adores attention and will happily soak up every bit of affection you offer.

When she’s not leaning in for pets, Faith can usually be found: ✨ Curling up in a cozy bed like she owns it
✨ Making biscuits like a pro baker
✨ Zooming into playful mode with her fun, kitten-like energy

She’s the perfect mix of affectionate cuddle companion and playful young cat who still has that youthful spark.

If you’re looking for a cat who will love you deeply, keep you company, and bring a little joy (and biscuit-making magic) into your home—Faith is ready to meet you. 💕

🐱 Come fall in love with Faith today!

📅🐾 June is Pet Preparedness Month! 🐾📅

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them, and being prepared can make all the difference for your furry family members.

Here are a few simple ways to be ready:
✅ Keep your pet's microchip and ID tags up to date
✅ Have at least a week's supply of food and medications on hand
✅ Store copies of vaccination and medical records in an easy-to-access location
✅ Create a pet emergency kit with food, water, medications, bowls, leash, carrier, and comfort items
✅ Make a plan for where your pets will go if you need to evacuate

Taking a few minutes now can help keep your pets safe during unexpected situations later.

🐶🐱 Is your pet emergency-ready? Let us know what essentials you keep in your pet's emergency kit!

🐾 JUNE IS NATIONAL MICROCHIPPING MONTH 🐾

A collar can fall off.
A tag can become unreadable.
A microchip stays with your pet for life.

Microchips help lost pets find their way back home, but only if the registration information is current. Take a moment this month to verify your contact information and make sure your pet's chip is up to date.

Because every pet deserves the best chance of a happy reunion. ❤️🐶🐱
