If your pet experiences an emergency while we are closed, please contact your nearest emergency veterinary hospital, or call our office and wait on the line for our live answering service to assist you.

We will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday morning.

We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Memorial Day with their pets! 🐾

How likely is your pet to return home to you if they ran away? Assuming they know their way back home is not enough.

If you don't have a collar on your pet, please consider getting one.

If you do, take a moment to check their tags and make sure all of your contact information is up to date, and that it is readable.

It is also highly recommended to get them microchipped. This ensures that if they end up at the shelter, you will be contacted and reunited.

If you'd like to schedule an appointment to get your furry friend microchipped, give us a call at 607-962-5905

Did you know that hugging a dog triggers the release of oxytocin in both the human and the dog, which can lower stress levels and increase feelings of happiness and trust.
So get to hugging!

Wondering what do do in an urgent situation?
Every pet parent should have a Pet First Aid Kit. Accidents happen and you should be prepared to provide basic first aid while you wait to get your pet in to be seen.
The picture provides a few examples of some items you should have to get your kit started.
Some other good items to have on hand include:
- Disposable Gloves
- Scissors
- Flash Light
- Cotton balls/swabs
- Alcohol Wipes
- Vet Wrap
- A muzzle ( even the nicest of pets can show aggression when hurt)

If you have any questions regarding pet safety please don't hesitate to contact us.

Spay and Neuter
These are two of the most commonly preformed surgeries in veterinary medicine. Have you ever wondered why?

There are many reasons to spay and neuter your pets, beyond the obvious reasoning of removing the ability to reproduce. Spaying and neutering them at an appropriate age can help them live a longer, healthier life.

For Females:
- It significantly reduces the instances of breast tumors.
- Uterine infections are common in older animals which requires expensive emergency surgery and is often fatal if not treated.
- Reduces behavioral annoyances caused by going into heat.

For Males:
- It prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate issues.
- Males will do whatever it takes to find a mate, this reduces their risk of roaming away from home and getting injured in the process.
- He'll be better behaved. Neutered dogs are less likely to try and mount other animals and objects, mark their territory, and if neutered at an early age can help avoid possible aggression issues.

Spaying and neutering is highly cost effective. It is much cheaper than caring for a litter, or paying for an emergency surgery later on.

If you'd like to have a conversation about what these procedures entail and how to schedule, please call us at 607-962-5905 and one of our knowledgeable staff members will be happy to assist you.

By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis, which results in millions of healthy dogs and cats being euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (...

On March 13th, 1942 the "War Dog Program" or "K9 Corps" was created, allowing specially trained dogs to officially be a part of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Today we'd like to take a moment to recognize the bravery and dedication these dogs give to their service.
