Hello SPVH family!!!
We just wanted to let everyone know that we are going to be closed Monday September 7th, 2026 for Labor Day and will reopen Tuesday September 8th, 2026. We hope everyone stays safe and has a happy holiday.
While everyone—dogs and humans alike—enjoys the warmer weather, it’s important to remain mindful of sunny-weather risks. With warmer weather, pets also are at risk for dehydration or heatstroke. After all, they wear a fur coat year-round, regardless of whether it’s snowing or sweltering. Because the pavement can heat up during the summer months, it’s wise to check the temperature of asphalt and walkways before letting your dog walk on them.
One of the biggest hazards of a holiday with pets is all the loud, rowdy action that typically accompanies parties. Many pets become anxious, stressed and fearful around loud noises, such as crowds and fireworks. If your dog is eyeing the buffet—filled with chocolate cookies, hamburgers, and French fries—they’ll probably attempt to sneak off with a snack (or five!). So, keep an eye on them and remember to have a amazing Labor day weekend!
