Just an FYI, someone is selling Family Animal Hospital Alumni Shirts, etc. They’re tagging people from this page. It’s not us. We are not involved in any way. Buy them if you want, but we are in no way involved in the sales

Hi folks. A good friend found a cat in the Creve Coeur Park area. Neutered male red tabby, 4-6 years old, chubby, no microchip. Message or call me at the office if you know of anyone missing him. He’s indoors, warm and safe. Thanks. Dr. Chip

Hi folks. Since our beloved, well-fed elected officials have decided that it’s more important to score political points than to feed people, I’m going to help feed people. Starting this Wednesday, 11/5, there will be a donation box for Operation Food Search in my lobby at Family Animal Hospital. If you are so inclined, please feel free to drop off food or personal care items. See attached list. I’ll keep this going as long as there’s a need. We can all do something. Thanks.

THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our coat drive! The response was overwhelming. You helped to warm up over 60 kids (and at least one cynical old heart) this winter! I am so lucky to live and work in a place with such generous people. Thank you!

Hi folks. I’m trying to help some kids and will take any assistance I can get. One of my clients is a teacher at a local elementary school. She has several kids in her class who come to school every day wearing lightweight coats because they don’t have anything heavier to wear. It’s too bloody cold for that. If you have old kids’ winter coats that you don’t need and are willing to part with, would you consider dropping them off at my office? I will get them to that school (and to other schools in the area if we get a bunch). Every little bit helps these days. My office:
Family Animal Hospital 11986 Dorsett Rd. Maryland Heights MO 63043.
Thanks!!

Hi gang. I hope everyone is well.
These 2 beauties need a home. Their owner had to move out of state and can't take them along. "Lennox", the long haired tabby, is about 2 years old. "Khai", the calico is about 7 years old. They are both sweet, litterbox trained and used to dogs. Khai needs some dental work, which I will perform at no charge. They are otherwise healthy. They have gone outdoors in the past but I would vastly prefer that they stay inside. I would prefer to place them together but they can be separated if absolutely necessary.
If you are interested and would like to meet them, please contact me here or on my cell - (314) 374-3161. Thanks!

Hi gang! Happy Spring!
If you have stopped in recently you know that the doors are (finally) open. What a relief! We do ask that you please wear a mask while inside, because our exam rooms are too small for safe social distancing. Thanks for working with us during the ever-changing Covid landscape. We look forward to inviting you back in!
In other news, I'm taking a few days off, April 8-15. Dr Lee and the crew will be here to take care of your kids.
Take care (and gesundheit!).
Love, Dr Chip

Are you my mother? Or father?
I'm Gigi. I'm about 6 years old. I had a rough start but now I'm hanging out with a wonderful person until I find a permanent home. I like other dogs and I only p*e on the potty pads, I promise. My biggest problem is my bad knees, which Dr. Chip says need surgery and it's going to cost more than my allowance. I am very, very sweet!
If you have room in your heart for me, give Dr Chip a call!
