As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

🤩Does your pet resemble a certain celebrity or character? Maybe a green one with pointy ears, that wears a robe, and eats frogs? 🙃 ​

Pets that are microchipped have significantly higher reunion rates if they get lost—so you can have more moments like these. ​

We wanted to share this fundraiser for Maggie, one of our patient pups here at First City Veterinary Hospital. ❤️

At just 6 months old, Maggie has already gone through multiple major surgeries after being diagnosed with an aggressive oral tumor, and her family is navigating some overwhelming medical costs after insurance denied coverage.

If you feel moved to help, we’ll post the GoFundMe link below. Even sharing the post is appreciated.

We’re thinking of Maggie and her family and hoping for continued healing and good news ahead. ❤️

I wish we didn't have to do this but unfortunately, our pet i… Melody Boulanger needs your support for Help us cover the cost of Maggie's life saving surgeries

It’s International Chihuahua Appreciation Day! While some may think “Chihuahuas are all the same” we know that’s not true (ok…they are all a little sassy…in the best way).

Do you have a chihuahua in your life? Which type?

🤡 Clown “I exist purely for entertainment (and mild destruction).”
👑Tiny Tyrant: “I run this house. Everyone else just lives here.”
✨Icon: “I am not a dog. I am a lifestyle.”
All of the above

Let us know!
