Bear didn’t love being alone in his cage, so Centreville LVT, Jenny, is using one of our dog carriers to keep him with her so he’s more content 😊
How adorable is he!?

🌞 Hot Days = Sleepy Pets? 😴
Don’t worry—your fur baby isn’t being lazy! 🐶💤

In the summer heat, extra naps and chill vibes are how pets stay cool.
🐾 Flopping on cold tiles
🐾 Fewer zoomies
🐾 Slower strolls

✅ Totally normal!
But if your pet isn’t eating, drinking, or seems “off”…
📞 Give us a call—it’s always better to be safe than overheated! 🩺💛

Did you know?
Cats have a special “vocabulary” just for their humans! 🐱💬

While cats rarely meow at each other, they’ve learned to meow in specific ways to communicate with us. From a soft trill to a demanding yowl — they know exactly how to get our attention. 😼❤️

Basically, if your cat talks a lot, it means they’ve trained you well. 😉

🩺 Pet Health Tip of the Day

“Watch the water bowl — it's your first clue to hydration.”

Pets should always have access to clean, fresh water — especially in summer! 🐶🐱

If you notice your pet drinking less than usual or showing signs like dry gums, sunken eyes, or lethargy, it might be dehydration — and that can get serious fast. 💧

📸 It’s National Dog Photography Day! 🐶✨

Today’s all about celebrating the pups who light up our lives—and our camera rolls! From goofy grins to nap-time snuggles, every moment is picture pawfect. 🐾💕

Here’s to the zoomies, the floppy ears, the head tilts, and the heart-melting puppy eyes that make every snapshot special. 🥰🐕

🐕‍🦺 Off-leash adventures = all the zoomies!

But before the fun begins, make sure your pup is prepped for safe play:
✅ Up-to-date on vaccines
✅ Knows reliable recall commands
✅ Wears proper ID, just in case!

Because safety comes before zoomies—and a prepared pup is a happy one! 🐾💨

Need to check your pet’s vaccine status or schedule a visit? Give us a call—we’ve got you covered!
