Because life outside the office is so important for our physical and mental health, Arlington Animal Hospital offers 2 paid Health & Fitness days each year in addition to regular PTO. All we request is that your day be spent outdoors hiking, participating in a run/walk/marathon, volunteering or other secular, non-political activity. Kim, our Lead Technician, spent time volunteering at the Fair this past week. What fun!

OMG, Bruce! How did we almost miss your day.

It’s , a day to show some appreciation for these scaly critters! Lizards have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, and today there are over 6,000 known species!

Thank you to all the veterinary professionals who care for our reptile friends - and pardon us while we get scientific - but be sure to check out all of Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - JAVMA's articles related to lizards: https://bit.ly/453ihnT

Here at Arlington Animal Hospital, we pride ourselves on great customer service and best medicine. We're happy to announce that we will now be carrying Sentinel Spectrum for our canine patients. This monthly chew prevents infection from heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and also prevents flea eggs from hatching.

In hospital, Sentinel Spectrum will replace Interceptor Plus. This change will save you money as Sentinel Spectrum is less expensive, has it great rebates especially when combined with Bravecto AND it covers more than the Interceptor Plus. For those still interested in using Interceptor Plus, it is available in our online store and shipped to your home.

For more information on Sentinel Spectrum, click here: https://www.sentinelpet.com/spectrum-chews/

Please let us know if you have any questions about this product change.

Last weekend we had a staff bonding camping experience at Merck Farm and Forest Center in Rupert. We stayed at Ned's Place, about a 2-mile hike in. We had a blast joking around, had a porcupine visit at 2am, listened to the owls hoot and sweat it out hiking. Jayda's and Erin's pups had fun too!
