Who says vet visits can't be cozy?

Ryder and Yami arrived for their appointment in style, sporting their cutest pajamas! At Stream Valley, we strive to create a feline-friendly atmosphere for all of our feline friends. A stress-free visit not only eases the experience for both pets and their families, but it also enables our team to deliver top-notch care through comprehensive examinations. These two cuties proved that a little comfort goes a long way. Thanks for stopping by, Ryder and Yami!

To celebrate Feline Friendly Month at Stream Valley Vet, we've launched our Cat Carrier Exchange Program! You're invited to trade in your cat's carrier and upgrade to the Feline Friendly-approved Van Ness Cat Calm Carrier at a special price — while helping cats in need.

Sign up to join our pre-order list at your cat's next visit or call us at (703) 723-1017! Then from Monday, August 18 to Saturday, August 23, stop by SVVH to make the carrier swap. Gently used carriers will be cleaned and donated to our friends at the Homeless Animals Rescue Team (HART).

See the attached flyer for full details. Stock is currently limited, but more will be ordered. Don't delay, call today!

*Adoption Alert!*

We’re reaching out on behalf of one of our Stream Valley families who have made the very difficult decision to rehome their beloved 4-year-old dachshund, Strudel. After returning to in-person work, his family realized he is struggling with separation anxiety more than ever before and needs a home where he can receive constant companionship with another buddy or more human company.

Here's more details about Strudel from his family:

Strudel was rescued from a farm where he was often pushed around by bigger dogs, especially at mealtimes. As a result, he has a few quirks and sensitivities, but he's made great progress! He's house- and crate-trained, doesn't shed, and prefers to potty on short walks. (He'll politely let you know when he needs to go by standing at the door or hopping around to get your attention.)

Strudel is a mellow guy who loves to snuggle all day, but he still gets the zoomies and enjoys playtime. He's a big fan of chewing on toys or treats--especially firehose toys or dental chews! He is a grazer; sometimes he won't finish breakfast until dinner time. Finally, he's done well around other dogs, but any introduction would need to be made on neutral ground.

If you think your home might be the right fit, please call us at (703) 723-1017, and we will connect you with Strudel's family. Serious inquiries only, please. We are located at 42902 Waxpool Road in Ashburn, VA 20148.

Even if you can't adopt, sharing this post can help Strudel find his new home. Thank you for supporting both pets and the people who love them!

Hunter was recruited by our kennel team to make Tattle Tails for his daycare pals... but he was caught snoozing on the job within minutes! He insists he was "resting his eyes" and "channeling inspiration." His performance review? Postponed...pending more naps. 😂

At Stream Valley Doggie Daycare, pups go home with "Tattle Tails" cards sharing their daily adventures--from making friends to playtime updates, training notes, and more. We want all parents to rest assured knowing that their pets are enjoying their days of play!

Spots are available for new daycare friends, but they fill up quickly. Learn more about our facilities and what you can expect at streamvalleyvet.com/daycare. Then call us at (703) 723-1017 to sign up!

Critical Tick Update!! The Companion Animal Parasite Council's (CAPC) January to June 2025 Parasite Prevalence Maps are showing that Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis (tickborne diseases) are showing elevated or very high prevalence rates in Virginia--especially in our Northern Virginia area. This means all pets are at risk, as ticks are thriving in our region's moist, wooded environments and even in landscaped neighborhoods.

All three diseases can trigger serious symptoms like fever, joint pain, lethargy, neurologic symptoms and more. Fortunately, preventive measures are significantly easier, safer, and more cost-effective than treatment! You can protect your pet ASAP by:

- Using tick prevention year-round, with oral, topical, and collar options such as Nexgard Plus and Seresto collars.
- Check your pet daily after every outing, even if they've just spent 5 minutes in your yard--especially around the ears, belly, and paws.
- Keep grass trimmed, remove leaf litter, and create tick-free zones in your yard.
- Schedule your pet's next Lyme disease vaccination or check when they last received the vaccine
- Check PetDiseaseAlerts.org for forecast maps and stay informed

Call us at (703) 723-1017 to review your pet's parasite prevention plans. With tickborne illnesses surging in Virginia, taking action now can make all the difference. Let's work together to keep all of our four-legged companions safe, healthy, and tick-free!
