Independence Day is approaching, and our office will be closed on the 4th to celebrate our country's 250th anniversary. If you have some furry friends who get a little nervous with the fireworks and may need some medication to help them feel a little less stressful, please let us know as soon as possible so we can get that ready for you. *If we haven't seen them within the past year, we will need to schedule them for an exam first.
