Top Tips to Prevent a 4th of July Emergency—For All Your Pets 🇺🇸 Fireworks, parties, and summer heat can be stressful—and dangerous—for pets of all kinds. 🐶🐱🐴🦎

✔️ Keep pets safely indoors or securely contained
✔️ Create a quiet, calm space away from fireworks
✔️ Avoid festive foods, alcohol, and toxic treats
✔️ Check fences, stalls, and enclosures—startled animals may bolt
✔️ Watch the heat! Provide shade, water, and cooling options

Let's keep this holiday safe and stress-free for every pet. 💙

We are delighted to announce that our esteemed cardiologist, Dr. Gianninne Nader, is expecting a baby boy in December! Dr. Nader will begin her maternity leave on December 24, 2024. During her absence, starting December 30, 2024, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Kelley Doocy, a board-certified cardiologist, who will be available Monday through Thursday to see our cardiology clients by appointment or emergency. Our emergency department will continue to handle cardiology emergencies 24/7. We are confident that Dr. Doocy will provide exceptional care during Dr. Nader's maternity leave.
