✨ As the New Year approaches… ✨
We want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our extended pet-care family. We know costs seem to be rising everywhere lately—especially when it comes to pet care—and we understand how stressful that can feel.

To help lighten that burden, our prices will remain the same going into the New Year. Even as expenses increase around us, we want to absorb those changes rather than passing them on to you. Our goal is to keep care accessible, supportive, and compassionate for every pet and every family.

❤️ Thank you for trusting us. We’re grateful for you and your furry loved ones—today and always.

🚨 Flooding Update 🚨
Due to the flooding this morning, some of our staff may not be able to make it in right at 8 AM. Several roads are closed, but we’re on our way and will get in as quickly and safely as we can.

Thank you for your patience, and please stay safe out there! 💙🌧️

📌 IMPORTANT NOTICE

For these rules to apply, you must disclose your choice at the time of drop-off OR write it on the surgery paperwork indicating which option (1–4) you would like to select. Only one option may be chosen.

No exceptions can be made if this is not communicated and documented at the time of drop-off.

🎁 She’s back! And this time, Dr. Brandy is sleigh-ing the myths around food allergy testing. Dive into her newest article below! 🎄✨

Pet nutrition misinformation is everywhere. Here is what the science actually says.

🐾✨ Meet Striker! ✨🐾

Striker is a handsome boy who’s had a rough start — he was surrendered to us and likely spent much of his life in a kennel. 💔 He’s had a history of urinary issues, so he’ll need a patient and understanding family who can give him the quiet, peace, and love he deserves.

Striker can be a little wary at first and may get grumpy when he’s scared, which is why he’s currently on gabapentin to help him feel more comfortable. With time, patience, and gentle care, he will slowly warm up and show you his sweet side. 💙

He needs a home with no other cats or dogs, and he’s already neutered. Before he goes home, we’ll make sure he’s fully updated on vaccines and receives flea/dewormer treatment. 🌿✨

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion and can give him a calm, patient home, Striker could be your perfect match. 🏡🐱

Send us a message or stop by the clinic if you’d like to meet him. This boy will probably need one on one time before he goes home. 🫶🏼

✨🐾 Meet Meep! 🐾✨

This sweet little girl was brought to us for urinary issues and ultimately surrendered, and now she’s looking for her new forever home. 💕

Meep is as gentle and loving as they come — she lives for snuggles and wants nothing more than a cozy lap and a kind human to adore. She does have a history of peeing outside the litter box only when she’s dealing with a UTI, so keeping her healthy and comfy is key.

We aren’t sure yet how she feels about other cats, but we do know she’s already spayed, and before she heads home she’ll be fully updated on vaccines and receive flea/dewormer treatment. 🌿✨

If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who just wants to be loved… Meep might be your girl. 💗

Send us a message or stop into the clinic if you’d like to meet her! 🏡🐱

📢 Friendly Reminder for our SAVH Clients 📢

We want to gently remind everyone that we cannot accept drop-off samples (urine, f***l, ear swabs, etc.) without prior approval from Dr. Brandy.
If she has not specifically requested a sample, we are unable to perform testing.

Over the past few months, we’ve continued to receive multiple sample drop-offs each day from pets who have not been seen or treated for the symptoms noted. While we understand the intention, running diagnostics without a recent exam is not good medicine. To provide accurate care, we must first perform a physical exam, review history, lifestyle, symptoms, and concerns, and determine the appropriate diagnostics during that visit.

Unscheduled sample drop-offs also create a backlog, which delays testing for pets who already have appointments and truly need timely results.

✨ Please always call and ask before bringing in any samples.
Without prior approval, we will not be able to accept them.

Thank you so much for your understanding, cooperation, and support.
