Halloween should be all treats and no tricks for our pets! 🎃👻

While we’re getting costumes ready and stocking up on candy, the extra doorbell rings, costumes, and sweet treats can present unexpected hazards for our furry family members.

If you suspect your pet ingested candy or something toxic this holiday, don't wait for symptoms to appear—reach out right away or contact Animal Poison Control! 🩺🧡

Have questions about microchipping or seasonal pet stress? Give us a call at (410) 643-7888! 📞✨

Crossing paths with a black cat gets a bad reputation this time of year—but we think the only "bad luck" involved is missing out on how wonderful these house panthers really are! 🖤🐈‍⬛

Centuries of folklore and Halloween superstitions have painted black cats as bad luck charms, but history (and feline science!) tells a completely different story:

🍀 Global Luck Charms: While Western superstition associated them with bad luck, cultures across Great Britain, Ireland, and Japan have long considered black cats symbols of good fortune, financial prosperity, and safe journeys.

🧬 A Genetic Superpower: The same genetic mutation that gives black cats their rich coat color also boosts their immune system, making them naturally more resistant to certain health conditions!

🖤 The Real "Bad Luck": Black cats consistently face the lowest adoption rates and longest shelter stays simply due to lingering superstitions and coat color.

It is National Vet Tech Week, and while we are celebrating our technicians, we also want to shine a massive spotlight on our incredible Veterinary Assistants! 🩺💙

Our assistants are the backbone of patient care during every exam and procedure.
From holding patient hands (and paws), prepping equipment, and assisting in treatment rooms to making sure our furry patients feel safe and loved, their hard work keeps our days running smoothly.

We are so grateful for their endless energy, compassion, and dedication to our clinic family! 🐾✨

It’s National Veterinary Technician Week… which at BAVH means it’s time to celebrate the whole crew! 🐶🐱💙 Because let’s be real — it takes a village to keep a veterinary hospital running.

This week, I wanted to take a minute to tell each of them something I appreciate about them personally. Some are newer to the team, some have been here for years, some work behind the scenes, and some are the faces you see every time you walk through our doors — but all of them matter.

Veterinary medicine can be busy, emotional, messy, exhausting, hilarious, rewarding, and everything in between. I’m incredibly grateful for the people who choose to show up every day and do this work together.

So this week, we’re celebrating all of our BAVH people. 💙🐾 You’re PAWSOME — and I hope you know how much you are appreciated! -Dr Wilds
