It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since the pandemic started. As state and local county mandates continue to be lifted, we are looking forward to resuming some sense of “normalcy”.

We just wanted to take a quick moment to let you know that we are currently working on how we will move forward when the mask mandate is lifted.

For now, we will remain curbside – wait in car during regular appointments, offer Drop Off appointments, and provide contactless payments. We are working on a hybrid system where we can partially open our doors and continue with curbside. We are hoping to do this by the end of June. Please keep an eye out for our updates.

Until then, we really appreciate your patience and understanding. It’s been a tough year, but we will continue to move forward together.

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

Stay safe, healty, and happy!

Spring Is Near!

Spring means flowers, long walks and fleas too.
It's been a long winter, but it's almost over. Visit us to make sure your furry friend is protected from fleas and ticks. These pesky critters lay dormant through the winter months, ready to return in spring.

About those Long Walks...
If you have noticed your dog slowing down or less eager to get out for a walk, it may be time to add a high-quality joint supplement to their diet. We suggest Glyde™ Mobility Chews for good reasons:
• Proven ingredients, including New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel, a powerful anti-inflammatory
• Chondroitin and Glucosamine to reduce cartilage degradation, while rebuilding
• Our dogs think it's a treat, but we know it's good for them!

While bad breath is common among pets, it's not something that should be ignored.

A foul-smelling mouth can be an early sign of gum disease, which often leads to more serious health problems ranging from tooth loss to heart disease.

Learn more about dental care for pets by watching this insightful new video. https://www.petinsurance.com/Signature-Practice/

Preventing gum disease
Regular dental checkups at your veterinarian's office are the best way to protect your pet's mouth. Specialty toys and treats can cut down on tartar and bacterial buildup between cleanings, but regular deep cleanings may be necessary to keep your pet's mouth healthy.

A pet insurance plan with coverage for cleanings and dental diseases is a great way to offset treatment costs.

Affordable peace of mind
When choosing a pet health insurance plan, remember that different companies and policies provide different levels of coverage-so be sure to choose one that's right for you and your pet.

We've found that many Downey Vet family members have been very satisfied with the service and coverage they've received from Nationwide.

Choose coverage you can count on
