Happy Halloween from all of us to you!! 👻🎃

🧚 Assistant Emily (aka the “fluid fairy” far left in our photo) brought the festive cheer to everyone yesterday and kept everyone in the spooky Halloween spirit!

🥸 Dr. Perkins and Dr. Esplins’ pets have already gotten in their Halloween costumes. Tag us or comment yours, we cannot wait to see all of our adorable patients!

🩺 We try to empower and show our team gratitude year-round for their hard work but we think they deserve an extra shout-out on this National Veterinary Professional Appreciation Week for how integral they are in the care for our patients and clients! 🐱

🚨An example is how engaged they all are in our yearly CPR class we held for the team on Tuesday this week - thank you to Metropolitan Veterinary Associates for your detailed training and care as always! Emergency and Critical care protocols change frequently as medicine advances, and every second counts in preparation to help save pets in the event of an emergency. 🚑

A few additional fun points about each team member are below (in order of pictures above) 🤗
- Melissa (Veterinary Technician) - She has been with us since our first year open in 2023. She is the first one to dive into a game plan to help make every nervous/fearful dog or cat as safe and comfortable as possible. You will also see her taking extra time to teach other team members around her!
- Danielle (Veterinary Technician) - Her 2 year anniversary with us is coming up in about one month, how time flies! Danielle brings decades of experience and dedication to her detailed work every time she walks through the door. She is our lab and DEA queen, two tasks that are quite intricate!
- Michelle (Office Manager and Veterinary Technician) - Michelle has been a go-getter from her first day with us. She trained very quickly and is always eager to go above and beyond every task asked. Her attention to detail is paramount in patient care and safety every day!
- Brett (Certified Veterinary Technician) - Brett is our most recent addition, starting about 3 months ago, but wow did she fit in immediately, it’s felt like she has been with us much longer! She took the effort to effectively grasp patient care protocols and her detailed bedside manner for in-patient care certainly was quickly noticed.
- Emily M (Veterinary Assistant and Client Service Liaison) - Emily is our queen of fun and morale! She helps come up with fun team activities and makes the beautiful wreaths on our front doors you always see. She is often who you hear on the other end of the phone and a help to the other team members for all varieties of tasks.
- Emily P (Client Service Liaison) - Emily brings her years of detailed management and high end customer service to our reception team. She is the most timely member of the entire team, incredibly organized, and always is problem-solving to help best serve our patients and clients!
- Julia (Veterinary Assistant and Client Service Liaison) - Julia just joined the veterinary field with us a little over a year ago and you would never know it! She comes from the hospitality industry and quickly took her high-service practices and fast paced mindset to train into a wonderful assistant, so much so she now trains others in protocols!
- Sharon (Veterinary Assistant and Client Service Liaison) - Sharon is our calming spirit to our days - she is compassionate and takes her time to focus her full attention on each client or patient in front of her. Her decades of experience in a variety of positions in the field (including a humane officer) give her a unique perspective to help in many varieties of situations!

💙 Our Technicians and Assistants are the first ones you see or hear when you have a concern about your pet and the detailed hands-on care behind every medical decision by Drs. Perkins and Esplin to help your pet be in its best health. We are very thankful for them all! 🐾

🌻🎃 The CBVH team had a great team outing today at Hellerick’s Farm - filled with farm animals, a corn maze, farm activities for the kids, mini-golf, flower fields, and a farm store for great shopping! 🍂🍁

🔬📈 The neat part about technology today is that you can quickly run data on most topics you want to find out. However, the data we found as we ran this was quite concerning for tick borne disease rates in our area! While it is better than many other regions in Pennsylvania, it is alarming to see that, in our community pet population, 1 in 7 dogs on average (1 in 6 mature adults > 4 years of age) have a positive result for one of the three common tick borne diseases (Anaplasma, Lyme, Ehrlichia) per test run. That is far too many!

🍁🍂 As we enter into the fall and winter seasons, this is especially important to remember as these tick borne diseases have now become adapted to the colder temperatures, actually excreting anti-freeze to their tick hosts to be able to survive the cold temperatures to have a better chance to spread disease. Talk about survival of the fittest and darwinism evolution! Did you know that ticks are also not like bee or insects? Instead of hibernating, they actually can return to normal daily activities as soon as temperatures rise above freezing (and even lower temperatures if they are carrying a tick borne disease) within hours. For this reason, we unfortunately see tick borne diseases many times during the winter months and this is why it is so important to now continue tick prevention year round. As ticks have evolved and developed resistance to the previously commonly used topicals, the oral pharmaceutical preventatives are the most effective.

🩸🐾 If tick borne diseases are caught too late, the disease can leave lasting damage. Many tick borne infections cause chronic auto-immune, kidney, and joint disease. This is why we always recommend yearly screening to catch infection before secondary damage starts and better treatment success. If you happen to find an attached tick on your pet or yourself, the best and quickest way to act is to save it and send it in to the local lab via the directions on www.ticklab.org. This is a free service by Pennsylvania that analyzes the submitted tick to see if it is carrying any disease and will send you a report to notify your or your pet's provider for prompt action to minimize infection risk.

📚🧑‍🏫 Remember the other week Julia and Emily attended the PVMA’s veterinary conference? Well they each presented a topic of what they learned and were passionate about to our team upon their return so we could all learn! Julia presented on intervertebral disc disease (“slipped”/“herniated” discs) and practical diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and Emily presented on dermatitis, causes, and novel treatment approaches. Great job ladies!

On this day each year, we remember and thank all of the brave men, women, and service animals, both in uniform and not, that were heroes to so many and the many souls that were lost. 25 years sounds so long ago, but seems like yesterday to us most. Our hearts and prayers are with every family and friend who knows someone affected by this day.

✨ These past two weeks we celebrated two anniversaries! Happy work anniversary to our wonderful CSR and assistants, Emily and Sharon. These are the smiling faces you most often see when coming into the practice or helping get your questions answered for any call, text, email, online request, you name it, they are on it! Thank you for all you do ladies 🐾

🍼👶 There was a different type of “labor” this holiday weekend for the Perkins. Dr. Esplin gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Friday afternoon! During her recovery, Dr. Perkins is picking up her shifts as well a select few local veterinarians to our area that have been hired. Our weekday hours will all remain the same, but to allow Dr. Perkins time with his family, we are pausing our Saturday hours until December.

We are closed today for our entire team to celebrate Labor Day weekend as planned, and will be open at normal hours tomorrow. If your pet is having a medical emergency before then, please visit our website at https://www.centralbucksvets.com/contact-us/emergency-and-after-hours/

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday weekend! 🌻☀️

🎉 August each year we reflect and celebrate our opening in August of 2023 (pictured here). The past 3 years have gone by in the blink of an eye, but simultaneously feel much longer (perhaps maybe because we were a part of the community for much longer than that!). Thank you to our wonderful team, patients, and clients for the chance to serve our community pets the past three years, we look forward to many, many, many more ☺️

🇺🇸Happy Independence Day! We hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend celebrating our beautiful country!
