Life is just better with pets. 🐾❤️

They’re there for the best days, the hard days, the lazy Sundays, and every moment in between. They make us laugh, comfort us without saying a word, and somehow turn a house into a home.

At Verandah Pet Hospital, we know they’re not just pets—they’re family. And we’re here to help keep them happy, healthy, and by your side for as many years as possible. 🐶🐱💕

Because life is better with them in it. 🐾

🚨 Important Health Alert for South Florida Cat Owners 🚨

Veterinarians across South Florida are warning pet parents about a concerning shift in Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV)—often referred to as feline parvovirus.

Historically, FPV has primarily posed a severe risk to young kittens. However, local veterinary clinics and shelters are seeing a rise in adult cats becoming seriously ill from aggressive strains of this virus.

🔍 What You Need to Know:
How It Spreads: FPV is highly contagious and spreads through contact with infected f***s, vomit, or contaminated surfaces (including shoes, bedding, and grass). The virus is tough and can survive in the environment for months.

Symptoms to Watch For: Rapid onset of severe lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or sudden fever.

Who Is at Risk: Unvaccinated or under-vaccinated cats of all ages, including adult indoor cats that may come into contact with tracking outdoor contaminants. (Note: FPV only affects cats and does not spread to dogs or humans.)

🛡️ How to Protect Your Cat:
Check Vaccination Records: The core FVRCP vaccine is extraordinarily effective at preventing severe illness and death. Ensure your adult cats are completely up to date on their boosters.

Practice Good Hygiene: Standard hand sanitizers and basic cleaners do not kill FPV. Wash hands thoroughly and sanitize shared spaces properly.

Isolate & Act Fast: If you notice sudden gastrointestinal symptoms or extreme lethargy in your cat, isolate them from other pets immediately and give us a call.

Early supportive care saves lives! If you're unsure whether your cat is protected or up to date on their FVRCP vaccine, reach out to our team today to schedule an appointment. 📱🐾

Veterinarians in South Florida are urging cat owners to watch for symptoms as a stronger feline virus is making adult cats seriously ill and causing deaths in some cases.

🐾 BOOP-WORTHY & VET APPROVED 🐾

That nose may be adorable, but it’s also pretty amazing. 👃🐶 A dog’s nose can tell them who’s been there, what they ate, where they went…and probably whether we have treats hiding behind the front desk. 😂

At Verandah Pet Hospital, we’re here to keep everything from the tip of that boopable nose to the end of that wagging tail healthy and happy. ❤️

And yes…we absolutely give free nose boops. 😉
