It’s , and we have some "honk-tastic" new helpers at the front desk! 🪿✨

Meet our new clinic mascots! These geese have officially joined the Animal Clinic of Rockbridge team, and they are currently hard at work helping us book Laser Therapy appointments for the remainder of May.

🔦 Why the geese are "honking" about Laser Therapy:
Whether it’s for Arthritis Awareness Month or helping an itchy pet find relief during Allergy Awareness Month, Cold Laser Therapy is one of our favorite ways to:

Reduce Inflammation (angry skin or stiff joints).
Relieve Pain (without extra needles or pills).
Speed Up Healing (getting those tails wagging faster!).

Our mascots are ready to help you get on the schedule!
Message us via the PetPage app (the geese's favorite way to communicate! 📱).
Give us a call to chat about how laser therapy can help your pet move better and itch less.

And let us know what you think of their names in the comments!👇🪿

Rainy days might be here in Lexington, but we’re dreaming of Sunny Days! 🌧️➡️☀️

While we wait for the clouds to clear, our lobby chalkboard has us thinking: If your dog or cat could plan the PURRFECT summer day, what would it look like?

Would it be:
🍦 A trip for a pup-cup and a walk on the Chessie Trail?
🎾 An endless game of fetch in the backyard?
💤 A dedicated 8-hour nap in the best sunbeam in the house?

Tell us your pet's "Dream Day" plans in the comments below! It’s the perfect way to brighten up a rainy afternoon. 👇🐶🐱

It’s , and with Memorial Day just around the corner, many of our members are finalizing their travel plans! 🚗✈️⛰️

Whether you’re taking your pet with you or checking them into a "pet hotel" while you're away, staying up to date on health requirements is the first step to a stress-free holiday.
THE QUESTION: To keep all our furry guests safe and healthy, what are the four vaccines required for boarding (both at our clinic and most reputable facilities)?..
🏖️🛏🌤
🏨🌴👙
💉🐶😻..
THE ANSWER: To board, your dog needs to be current on Rabies, Distemper (DHPP), K9Flu, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough).
Why do we require the "Big Four"?

🛡️Rabies: Not just a clinic rule—it's the law! This protects both pets and the humans who care for them from a 100% fatal disease.
🤒Distemper (DHPP): This "all-in-one" shot protects against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These are highly contagious and can live on surfaces for a long time.
🛡️Canine Influenza (k9Flu): Just like the human flu, this spreads through respiratory droplets. In a boarding environment where dogs are in close proximity, this vaccine is vital to prevent "social" outbreaks.
🤒Bordetella: This is the primary defense against "Kennel Cough." Think of it like a shield for your dog’s respiratory system while they're around their new friends.

To all the pet moms, foster moms, and those who find comfort in their furry companions: Thank you for all the love you pour into your pets. It’s an honor to be part of your care team here at the Animal Clinic of Rockbridge.

For Arthritis and Allergy Awareness Month, we’re focusing on how Fear Free techniques help pets who don't feel 100%. 🩺✨

When a pet is in pain (from stiff joints) or feels "on edge" (from itchy skin), they can be more sensitive to touch.

Just a few ways we make exams Fear Free:
🛏Extra Padding: We have soft mats and blankets available so arthritic joints can stay comfy during exams.
🧘‍♂️Gentle Handling: We avoid irritating itchy or sore areas when at all possible, moving at your pet’s pace.
🦴Distraction Power: We use high-value treats to keep their minds off any possible discomfort!

A healthy pet is a happy pet, and sometimes getting them from one to the other is uncomfy. Give us a shout to chat about all the we employ to make sure your pet has the most positive experience with us possible!

Did you know our Cold Laser Therapy is a double-threat against both arthritis and allergies?
What better time to try than Arthritis Awareness Month AND Asthma/Allergy Awareness Month! 🌸🦴

🐕🐾For Arthritis: The laser reduces deep joint inflammation and eases chronic pain, helping senior pets move like puppies and play like kittens again.
🔦✨For Allergies: It "calms" the angry, red skin caused by spring allergies and speeds up the healing of itchy "hot spots."

Happy and Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽🎉

While we’re celebrating with tacos and festivities, let’s test your knowledge on one of the most famous dog breeds to come out of Mexico!

THE QUESTION: The Chihuahua is named after a state in Mexico, but according to DNA, which ancient civilization is believed to have first bred their ancestors (the Techichi)?
A) The Aztecs
B) The Mayans
C) The Toltecs
D) The Olmecs..
🌮🌮🌮
🐶🐶🐶
🌮🌮🌮..
THE ANSWER: C) The Toltecs! 🏆 They believed these little dogs were spirit guides.

⚠️ Quick Safety Tip: Keep the guacamole and onions away from your "Techichis" today—onions and garlic are toxic to pets! 🥑🚫

Happy !✨
Besides the obvious fashion benefits...👠😎
Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that can help your pet recover faster from injuries, reduce inflammation, and manage pain.

🐾 It's a safe and effective option for many conditions, including arthritis, post-surgery recovery, and soft tissue injuries. 🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛
