Just so you can see what your state (and thus your benefits) loses if that “big beautiful bill” is passed.

Yes, the bird flu has hit our area with hundreds of snow geese that dropped dead near Allentown. Your dogs and cats can get this. Read info below and get informed.

If a veterinary office does not take you because you do not have records, I personally would question their ethics.
Basically, you are a new client whether you are local or visiting from another state.
We never questioned nor turned someone away due to lack of records.
That's a behind the scenes catch-up in any respectable office.
Life happens.

A veterinarian & your personal medical doctor are basically the same.
We, as humans, have hairless newbies requiring a pediatrician. For the most part, we have "fur babies" which require veterinarians. Neither communicate.
Us parents, regardless of species, still play the guessing game when visiting the doctor. Sometimes, that goes for us as adults seeing the doctors.
Veterinarians need to understand a multitude of physiologies. A human doctor, only 1.

I've changed doctors/networks, traveled out of the USA, my med records were not always available.
Change was never an issue nor records.

If a veterinary office demands previous records or no treatment, I'd certainly ask why or find a different office.
We've multiple pets that travel with us over the years through the 48's and have flown multiple times.
They have gone to various veterinary hospital/clinics besides ours throughout our travels.
I've never heard of this at all!
Even if vaccinations were in question.

Only the airlines question vaccines requirements & perhaps health certificates.
1st and foremost is the health of the pet regardless of where.

Dear Valued Clients and Friends,

After nearly 40 years of dedicated service, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement and the closing of Pocono Lake Animal Hospital, effective immediately. This decision has not been easy, as the hospital and the countless pets we’ve cared for over the years have been a central part of my life.

Since opening the doors in 1985, I have had the privilege of serving this wonderful community, meeting extraordinary pet owners, and providing care for countless beloved animals. The relationships formed and the trust you’ve placed in me and my team have been the greatest reward. It has been an honor to share in the joys and challenges of your pets' lives and to contribute to their well-being.

As I move into this next chapter of life, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your loyalty and support throughout the years. Your commitment to the health and happiness of your pets has inspired me daily, and I am grateful for the many memories we’ve created together.

In preparation for the transition, I will be happy to provide your pets’ medical records or help facilitate referrals to other veterinary practices in the area.

Thank you once again for your trust, your friendship, and for making these nearly 40 years so fulfilling. I wish you and your pets health, happiness, and love in the years to come.

If you have any questions, need assistance, or need a copy of your records, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email at [email protected]

Warmest regards,
Dr. F. Thomas Miller
Pocono Lake Animal Hospital
