🌊🐾 Today we celebrate World Oceans Day! 🐾🌊

Living and working in the beautiful Florida Keys reminds us every day just how special our oceans are. From vibrant coral reefs and crystal-clear waters to the incredible marine life that calls our island home, our oceans play a vital role in the health of our community.

Today, we celebrate the wonders of the sea and encourage everyone to do their part to help protect it—whether that's picking up litter, reducing single-use plastics, or simply enjoying our waterways responsibly.

As pet lovers, we know that caring for our environment helps protect all creatures, both on land and beneath the waves. 💙🐠🐢

How are you celebrating World Oceans Day in the Keys?

Bougie received a clean bill of health (and enjoyed ALOT of cheese) at her very first vet visit! 🐾🧀✨

Puppy visits are an important part of setting our newest family members up for a happy, healthy life. Preventive care helps us monitor growth, start vaccinations, discuss nutrition, and catch potential health concerns early — all while helping puppies build positive experiences at the vet. 💕

We loved meeting this sweet girl and can’t wait to watch her grow! 🐶💛

As we head into a weekend filled with sunshine, boat days, BBQs, and salty air, we’re wishing you and your furry family members a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! 🐾☀️

Whether your pets are joining you on the boat, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying extra treats at home, remember to keep them cool, hydrated, and safe during all the holiday fun. ❤️🤍💙

In honor of Memorial Day, our hospital will be closed on Monday as we take time to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday 5/26. If your pet experiences an emergency while we are closed, please contact Thrive Miami Pet Healthcare Specialists - Miami 305-666-4142 or Keys Animal ER 305-872-2559

Have a safe and paws-itively amazing holiday weekend in the beautiful Florida Keys! 🐶🌊🐱

Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month💚

This month — and every month — we want to recognize the importance of caring for not only our pets, but also ourselves and one another.

Veterinary medicine is built on compassion, connection, and the incredible human-animal bond. The comfort of a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or simply being present with our pets can make a powerful difference during difficult days.

We are incredibly grateful for our team, whose dedication and kindness support both our patients and one another every day. Prioritizing mental wellbeing matters — in our hospital, at home, and throughout our community.

Take time to check in on the people around you, lean into the comfort our pets provide, and remember that small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact. 🐾

🐰 Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV2) Awareness 🐰

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV2) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting rabbits. According to the USDA, the disease has a mortality rate of 50–100% in infected rabbits.

The good news: this virus does NOT infect humans, dogs, cats, or other animals.

⚠️ Signs of RHDV2 may include:
• Sudden death
• Nosebleeds
• Convulsions
• Difficulty breathing

Recent studies published in the Viruses Journal confirmed cases in 29 U.S. states and 2 Canadian territories.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for RHDV2, but it CAN be prevented through vaccination.

💉 Vaccine protocol:
• Initial vaccine
• Booster 3 weeks later
• Annual vaccination thereafter

Protect your bunny and give us a call today to schedule their vaccine appointment!
