Happy New Year to all our furry friends and their families!! We have been receiving a few concerned calls about the rumors brewing about Purina Pro Plan and their foods. We have reached out to our rep who has confirmed with us that there is NOT any recall happening for their foods at this time. They have assured us that they are constantly doing quality checks on their products as well as additional research when these rumors are circulating. Here is the message we received from our rep.

January 5, 2024

Please beware of online rumors claiming there are issues with Purina products – these false statements may be creating unnecessary stress for pet parents. There are no health or safety issues with any of our products, and they can continue to be fed with confidence.

At Purina, we take pride in feeding 46 million dogs and 68 million cats every year. The quality, safety and nutrition of our products is our highest priority, and we take feedback from concerned pet owners and veterinarians very seriously. Our Quality Assurance team leads more than 100,000 quality checks EVERY DAY across our factory network with the goal of ensuring our products are safe at every stage of the process – from when our ingredients arrive at our factories to when we ship our final food and treats out to retailers and consumers. Our comprehensive program ensures the foods you feed your pets, and that we feed our own, are safe.

The health and safety of pets – yours and our own – will never be compromised.

If you read something online that concerns you, or you have any questions about your pet food, please feel free to reach out to our team. We also recommend researching the source of these posts. Some are well-intentioned pet parents who are genuinely concerned and trying to be helpful, while others may be trying to create chaos and distrust of certain brands as an opportunity to sell their own products. Either way, please know that if there is a confirmed issue with any Purina product, we will be sharing that information with our consumers first.

Due to an unfortunate increase of no show/no call appointments, we will now be charging a $50 no show fee to those who do not notify our office of needing to either cancel or reschedule a set appointment. In addition to the charge, those who no call/no show will also need to give a $50 deposit for all future scheduled appointments. Again, this new policy is only for those who do NOT call to cancel or reschedule their already set appointments. New clients will also be required to put a $50 deposit for their first appointment only. We as always appreciate your support and understanding.

With the upcoming holiday, we want to make sure all our patients are prepared for all that comes with the festivities! Please double check your supply of calming meds if needed for your fur baby. Our office will be closed on Tuesday July 4 and will reopen on Wednesday July 5. While we are all enjoying bbqs & fireworks, our furry friends don't enjoy them in the same way. Make sure to keep your fur babies indoors while fireworks are happening & try not to share your delicious treats with them as they can cause pancreatitis very easily. Should you run into any emergencies with your pets, as always we suggest going to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital Tinton Falls , Garden State Veterinary Services in Iselin, or NorthStar VETS - Robbinsville . We hope everyone has a fun & safe holiday!!

**We are trying to help a kitty foster find his forever home. If interested please reach out via the link below for the foster's instagram and not to us directly. We are just trying to help spread the word. Here is a little tidbit from his foster momma!**

Say hi to this 8 month old kitten i’m affectionately calling “the baby”. he was abandoned with 2 other cats by previous owners, and despite his hardships he craves nothing more than playtime, prancing around and snuggling up to you when you least expect it. DM me if you are interested in learning more about his adoption!
https://instagram.com/meowmeowmagik?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

up to date on shots, bloodwork, testing 100% clean bill of health! microchipped, neutered, litter box trained.

he’s high energy and super sweet once he trusts you - doesn’t take much more than treats :)

The baby may do best in a home as a single cat or possibly with dogs OR with someone experienced in introducing new cats to a resident cat.

if you’re looking for a little black cat with a lot of purrsonality he’s your guy :)
