November is Pet Diabetes Month.

Diabetes is manageable, and catching it early makes all the difference. Signs to watch for include drinking more water than usual, more frequent urination, increased appetite with weight loss, and low energy.

If any of that sounds familiar, a simple visit can help us figure out what is going on. Call (845) 565-0804.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and older pets have so much love left to give.

Senior pets are often already house-trained, past the chewing stage, and happy to spend the day right beside you. They tend to wait longer for a home, which makes finding them one even more rewarding.

Thinking about adopting? Tell us in the comments what made you fall for your pet.

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection makes a real difference.

You know your pet best. New lumps or bumps, sores that will not heal, changes in appetite or energy, or unexplained weight loss are all worth a call. Many of these turn out to be nothing, but it is always better to check.

Noticed something? Reach out at (845) 565-0804.

The temperature is starting to drop, and your pet feels it too.

A few things to keep in mind as it gets colder: short-haired and small dogs may want a sweater on walks, paws can get irritated by salt and ice melt, and antifreeze is extremely dangerous, so wipe up any garage spills right away.

If your pet seems stiff or slow in the cold, let us take a look. Call (845) 565-0804.

Happy Halloween from all of us.

If your pet gets nervous with the doorbell and the costumes, set them up with a quiet room away from the front door and make sure their ID tags are current before the evening gets busy. A little calm goes a long way tonight.

Now for the fun part. Show us your pet's costume in the comments. We have been waiting all month for this!

It is National Cat Day.

Whether yours greets you at the door or judges you quietly from the top of the bookshelf, today is for celebrating the cats who share our homes and our hearts.

We are always happy to see a good cat photo, so drop yours in the comments.

Halloween is one of the easiest nights for a pet to slip out.

If your pet has fear, anxiety, or stress give us a call, we may be able to help.

The door opens again and again, costumes look strange to them, and even a calm pet can panic and bolt. A microchip with current contact information and possible medication are two of the best ways to make sure a lost pet finds their way back to you.
Not sure if yours is registered or up to date? We can scan and check for you.

With the candy bowl filling up, a quick reminder for pet families.

Chocolate, xylitol, and raisins are all dangerous for pets, and candy wrappers can cause problems of their own. Keep the stash somewhere your pet cannot reach, and remind the kids to do the same.

If your pet gets into something they should not, call us right away at (845) 565-0804.

It is National Veterinary Technician Week and our techs are the heart of this place.

They comfort nervous patients, monitor anesthesia, are your lab-work technicians, surgical nurses, dental hygienists, and somehow still find a way to make everyone feel cared for, pets and people alike. We would be lost without them.

Have a tech here who has taken great care of your pet? Name them in the comments so we can pass it along.
