The 4th of July is the biggest lost pet day of the year in the US. Animal shelters and control agencies nationwide report a (30% to 60%) spike in lost pets over the holiday weekend.
Because fireworks trigger a natural fear and panic response in animals, July 5th is typically the single busiest intake day of the year for stray pets at shelters across the country. The combination of loud booms, flashing lights, and frequent open doors during summer gatherings causes many dogs and cats to flee and become disoriented.

Summer Tick Alert for Dog Owners! ☀️
As temperatures rise, so does tick activity. These tiny parasites are more than just a nuisance—they can transmit serious diseases to your dog, including Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
🕷️ How to Protect Your Dog This Summer:
✅ Keep your dog on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventive year-round.
✅ Check your dog for ticks after walks, hikes, and outdoor playtime.
✅ Pay close attention to ears, neck, underarms, between toes, and around the tail.
✅ Keep grass and brush trimmed around your home.
✅ Remove ticks promptly and properly if you find one.
⚠️ Watch for Signs of Tick-Borne Disease:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Limping or joint pain
• Swollen lymph nodes
If you notice any of these symptoms or find a tick on your pet, give us a call. Early detection and prevention are the best ways to keep your furry family members healthy all summer long!
🐶 Enjoy the sunshine, but don't forget to stay tick-aware!

This is about more than just horses or cows. Screwworms can affect any warm-blooded animal, including livestock, pets, wildlife, and even humans. The larvae (maggots) are flesh-eating parasites that feed on living tissue, making them dangerous and often fatal if left untreated.

In response to the recent confirmation from the USDA of the presence of New World Screwworm in the United States, the AAEP has published New World Screwworm Infestation (Disease) Guidelines.

Last (but definitely not least) of our furry work team: Skor & Rollo

Dr. Holland’s standard poodle, Skor, and toy poodle, Rollo, are every bit as sweet as the confections they’re named after.

These two are almost always seen side by side, like Skor and his tiny mini-me. Though there’s quite a size difference between them, their bond is unmistakable.

Skor carries himself with gentle charm and quiet sweetness, while little Rollo happily keeps pace beside him, adding a little extra bounce and personality wherever he goes! 🐩

Together, they bring smiles to everyone they meet and are a wonderful reminder that the best things often come in pairs.

Meet Our Work Partner: Shadow

Shadow is Dr. Holland’s beautiful black-and-white Australian Shepherd and one of her daily commuting companions.

Quiet, loyal, and incredibly loving, Shadow has a gentle presence that brings comfort not only to Dr. Holland, but to our entire staff as well. She may be a little shy at first, but if you ever get the chance to earn her trust and sneak in a few pets, you’ll quickly understand how she earned the nickname “Plushy Pants”

With her plush, soft coat and sweet soul, Shadow has a way of making even busy clinic days feel a little calmer.

We adore our Shadow Plushy Pants! ❤️

Roxie, Dr. Holland's Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, wasn’t too pleased about modeling the new hot dog costume today. Naturally our team stepped in with moral support, reassurance, and a little quality floor time. The emotional support goes both ways around here. 🌭🐶

Meet Cozette & Stevie - Our Pocket-Sized Rays of Sunshine. 🌞

These two adorable toy poodles often tag along with our technician, bringing a little extra joy wherever they go. They’ve turned more than a few hearts into poodle fans.

Cozette, the petite black poodle, is the picture of a little lady, graceful, refined, and always prancing with effortless elegance.

Stephen, the fluffy white poodle, is quite the opposite, bursting with energy and enthusiasm, like a tiny, joyful jumping bean.

They may be complete opposites, but together they make the perfect pair.

If you see these two around the clinic, don’t miss the chance to say hello, they’re guaranteed to brighten your day too!

Meet Our Parakeet Committee🐦

These lovely ladies reside in various spots around the clinic… and they are not shy about making their presence known.

In the exam rooms, they often try their best to over talk Dr. Holland…which usually earns them a one-way ticket to the front desk, where they then attempt to over talk the receptionist instead.😄
These beautiful girls were lovingly relinquished to our care when their owner could no longer meet their needs, and we’re so happy to have them as part of our clinic family.

They bring so much joy to our days with their cheerful chirp-peeps, even if they get a little loud from time to time. Most of our clients (and their pets!) seem to enjoy the extra entertainment while waiting!

If you find yourself in an exam room with our gossip girls and they get a bit too chatty, please let us know! We promise we won’t be offended and are always happy to move them for your comfort. 😉
