Southside Veterinary Clinic

11/01/2026

🎉 🐾 The time has officially come… WE'RE MOVING! 🐾 🎉

Eighteen months ago, a bulldozer showed up next door, and what seemed like a pretty big dream started becoming a reality! Fast forward through months of construction, lots of decisions, a few twists and turns, and more than a little anticipation… and we're almost ready to open the doors to our new veterinary clinic!

We couldn't be more excited to share this next chapter with all of you!

Before we get settled into our new home, here are a few important dates and reminders:

📦 MOVING DAYS: NOVEMBER 18–22
Southside Veterinary Clinic will be CLOSED Wednesday, November 18th through Sunday, November 22nd while we move into our new space.

The good news? We're only moving next door (thank goodness we don't have to go far!). The not-so-good news? Moving an entire veterinary clinic involves a LOT more than carrying a few boxes across the parking lot! There's still plenty of packing, organizing, and getting everything just right before we're ready to see patients.

🎉 OUR FIRST DAY IN THE NEW CLINIC: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd!
We can't wait to welcome you and your furry family members into our new home!

💊 A LITTLE MEDICATION REMINDER
With our moving days coming up, now is a great time to check your pets' medications. Please make sure you have enough to get through our closure! If you need refills, give us a call sooner rather than later so we can get everything ready before moving day. We'd hate for anyone to run out while we're busy unpacking!

🦃 THANKSGIVING HOURS
Just a reminder that we will also be CLOSED Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th for Thanksgiving. Please plan ahead for any medication refills or other pet care needs before the holiday.

❤️ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY… THANK YOU!
A project like this doesn't happen overnight, and it certainly doesn't happen without a lot of help along the way.

To our amazing Southside team, our wonderful clients, families, friends, and community — THANK YOU for your patience, encouragement, flexibility, and support throughout this whole process. Whether you've been cheering us on, putting up with construction next door, or simply continuing to trust us with the care of your pets, we appreciate you more than you know!

We've put a lot of love (and probably a few gray hairs!) into making this dream a reality, and we can't wait for you to see it.

The building may be new, but the people, the heart, and the care you know and love aren't changing. Our mission is still the same: We want your pets to live longer, happier, healthier lives!
We can't wait to welcome you to our new home.

Here's to a new chapter for Southside Veterinary Clinic! ❤️🐾

With gratitude,
Your Southside Veterinary Clinic Team

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A raccoon tested positive for rabies in the town of Delhi. This is the fourth laboratory confirmed positive case of rabies in Delaware County in 2026.
A rabid raccoon exposed two dogs in the town of Delhi. The raccoon was sent for testing to the New York State Department of Health Wadsworth Laboratory. Both dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccinations and received a booster. There was one human exposure and this individual began Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). Delaware County’s next free rabies vaccination clinic is on October 5th from 5:30PM to 7:30PM at the Deposit Highway Garage, 192 Front St, Deposit, NY 13754.
Once infected, rabies is a virus that has 100% fatality rate when left untreated, in mammals including humans. Public Health recommends the following precautions to protect yourself and your family from possible exposure to rabies:
• Report any sick or strange acting wildlife
• Vaccinate pets and livestock. New York State law requires that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age. Vaccinating your domestic animal not only provides protection for the animal, but vaccinated pets act as a barrier to keep the rabies virus from spreading between wild animals and people.
• Vaccination is also recommended for livestock with frequent human contact.
• Do not feed wildlife or stray animals and discourage them from seeking food near your home.
• Do not feed strays. According to Public Health Law an owner is defined as any person keeping, harboring, or having charge or control of or permitting any dog, cat or domesticated ferret to remain on or be lodged or fed within such person’s house yard or premises.
• Do not approach an unknown animal, either wild or domestic, especially if it is acting in a strange or unusual manner.
• Report all animal bites and any contact with bats to the Health Department in your county. Human rabies can be prevented after exposure by administering a series of shots.
• Keep garbage cans tightly covered and avoid storing any food outside.
• Children should be instructed to tell an adult immediately if they were bitten or scratched by any animal.
• If a pet not up to date on its rabies vaccinations comes in contact with rabid or suspected rabid animal the pet must be quarantined for six months.
• Vaccinated pets that come in contact with rabid or suspected rabies animal must be given a booster rabies vaccination within five days of the contact.
Exposure to rabies can be fatal for a human or a pet. Be sure your dogs, cats and ferrets are up to date on their rabies vaccinations. Vaccinated pets serve as a buffer between rabid wildlife and man. Protect them, and you may reduce your risk of exposure to rabies.
Public Health recommends that pet owners take advantage of any of the free remaining rabies clinics for dogs, cats and ferrets in Delaware County. Pre-registration is suggested for all clinics. You can pre-register at http://health.ny.gov/go2clinic
To report a suspected rabid animal call Delaware County Public Health Services at 607-832-5200. For more information call 607-832-5200 or visit our website at www.delawarecountypublichealth.com
