Good Morning friends!
For those of you not following the story one of the larger national pet microchip companies "Save this Life" has been getting traction in the news for closing its doors. My Pet Animal Hospital was not notified of this until this morning when the news broke locally on channel 8.
This microchip company is the one that we have been using for the last few years, so we do urge owners to check your paperwork and/or call the office to verify. If your pet's microchip is involved, you will need to re-register them with a different database.
We recommend going online to freepetchipregistry.com
Please let the office know if you have further questions!

We’ve had a busy few weeks- and a lot of adorable new puppies joining the crew. And is there anything better then puppy kisses? We sure don’t think so! 🐶🐾

This is not an easy post to write. In fact, it’s one of the hardest. There comes a moment in the lives of every pet parent, where it is time to let go. Sometimes our fur babies pass away quietly in their sleep, but most often we are called upon to make the decision on their behalf- the decision to end the discomfort, and pain of illness, or advancing age.
Through a twist of fate many years ago, we inherited an unexpected family member in the form of one very mischievous Bengal cat.
He moved in with the confidence with which he did everything, and spent the last twenty three years living his life to the fullest.
He was more than a handful in his younger days, but mellowed as time went on.
He has graced us with laughter, exasperation, and many a peed-upon item. Some peed beyond saving. The last few months due to COVID, he has been living in my home, and taken it over with his usual style, charming his way into my family’s affections as he did everyone who met him. Even the die hard dog people loved our Simba.
Over the last week, his age caught up to him, and he went steadily downhill despite our best efforts. This morning we said good-bye.
He will beloved and missed by his My Pet family, and by the community of East Lake/Palm Harbor that knew him well.
We thank everyone who has shown him love over the years. Rest In Peace Old Man.

Until further notice, business hours will be from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. We are doing everything we can to protect our customers, and staff, and remain open to serve you and your pets. We will be open and seeing patients during those hours and by appointment only. We ask that if you are picking up food or medications you call ahead and pay in advance in order to lessen the amount of people in the lobby at one time.
If possible we would ask that you please share this with your friends and family on Facebook, to help keep our clients updated. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello All-
For the foreseeable future we are asking if clients need to pick up medications or food that you please call ahead. We will process credit cards over the phone as much as possible and have your supplies ready when you pull up. Thank you for your patience!
