PVH had an amazing race at the 13th Annual Gulliver’s Run this weekend at Gifford Pinchot State Park! 🧡🐾

Our incredible team took 1st place in Team Participation and proudly earned the Gulliver’s Challenge Award for the largest team contribution - an honor we also won during the very first two Gulliver’s Runs!

We’re so proud of everyone who came out to support canine cancer research and represent Team Patton Vet. A huge shoutout to our medal winners:
🥇 Dr. Kevin – 1st place walker
🥇 Celina – 1st place runner
🥇 Kelsey & Ryan – 1st place walkers
🥇 April & her daughters – 1st place walkers

It was a fantastic and fun day with a fabulous team - and we couldn’t be prouder to support such a meaningful cause! 🐶💛

Today, we celebrate Día de los Mu***os, a beautiful Mexican tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed - including the pets who continue to live on in our hearts. 🐾💛

Families often build ofrendas (altars) adorned with candles, marigolds, photos, and favorite treats to welcome their loved ones’ spirits home. For those of us who share our hearts with animals, this can mean adding a beloved pet’s picture, toy, or treat - a special way to honor the joy and companionship they brought into our lives. 🌈🐕🐈

At PVH, we understand that our pets are more than just companions - they are family. 💕
Today, we remember all the pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge and invite you to join us in creating a virtual ofrenda by sharing a photo or memory of your beloved pets in the comments below. Let’s celebrate their lives, their love, and the paw prints they left behind. ✨

🎃🐾 All treats, no tricks here at Patton Vet! 🐶🐱
We’re wishing you and your pets a safe and fang-tastic Halloween! 👻🦇

Before the trick-or-treaters arrive, don’t forget these quick pet safety tips:
🕸️ Keep chewable décor (like wires or garland) out of reach
🍬 Watch out for xylitol - it’s toxic to pets and found in many sugar-free candies
🕯️ Keep candles and jack-o’-lanterns safely out of paw’s reach
🐾 Make sure ID tags and leashes are secure if your pet joins the fun
🦇 Choose costumes that don’t restrict breathing

Did your pet get in the spooky spirit this year? 🕸️👻
Drop their Halloween photo in the comments below — we’ll pick two random winners for a spook-tacular prize! 🎃🐾

From all of us (and our adorable patients) at PVH - have a safe, sweet, and spooky Halloween! 💛

The PVH crew dove Under the Sea for this year’s Red Lion Halloween Parade!🌊🎃

We had a blast joining the parade waves - mermaids, scuba gear, sharks, and all. Big thanks to the creative hands who helped bring our float to life and to everyone who came out to cheer us on. We love seeing so many familiar faces along the route! 💙🐾

Did you know, many cats have black coats, but the only breed that is always solid black in color is the Bombay? The Bombay was created in the 1950s as a hybrid of the Burmese and American Shorthair, and black is the only recognized coat color for the breed.
