⏰ Kittles here with your annual reminder that DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS ENDING THIS WEEKEND. 🙄

Yes, we're STILL doing this. No, they STILL haven't gotten rid of the time change. And yes, we're all STILL pretending this makes sense. 🤦‍♀️

So, here we are again! Don't forget to FALL BACK one hour this Sunday, November 1st!

And before you get too excited about that glorious "extra hour of sleep," let me remind you of something...

🐱 Your cat does NOT care what the clock says.

🐶 Your slobbery pooch has NEVER respected a schedule that doesn't revolve around food.

And BOTH will be demanding breakfast at the exact same time they always do. Except now it'll be an hour earlier. 😒

Congratulations! You've gained an hour of sleep that your pets have absolutely no intention of letting you use.

You're welcome.

🎃👻 Halloween may not officially be until tomorrow, but we know the spooky festivities have already begun!

While you're enjoying all the tricks, treats, and Halloween fun, don't forget about your four-legged family members! 🐾🧡

Here are a few friendly reminders to help keep your pets safe and happy throughout the festivities.

A little extra precaution can go a long way in making sure Halloween is all treats and no tricks for our furry friends! 🐶🐱

Stay safe, have fun, and Happy Howl-o-ween from all of us at Hometown Veterinary Hospital! 🎃🐾

Cowgirl Cali here, moseying on by with a very important question! 🐴💙

Are there any other paw-rents out there who love dressing up their furry friends as much as mine does?!

📸 Drop a picture in the comments and show us your pet's best look!

Yeehaw! 🤠🐾💕

💙 A Quick Payment Update from Hometown Veterinary Hospital 💙

Our clients and their pets mean so much to us, and we always want to be transparent about changes that may affect your visit.

Beginning November 1, a 2.95% fee will apply to credit card payments. This fee helps us continue to provide secure and reliable payment options for our clients.

We know that changes like this can raise questions, so we want to make sure you have options. Debit cards, cash, checks, and financing options such as CareCredit and Scratchpay will not be subject to this fee.

We truly appreciate your understanding and, most importantly, your continued trust in us to care for your pets. 🐾💙

Thank you for being part of the Hometown family!

Sweet Lizy came to visit us, and when her technician took her out of her carrier for vitals, she discovered a toothbrush tucked inside! 🪥

Turns out, Lizy LOVES being brushed with a toothbrush, and it’s her secret to staying calm and relaxed during her visits. ❤️

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference! Just look at that sweet face! 🐈‍⬛🐾
