🐾 Is Your Pet Protected? 🐾

June is National microchipping month!

Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime? A microchip can be their ticket home. 💔➡️🏡

Microchipping is a quick, painless, and permanent way to ensure your furry friend can be identified if they ever get lost. Unlike collars or tags, a microchip can’t fall off or get removed.

Call us today and get your pet microchipped!
Because they’d do anything for you—make sure you do this for them. 💙

Feel free to reply in the comments with a picture of your pet and why you appreciate them!

Stay Cool, Furry Friends: Hot Weather Tips for Your Pets!

With the summertime quickly approaching, we just wanted to spread awareness about keeping your pets safe during these hot, humid months.
- Keep your pets indoors during extremely hot days (85 degrees and up).
- Make sure your pets have access to fresh, clean water.
- Take care to not over-exercise your pets outdoors when it is very hot and/or humid outside. Even temperatures in the mid to upper 70s can pose a threat.
- NEVER leave your pet in a parked vehicle. Even if the windows are down, this is extremely dangerous.
- NEVER leave your pet unattended near a swimming pool.
- Check the pavement before walking your dog on the street. If it feels too hot for you, it is definitely too hot for them!
- Remember, pets with flat faces (Pugs, Persians, Bulldogs, Boxers, etc.) are more susceptible to heat stroke.

Lastly, it is crucially important to know the symptoms of heat stroke. Signs can include excessive panting or respiratory difficulties, drooling, increased heart rate, weakness, collapse, vomiting, seizures, and bloody diarrhea. If your pet develops any of these symptoms on a hot day, please seek emergency care ASAP!

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of having some visitors from the Jack and Jill of America chapter! It was so much fun showing them around the clinic and having them see some critters!

Saturday 4/26 was also known as World Veterinary Day - we are so grateful to be able to serve the Hampton Roads community as veterinarians, vet technicians, vet assistants, and receptionists. It is a huge honor to be able to care for your pets. ❤️🐾
