🎒 Back-to-school season is here... is your pet ready?

Sudden schedule changes can catch our pets off guard, especially those prone to separation anxiety.

A little prep now can help them feel secure:
✅ Start easing into the school-year routine early
✅ Practice short separations to build comfort
✅ Create a cozy, enriching space for solo time
✅ Leave puzzle toys or worn t-shirts with your scent
✅ Talk to us about anxiety treatment options

We're making a change for your pet's safety and care 🐶🐾

Starting August 10, 2025, we’ll no longer process prescription approvals directly through outside pharmacies. Why the change?
✔️ Safer, verified medications
⏱️ Fewer delays and miscommunications
❤️ More time focused on your pet’s care

You’ll still have three easy options for prescriptions:
1️⃣ A written prescription that can be used at any pharmacy
2️⃣ Fill through our in-house pharmacy
3️⃣ Order from our online pharmacy

To help us serve you better, we ask that you please request prescription refills at least 3 days in advance. Thank you for your understanding and partnership in keeping your pets happy and healthy! 🐕🐾🐈
