Your Kitten’s Vaccine Roadmap

6–8 weeks: First FVRCP vaccine – shields against three major feline viruses.
9–12 weeks: Second FVRCP dose + FeLV if your kitten is at risk.
14–16 weeks: Final FVRCP booster + rabies protection.
12 months: Annual boosters to keep immunity strong.
💡 Think of vaccines as checkpoints on your kitten’s journey to a healthy adulthood.
-Kittens are born with temporary immunity from their mother.
-This protection fades after a few weeks, leaving them vulnerable.
-Timed vaccines fill the gap and train their immune system.
💡The timing isn’t random—it’s based on how your kitten’s immune system develops.

Vaccine Misconceptions You Should Know

Indoor cats are safe without vaccines? ❌ Viruses can still enter your home.
One shot covers everything? ❌ Immunity needs a series of doses.
Vaccines cause illness? ❌ Most side effects are mild and temporary.

🍩🐾 Happy National Donut Day! 🐾🍩

Just like donuts, our vet techs come in all varieties — caring, skilled, and always ready to brighten your day. Whether they’re comforting a nervous pet, assisting in surgery, or making sure tails keep wagging, they’re the real treat around here.

Donut Collars: These collars are designed to be comfortable and lightweight, allowing for better mobility and peripheral vision. They are often used for dogs recovering from surgery or injuries to prevent licking at wounds.

The donut collar is a soft, inflatable alternative to the traditional e-collar (Elizabethan collar).

E-Collars: The classic Elizabethan collar is a hard plastic cone that prevents dogs from accessing wounds or bandages. While effective, it can be bulky and uncomfortable for some dogs.

Comfort and Safety: Donut collars are generally more comfortable than traditional e-collars and are suitable for various breeds, especially those with longer snouts.

An e-collar might not be your pet’s favorite accessory, but it’s an essential safeguard during recovery!

They stop licking, chewing, or scratching that can slow healing or cause infection.
Protects veterinary work – Keeps sutures, dressings, and treated areas secure.
Encourages uninterrupted healing – Prevents irritation so the body can focus on repair.
We recommend keeping the e-collar on around the clock. Even short breaks can risk reopening wounds or introducing bacteria.

Think of it as a short-term shield that ensures your pet’s long-term health and comfort.

Bye-Bye, Bugs! Why Flea & Tick Prevention is a Must

Fleas and ticks aren’t just gate-crashers at your pet’s fur party — they’re the uninvited guests who steal snacks, wreck the place, and leave behind nasty surprises.

Here’s the scoop:

They’re sneaky year-round: Even in winter, they can hide in your home like tiny ninjas.
They multiply like popcorn: One flea can turn into a full-blown itchpocalypse in days.
They bring bad vibes (and diseases): Lyme disease, tapeworms, skin irritation… no thanks!
Your game plan:

✨ Use vet-approved preventatives like clockwork.

✨ Give your pet a post-adventure “bug check.”

✨ Keep your yard trimmed — ticks love tall grass hideouts.

✨ Wash bedding & vacuum like you’re on a cleaning montage.

Moral of the story: Stop the pests before they start the party. Your pet will thank you with extra tail wags and zero scratch sessions. 🐾💖

🚲🐾 Happy World Bicycle Day!

World Bicycle Day is a wonderful time to celebrate cycling, fresh air, and adventures with the pets who love to join us! Whether your pup rides in a bike basket, trots safely alongside you, or pulls you on a “bikejoring” adventure, it’s all about sharing the joy of two-wheel travel.

Dogs are not the only pets who can enjoy the ride. Cats, rabbits, and other small companions may also be able to join in safely with the right carrier, setup, and supervision.

Before heading out, remember that safety comes first:
🐶 Use a secure harness, carrier, basket, or trailer
🐱 Avoid hot pavement and extreme temperatures
🐰 Bring water and take breaks
🐾 Start slow and build up distance gradually
🐕‍🦺 Make sure your pet is comfortable, visible, and protected

Meet Cora 🐾💙

Cora is here for her annual exam, along with comprehensive wellness screening including annual bloodwork, a f***l test, and a cystocentesis to collect a sterile urine sample for analysis as part of her wellness panel.

Preventive care like this gives us a complete picture of her overall health and helps us detect subtle changes early—often before any clinical signs are noticed at home. From internal organ function to gastrointestinal health and urinary tract evaluation, these routine screenings are an important part of keeping pets healthy year after year.

Great job, Cora!

Vacation season is here ☀️🏕️🐾

If your dog will be camping, boarding, traveling, or attending daycare/grooming this summer, make sure their vaccines are up to date and you have copies of their records ready to go.

Many campgrounds and boarding facilities require proof of vaccines before your pet can attend. Don’t wait until the last minute to check what your pup may need!

Commonly required vaccines include:
• Rabies
• Distemper/Parvo
• Bordetella
• Canine Influenza at some locations

Give us a call if you need vaccines scheduled or records emailed over 🐶🌲🚐

We’re excited to introduce a new face at the front desk—please welcome Chai to the Weare Animal Hospital and Hopkinton Animal Hospital teams! 🐾💙

Chai joins us with previous experience in veterinary medicine as a CSR, bringing valuable knowledge, a calm presence, and a strong understanding of client care and communication. She’s already fitting right in helping triage calls, coordinate appointments, and support our clients and patients with compassion and efficiency.

Recently relocated to the area, Chai is also the proud pet parent of two cowboy corgis 🤠 who definitely keep life interesting outside of work!

We’re so happy to have her as part of both hospitals—please join us in giving Chai a warm welcome!

PET OF THE WEEK! 🌟
Going to the vet can be scary, but Ryver makes it look easy. From the moment those paws walked through our lobby doors, it was nothing but tail wags and gentle leans. Ryver was an absolute champ during her exam and reminded all of us exactly why we love veterinary medicine.
Thank you to Ryver's amazing family for sharing your sweet pup with us! 🐾

After many thoughtful conversations and a great deal of consideration, we wanted to share an important update regarding grooming services at our hospitals.
Over the coming months, we will be transitioning away from offering in-hospital grooming services. Lisa will continue grooming through June, July, and August to complete her currently scheduled appointments and help thoughtfully transition the service.
This decision was incredibly difficult and was not made because we do not value grooming services or Lisa’s amazing work. Lisa has been a deeply valued part of our hospitals for many years, and we are so grateful for the care, patience, and love she has shown to so many pets and families over time.
Ultimately, this decision came down to space and the growing needs of the medical side of our hospitals. As our veterinary services continue to expand, we have reached a point where we need to maximize the space we currently have available. Unfortunately, expanding our building is not an option, so we had to make difficult decisions about how to best utilize the space moving forward.
Lisa is currently exploring what her next chapter may look like, whether that be joining another grooming facility or potentially starting something of her own. While plans are not finalized yet, we absolutely hope to continue supporting and referring clients to Lisa wherever she lands, and we will gladly keep everyone updated as we know more.
We know this change may feel emotional for many clients and pets who have built relationships with Lisa over the years, and we truly appreciate your understanding and support during this transition.💛✂️
