Drs Asher and Monica both have Ross University to thank for their veterinary degrees. A wonderful island but St Kitts like many islands do struggle with their stray population. The students at Ross have organized a rescue transport to get many of the animals of the island next month, please consider helping these pets get a new life ❤️

We are closed 7/4 to 7/6 in observance. Normal business hours resume Monday 7/7. Happy 4th and stay safe ❤️

ITS NOT TOO EARLY…

The 4th of July is the #1 Day Dogs Go Missing…Fireworks. Crowds. Open doors. Unfamiliar visitors.
It’s a sensory overload for your dog and the perfect storm for panic.

While we celebrate, our pets often suffer quietly or bolt in fear.
Be proactive this year. A little planning now can prevent heartbreak later.

Here’s Your 4th of July Safety Checklist for Dogs:

✔️ Order calming meds from your vet NOW (don’t wait until July 3rd!)
✔️ Create a safe zone indoors with white noise, closed blinds, and familiar comfort items
✔️ Secure all gates, doors, and crates—add locks or visual reminders if needed
✔️ Walk and potty on-leash only, even in fenced yards (fear can override training)
✔️ Skip the fireworks shows—your dog doesn’t need to be social today
✔️ Update microchip and ID tags just in case
✔️ Inform guests not to open doors or feed pets party food
✔️ Keep your dog indoors early—many fireworks start before dark

Let this 4th of July be safe, secure, and uneventful—for all the right reasons.

🎆🐾 4th of July Safety Tips for Pets
Firework anxiety is not the only risk to pets during the 4th of July. Keeping pets away from human food and drinks and other potentially dangerous debris such as glowsticks, bug repellent products, plastic decorations, and other hazards.

Here’s how you can help keep animals safe this Independence Day:

✅ Make sure pets have ID tags & up-to-date microchip info
✅ Keep pets indoors during fireworks - loud sounds can cause panic and escapes
✅ Avoid giving pets table scraps, especially toxic foods
✅ Make sure animals have shade and fresh water
✅ After the festivities, check your yard for leftover debris or fireworks
✅ Never leave pets in hot cars, even briefly
✅ If you’re traveling, consider a trusted pet sitter or boarding option

Most importantly, contact your veterinarian with any concerns you have about your pet during holiday celebrations. Learn more from the AVMA here: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/petcare/july-4-safety
