Happy Halloween from all of us.

If your pet gets nervous with the doorbell and the costumes, set them up with a quiet room away from the front door and make sure their ID tags are current before the evening gets busy. A little calm goes a long way tonight.

Now for the fun part. Show us your pet's costume in the comments. We have been waiting all month for this!

It is National Cat Day.

Whether yours greets you at the door or judges you quietly from the top of the bookshelf, today is for celebrating the cats who share our homes and our hearts.

We are always happy to see a good cat photo, so drop yours in the comments.

Halloween is one of the easiest nights for a pet to slip out.

If your pet has fear, anxiety, or stress give us a call, we may be able to help.

The door opens again and again, costumes look strange to them, and even a calm pet can panic and bolt. A microchip with current contact information and possible medication are two of the best ways to make sure a lost pet finds their way back to you.
Not sure if yours is registered or up to date? We can scan and check for you.

The affected products were shipped nationwide between February 18, 2026, and October 6, 2026, to veterinary practices, pharmacies, and other customers. The recall includes various medications in forms such as powders, pastes, oral suspensions, injectables, ophthalmic ointments and solutions, ear solutions, topical sprays, and gels.

What does this mean for you and your pet?
If your pet is currently taking a compounded medication from Wedgewood Pharmacy, please check whether it's included in the recall. You can find the complete list of affected products, including lot numbers and expiration dates, here:

If your pet is on any recalled medications, we'll contact you. We know how important your pet's health and well-being are to you. If you have questions or concerns about a medication your pet is taking, please give our team a call. We're happy to help you understand what this means for your pet and determine any next steps.

Please don't stop or change your pet's prescribed medication without first speaking with your veterinarian.

Your pet's health and safety will always be our priority.

With the candy bowl filling up, a quick reminder for pet families.

Chocolate, xylitol, and raisins are all dangerous for pets, and candy wrappers can cause problems of their own. Keep the stash somewhere your pet cannot reach, and remind the kids to do the same.

If your pet gets into something they should not, call us right away at (703) 497-7387.

It is National Veterinary Technician Week and our techs are the heart of this place.

They comfort nervous patients, monitor anesthesia, are your lab-work technicians, surgical nurses, dental hygienists, and somehow still find a way to make everyone feel cared for, pets and people alike. We would be lost without them.

Have a tech here who has taken great care of your pet? Name them in the comments so we can pass it along.

Happy Global Cat Day to every cat and the people who serve them.

Cats are famously good at acting like nothing is wrong, even when something is. That quiet toughness is exactly why regular checkups matter so much for them, indoor cats included.

If it has been a while since your cat's last visit, call us at (703) 497-7387!

Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, and it is a good reminder that those extra treats add up.

Carrying extra weight makes everyday movement harder on your pet and can affect their comfort and energy over time. The encouraging part is that small changes to food, portions, and activity really do make a difference.

Not sure where your pet stands? Call us to schedule a weight check and a nutritional consultation!

Costume planning season is officially here.

If your pet is dressing up, keep it comfortable and safe: nothing that limits movement, vision, or breathing, no small pieces they could chew off, and always supervise while it is on.

If your pet would rather skip the outfit, a festive bandana still earns full marks.

So tell us, what is your pet going as this year? We want to hear it in the comments.
