As you enjoy the long weekend with family, BBQs, and celebrations, don’t forget to keep your furry family members safe too!

💊 Now is also a great time to request calming medications if your pet may need extra support during holiday festivities or upcoming fireworks. Please contact us before the holiday so we can help plan ahead.

Wood River Animal Hospital will be closed on Memorial Day in observance of the holiday. If your pet experiences an emergency, please call or go directly to:

• Ocean State Veterinary Specialists
• Pieper Veterinary
• Veterinary Urgent Care Center
• Veterinary Emergency Group (Warwick, RI)

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend while remembering and honoring those who served! ❤️🤍💙

📣 Our clinic will be closing early at 6:00 PM today, May 8, so our team can attend the Stand Up For Animals Bingo Fundraiser!

Stand Up For Animals does so much for pets in our community through rescue efforts, adoptions, medical care, and helping local families navigate financial options for their pets health. We work closely with their team and are always grateful for the compassion, dedication, and second chances they provide to so many animals in need.

Supporting organizations like this means supporting the health and well-being of pets both inside and outside the clinic walls, and we’re proud to spend the evening helping raise funds for such an important cause.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support - we’ll resume normal business hours tomorrow!

The gang’s (mostly) all here!

A rare moment where most of the crew made it into the same photo at the same time. From exams to surgery, snuggles to vaccines and everything in between - this is the team that keeps everything running.

We’re proud of this little pack of people who love your pets like their own 💕
