Roscoe is here again to remind us to be careful about how we "treat" our pets during the holidays! Wishing all a beautiful season of gratitude, warmth and love.

Let's just call it like it is. Dogs lie. 😂

They will tell you it is OK for them to join in on our Thanksgiving meal and eat anything (and EVERYTHING) offered up at our feasts. Don't be fooled by that (incredibly) cute face and those pleading eyes.

See our tips in the comments below for pet-safe Thanksgiving treats. And remember, even "safe" foods in anything more than a small sample can cause problems in our pets.

P.S. Cats don't lie. They just don't even bother to ask. 😂😍

We are well into the "dog days of summer" and need to carefully monitor our pets. Limit outdoor time and activity on hot days and seek treatment immediately for heat related illness or pavement burns on paws.

If pets are in distress or injured outside of our regular clinic hours, please reach out to one of the nearby emergency clinics including the Peninsula Animal Referral Center at 757-874-8115 or the Animal Emergency Center at 757-234-0461.

Have a happy and safe summer!

Independence Day is coming up! Now is the time to reach out to your veterinarian to discuss supplements and medications that can help calm your pet during the festivities.

The fireworks festivities often begin early (sometimes weeks in advance) with random "surprises" that can startle pets into running off or injuring themselves. Please be considerate of nearby pet parents, and properties with livestock, when celebrating.

Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week to our amazing "front desk" team! Roman (who has captured the heart and home of team member Jeymarie) takes a moment to demonstrate what the life of a veterinary receptionist looks like ....

On March 13, 1942 the United States Army launched the War Dog program and began training K-9s for military service. Since that time, highly trained working dogs have become an integral part of our military and police departments. They have saved countless soldiers, police officers and private citizens ... at times paying the ultimate price themselves. Today we honor K-9 Veterans and pay our respects to the ones who "gave all."
