Everyone did such a phenomenal job helping us after Hurricane Helene that now we are asking for your help once again! Our hearts go out to those affected in Jamaica! We are proud to be a drop off center for ANIMAL supplies that our friends with Stella's Southern Angels will be taking to Florida and then on to Jamaica. Due to limited space, they can not accept any human supplies. We will update with lists of most needed items as we find out. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!

We have been asked to start collecting supplies for the animals of Jamaica and of course we said yes! We will need everything…food,bowls,leashes,collars,litter boxes ,veterinary supplies,etc etc. (We will not be taking any human supplies as we will need all the space in the trailer for animal supplies.) I have several different drop off locations in the Lowcountry or we can come pick up the supplies from you directly! We will be working closely with an amazing friend of mine who is already organizing air and boat transportarion to get the supplies to Jamaica as soon as possible. Right now the plan is to get as much as we can and deliver it to Miami for pickup. I’m in touch with some Jamaican rescues and shelters as well so anything they are in dire need of I can let everyone know. Please let me know if you can help out! This storm is proving to be a nightmare and I can only pray that the loss of human and animal life is minimal. You can also Venmo or PayPal us as well!! Please share this post so we can get as many donations as possible! Thank you guys and please keep everyone in the path of the hurricane in your thoughts and prayers!!!

PSA for our City Of Charleston residents.

🐾 Attention Charleston Pet Owners! 🐾

The City of Charleston has updated several animal control ordinances to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our furry friends. Key highlights include:

Adequate Care: New definitions for food, water, shelter, and overall care for outdoor pets.

Leash Law Update: Maximum leash length reduced to 8 feet—yes, retractable leashes count!

Livestock & Poultry: Permits are now clearly required for ownership within the city, and roosters are prohibited.

Microchipping & ID: Dogs and cats over 4 months must be microchipped—or wear a tag with current owner info.

Tethering Rules: Puppies under 12 months, females in heat, and nighttime tethering are prohibited; strict guidelines for weight and length apply.

Vehicle Safety: Pets left in vehicles must be monitored carefully in temperatures above 75°F.

Animal Rescues: Must register with Animal Control, maintain proper records, and follow intake rules for strays.

📌 Pet owners, please review these changes to stay compliant and keep your animals safe!

This is the group that we worked with this time last year to get donations up to the victims of Hurricane Helene. They also do so much to help all of our local 4 legged friends in need but now they need your help to continue doing what they do. Please share or donate if you can!

PET VET IS LOOKING TO ADD ANOTHER EXPERIENCED MEMBER TO OUR ROCKSTAR TEAM!
If you are wanting to work somewhere that encourages team work and doesn't micromanage, encourages you to use your vacation time (that IS why we get so much after all!) and respects your days off, then PET VET is the place for you!
However, before we get down to business, allow us to introduce ourselves! We are a PRIVATELY OWNED (No corporate craziness here!) small animal practice located in the Old Village district of Mount Pleasant. We are owned by the colorful Dr. Brian King. Dr. King believes in creating a positive and fun culture by providing rewards and incentives for excellent customer service and teamwork. Pet Vet is not your typical cold and impersonal hospital environment. We pride ourselves on having a team where everyone brings something different to the table that complements each others strengths. Since unity and team building are important to us, we offer multiple after hours team building outings throughout the year. Some past examples include pottery painting, visiting the Van Gogh Experience that came to Charleston, a yearly private sunset costume cruise in October, various concerts and much more! Because work/life balance is a priority, time off is encouraged and respected. Therefore, THOSE OUTINGS ARE NEVER REQUIRED, just offered. In addition to dogs and cats, you never know what will come through the door because we also have a wildlife license. We treat orphaned and injured wildlife of all shapes and sizes. We have seen it all - from injured pelicans to orphaned squirrels, and everything in between! One fun fact we are very proud of is that we have won Best Of Mt Pleasant multiple times! Feel free to check us out at www.petvetmtp.com! We look forward to meeting you and finding out how you will complete our team!
