Dogs and cats have a much higher sense of hearing than us humans do. While we may hear fireworks as musical pops, our pets experience them with much higher intensity. 🎆

As with thunder and lightning, the loud booms of fireworks are unpredictable and cause a lot of confusion for our pets. Cats and dogs cannot understand what is happening when they hear fireworks, which instinctively triggers their fight-or-flight response to unknown threats. 🙀

Santa needs our staff to hop on his Reindeer Recovery Team through the holidays!🦌💨🐾 We will be closed through both Christmas and New Year’s Day.

🚨Friendly Heads-Up for Our Community‼️
Hi everyone! We wanted to share a quick heads-up:

A few clients have received messages claiming their lost pet was found and being held at our hospital, with a request for payment before they could get their pet back. These messages are not from us — it’s a scam.

We want to reassure you: we would never hold a pet or ask for money in that way. If your pet is ever in our care, you’ll hear directly from our team, and we’ll handle everything personally.

If you get a message like this:
🚫Don’t send any money.
📞Call us so we can help you sort it out.
🚨Report it to local authorities to help protect yourself and others.

Please SHARE this post so others in the community are aware! We want everyone to stay safe because we know how scary it can feel when your furry family member is involved. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe & informed! 🐾💛

📢No veterinarian on staff over the next few weeks❗️😢 We will have a relief veterinarian for several days. Please be mindful of our office hours. Dr. Stone will be on vacation & Dr. Kempa is on maternity leave. We are actively searching for another relief veterinarian, so we can continue providing care for our pet families. During our non-operating hours, please reach out to your local emergency veterinary facility for assistance🏥
