Why has my veterinarian been SO busy? Wondering why your veterinarian has been so busy this year? Pets may not need to mask up, but COVID-19 and its effects on human society has caused an unprecedented increase in activity at many veterinary practices.

Kevin, RVT (registered vet technician) holds an Emerald tree boa, Corallus caninus. This beautiful boa is named for its massive teeth, used to feed on arboreal small mammals (squirrels, rodents, monkeys, bats), birds, and lizards. The large chemoreceptive pits on the lips are used to detect heat given off by prey and help guide the strike. @ Pet Hospital of Penasquitos-Veterinary Specialist

In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, we'd like to take a moment to give our thanks to you for trusting us with your pet's care and for your business. We are so very appreciative for and honored by the trust you place in us. Our office will be closed on Thursday, November 28, 2019. We will reopen on Friday, November 29, 2019 for our normal business hours. Please feel free to contact us for your pet's medical needs, medication refills, diets, etc. prior to the holiday. We know... most of our clients include their beloved pets in their holiday festivities, so we wanted to offer a few helpful tips to help keep your pet’s Thanksgiving safe and fun.Many of those delicious Thanksgiving foods we look forward to all year can cause diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, or even pancreatitis in pets, so be thoughtful when sharing your Thanksgiving feast with your pets. Keep in mind that raw eggs and raw or undercooked turkey may contain salmonella bacteria, onions and garlic (including powders) can be toxic, and turkey bones can actually splinter and perforate the intestines. A small amount of cooked turkey meat is your best bet for a safe and tasty treat. Skip the skin, which can contain marinade, spices, oils, and fats which can cause stomach upset. Be sure to keep your kitchen trash secure and take it out at the end of the day. Bones, onions, chocolate, and other Thanksgiving goodies are hard for a curious pet to resist! Keep in mind that the busy hub-bub of the typical Thanksgiving can at times be a bit overwhelming for pets, so be sure yours has a comfy and quiet corner (or even better, room) to retire to when a break is needed. Wishing you and your loved ones (human and not!) a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving holiday! https://bit.ly/2sgmiFE See more
