Today is the full moon. Give your monthly preventatives!
July 20, 1969 is Dr Dana’s birthday and the day that the first man stepped on the moon. Honor her birthday, honor the moon phases, and build community. Everyone, all over the world, sees the same moon phases. You are part of that global community. Follow the moon phases, and when it is full or nearly so, because a few days here or there just doesn’t matter that much, give your dose of heartworm and/or flea and tick prevention, remember with gratitude that you are part of that global community, and wait with the community of us here at Southern Rhode Island Animal Hospital, for the next full moon!
FYI: If you have another way to remember to give your preventatives, that’s okay too! Do what works for you. We thought it might be fun for us to all give it together.
We have expanded!
We have a third quiet exam room for cats, a separate entrance and a waiting area for cats and other quiet patients, and a new doctor! Come and check us out, we’d love to give your pet some treats and let you tour the hospital.
February is Dental Health Month for Pets and People!
To celebrate we are offering a free 10 pack of pet dental wipes when you stop in for a tour during Mondays, and Tuesdays, in February. Start your healthy daily tooth care habit today. Schedule an appointment if you have any concerns about what you find in your pet’s mouth when you start cleaning!
Happy pet dental health month!
Welcome Dr Janet Mack, VMD! Dr Mack started at the beginning of January. Her presence will allow us to be available to see appointments Monday through Friday. We have been open five days a week since we opened on November 14, 2022, but appointments were limited on Wednesdays when Dr Dana is in surgery. Dr Mack is at the clinic seeing appointments 9 am to 4 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. She is a University of Pennsylvania graduate and brings a wealth of experience in small animal ultrasound. She owned a veterinary practice in New Hampshire and comes to us most recently from Turco Animal Hospital in Westerly.
Happy full moon gazing!
Remember your monthly heartworm and/or flea and tick prevention!
P.S. Send your book recommendations. Dr Dana’ latest reads are both by Luis Alberto Urrea. They are The Hummingbird’s Daughter and Queen of America.
