🐾🧀 Vaccines & Squeeze Cheese! 🧀🐾

This sweet girl came in for her very first visit with us, and it’s safe to say she discovered her new favorite thing… SQUEEZE CHEESE! 🥹💕

A few vaccines, lots of love, and plenty of cheesy distractions made for a pretty great puppy visit! We love making our patients’ experiences as positive (and delicious) as possible! 🐶❤️

Welcome to the ORVH family, sweet girl! 🐾💕

🐾🍂 November is Senior Pet Month! 🍂🐾

Gray muzzles, slower walks, and a lifetime of unconditional love. Our senior pets hold such a special place in our hearts! 🥹❤️

As our pets get older, their healthcare needs change. Just like us, senior pets can develop age-related conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and other health concerns that may not always show obvious symptoms.

• Routine wellness visits: Regular exams help us monitor changes in weight, mobility, behavior, and overall health.

• Senior bloodwork: Lab testing can uncover changes that aren't always visible during a physical exam and establish important health trends over time.

• Year round parasite prevention: Fleas, ticks and heartworms don't stop being a concern as pets age. Keep prevention current and conveniently order refills through our online pharmacy.

• Advanced mobility support: Senior
pets benefit from additional support to stay comfortable and active. Ask us about services such as laser therapy, supplements, and pain management that may be available for your pet.

Schedule your senior pet's next wellness visit today, and visit our online pharmacy for convenient access to their preventives, supplements and other veterinary-approved products.

🩺 Regular wellness exams and routine bloodwork are especially important for our golden oldies! Early detection can make a big difference in keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable throughout their senior years.

Whether your best friend is slowing down or still acting like a puppy, we’re here to help them enjoy their golden years to the fullest! 🐶🐱💕

📸 We want to see your senior sweethearts! Drop a picture of your grey faced best friend in the comments and tell us how old they are!

❤️ Here’s to loving them through every stage of life!

🐾 MYTH vs. FACT! 🐾

❌ MYTH: Dogs only eat grass when they’re sick.

✅ FACT: Plenty of perfectly healthy dogs eat grass! 🌱🐶 While an upset stomach can sometimes lead to grass eating, dogs may also munch on it because they like the taste or texture, are bored, or simply because… dogs are weird. 😂

In fact, many dogs that eat grass don’t vomit afterward at all.

Does your dog turn into a tiny lawn mower every time they go outside? 🌱😂 Tell us in the comments!
