We would like to take the time to celebrate the wonderful career that Barb has had with us and announce her retirement after 31 years.
She has an avid love for her border collies as well as agility training. She is an exceptional baker and her favorite place to be is on Block Island with her family and grandchildren.
As many of you know, Barb has been an integral part of our family and has impacted the lives of so many employees, clients and pets. Her kind heart towards others and all of the animals will be especially missed. Thank you for all of your hard work and commitment over the years. You honored the reputation of being a family business as well as one who cared deeply for each pet as their own. We would truly not be where we are today without you!
Cheers to a wonderful retirement!
❤️ Thank you Kim ❤️
Kim joined our TVH family about a year ago and has contributed so much to our team since then. Kim always tries her hardest in everything she does while making sure to pay attention to the details. We love Kim because she is always motivated to give your pet's a voice, making sure that they are happy and healthy when in our care. Kim has competed internationally and trained horses for showjumping competitions. In her spare time, you will find her at the stables or hiking with her two fur babies Kinsey and Loki! Kim is currently applying to vet school and we wish her best of luck on her applications. We know that she will achieve great things in her future.
We thank Kim for always being such bright light on our team and we wish her the best of luck on her vet school applications!
❤️ Thank you Lisa ❤️

Lisa always takes the time to help our clients to the best of her abilities. Even when Lisa is not at TVH, she still dedicates her time to animals at her own pet sitting business. In her free time, Lisa loves to go horseback riding and work on her garden.
We thank Lisa for all her years of hard work and for always having our client's best interests at heart!

You’ll find Chantal greeting you with a smile and listening to your every concern as if your pets were her own so no details are missed. We love Chantal because she goes above and beyond for every pet that enters our hospital, giving them the love and care they deserve. You’ll also find her snapping pictures of your fur babies for our social media. Chantal is currently applying for veterinary school and we know she will accomplish great things in the future as her work ethic is beyond measurable.

We are grateful for being able to stay open and grateful for having such an understanding and caring community. We hope during this holiday season, our clients and their loved ones are able to stay happy and safe!

Just a reminder to continue practicing social distancing when coming to our hospital! We are still a curbside practice in order to keep our staff and clients safe.
Unsure how far 6 feet is? Here is an easy guide!
Not all cats hate water! Mango loves the sink and is always asking us to turn it on 😂

Hank came in for his first appointment and got some love and support from Rhianna 🥰
Ozzee here is a handsome Scottish fold😍
These "folds" on their ears are said to give them an owl-like appearance. Do you see the resemblance?
🐾 UPDATE: Bella has found her new forever home! She wants to thank everyone who shared her story, you are the reason she got a second chance! 🐾
Bella has been a loyal client of ours for a number of years, and now it is our turn to help her. Unfortunately, Bella's owner has passed away unexpectedly, she lost her home and her best friend at the same time. We're hoping to give Bella a second chance at a new home with someone who will love and cherish her just like her first owner did.
Bella is a 6-year-old Bulldog who loves to go on walks, play, and cuddle. She is around 45-50 pounds, but don't let her size intimidate you, she is a sweetheart. Bella is a princess and wants all the attention so she would do best as the only dog in the household.
