Fall is a season where mice and rodents like to make their way into your home. So for this #FallSafetyTip, we ask that if you’re using rodenticides, keep them away from pets because they’re toxic! #VCApets

We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
Madison Animal Hospital in partnership with WALTHAM™ Centre of Pet Nutrition is seeking dogs that have chronic enteropathy (intestinal disease) to participate in the WALTHAM™ Biobank Project.

This study includes a simple blood and fecal sample collection along with a physical examination, all procedures are at no cost to you.
If you think your dog may qualify for this study please contact our team at (973) 377-1515
Chronic enteropathy, also known as intestinal disease, is often associated with persistent signs of diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss or decreased appetite. If your dog has any of these symptoms please contact us today to schedule an appointment.
October is National Pet Wellness Month! So make sure to schedule a routine check-up if it’s been a while ❤️🐶#VCApets
Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.
We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.
Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.
* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens! #VCApets
Think cats and water don’t mix? Well, think again! For this trivia question, we want to know which breed of cat loves to swim 🌊🐱. Tell us below ⬇#VCApets
Although cats always act a bit weird, certain behavior may signal a health issue. For example, leaving food untouched may be a symptom of depression.

No one likes ticks! But did you know that New Jersey has one of the highest prevalences of Lyme Disease carrying ticks in the nation? According to our friends at the Companion Animal Parasite Council, nearly 10% of dogs tested in Morris County this year came up positive for Lyme! We all know NJ is the best 😉 but this is one chart we do not want to top. Help protect your dog by making sure they are up to date on their flea/tick preventative year round! Call us at (973) 377-1515 if you need a refill!
