Happy Wednesday from Riggins and Peaky!
A whole day just to celebrate dogs? Aw shucks, Ernie can’t believe it. Happy #nationaldogday to all of our doggy friends!
Tiffany is one of our incredible veterinary technicians. Tiffany has been working in the veterinary field for about 15 years and is passionate about emergency medicine and anesthesia. She received her BA in Biology from Brooklyn College and plans on going back to school to become a veterinarian! When not at work she enjoys hanging out with her seven (!) cats and her dog, Donut.

Today doesn’t just mark the first day of August, it’s also the start of Dogust, the Universal Birthday for Shelter Dogs! This wholesome holiday marks an honorary birthday for adopted shelter dogs, as their exact ones are often unknown.

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
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
Make sure to follow these tips this Thanksgiving to keep your pet safe and comfortable!
FALL in love with Park East! Just because we aren’t allowing many people inside doesn’t mean we can’t get into the fall spirit!
