Attention rabbit people!
Have you considered having your lagomorph vaccinated for hemorrhagic disease?

This vaccine has some special considerations, so we don’t always have it available. We have some, and we’re cracking it open on Monday, January 5th.
If your rabbit has not had this vaccine before, it will need to be boostered in 3 weeks.

Give us a call to schedule your buns!!

What does a kitten without a human do when she finds herself in need of assistance? Apparently she takes herself to AMH's parking lot and stands outside the door until someone notices! Everyone, meet Tahoe!

Tahoe is an excellent biscuit-maker who enjoys humans and food. More to come!

This is your annual reminder to contact us about your pets' storm or fireworks anxiety!

This time of year has the highest risk of animals running away or damaging themselves or their environment trying to get away from explosions and flashing lights. Things you can do to keep your pets safe:

-Update all microchip registrations and collar tags with current info.

-Check all leashes and ties for wear and tear, and replace any that are frayed or worn.

-Leave your pets home from the festivities. They really don't want to be there, and may defend themselves.

-Keep pets in an interior room, or close the curtains/blinds, turn on the lights, and play background music or white noise.

-Contact your veterinarian for a consultation if anxiety is increasing as time goes on. If you usually give your pets meds, please check early to see if you need refills.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday, however you choose to celebrate!!
