As winter approaches and temperatures fall, you may think that you can give your pet a break from their tick and flea medication. But not so fast — many dogs are at risk for ticks and fleas year-round.

Not only can fleas find their way into your home during the colder months, but many tick species can survive throughout the winter, too.

Everyone meet Panda! Who is in fact one of the cutest kittens ever.
Panda’s first vet visit was a success. His owner left with a better understanding of Panda’s health needs and the importance of regular veterinary care. The visit marked the beginning of a healthy and happy life for Panda, filled with love, play, and the assurance that he’ll be well cared for.

A little bit of extra straw is needed today as snow is dropping across New York. Farmers prepared for this storm and put jackets on their calves, provided a little extra water for hydration, and a little more bedding for warmth. How are you staying warm on this cold December day?

Join us in spreading holiday cheer and warmth to our furry friends at North Country Pet Adoption Services by participating in their Angel Tree initiative this year!

How to Participate:
Choose an Ornament: Each ornament on the Angel Tree features an adorable, adoptable pet. These pets are looking for their forever homes, and you can make their holiday season a little brighter by participating in this special program.

Purchase a Gift: On the back of each ornament, you'll find a list of items needed by the pet featured. These could be toys, food, or other essentials that will help make their stay more comfortable while they wait for a loving family.

Return the Ornament and Gift: Once you've purchased the item, please return both the ornament and the gift to our collection point. This ensures the right gifts go to the right pets and allows us to track contributions.

The staff at Watertown Animal Hospital would like to take a moment of your time to help clarify a common misconception we get from our callers. Although the word "hospital" is in our name, we are not an emergency facility. "Hospital" just means that we can provide inpatient care - keeping your pet in the hospital. Not all clinics can do this.

As a general practice, we do not have the resources and staffing an emergency clinic would have. If you are a client of ours and you think your pet has a life-threatening emergency, you can contact us during business hours and we will do our best to assist you and your pet. If you are not a client and have an emergency, or our clinic is closed for the day, we most likely will refer you to the nearby emergency clinics available to you (listed below).

Unfortunately, it is not in our capability to help every animal in need all the time. We are never happy to turn away a pet in need, but we have limits. Please understand that we always keep the pet's best interest in mind when we recommend that you take your companion to an emergency facility.
