Social media accounts for pets. Did you know that some animals have their own social media accounts? Yes! From dogs to guinea pigs, these accounts can be entertaining and full of helpful information on caring for your pet.
Telehealth – We humans use telehealth often to save time and avoid going into the doctor’s office to collect more germs potentially. Virtual vet appointments are also available and convenient for you. So, the next time your schedule won't allow for an in-person visit or our pet taxi service is booked for the day and time you need, call your Vet and ask about virtual options.
