Adele played a crucial role in making our hospital the wonderful and caring place it is today. Her positive energy and deep commitment were a vital part of our team and we will miss her greatly.

Ugh, nooooooo! We recommend leaving earlier than usual for your appointment to allow for getting around the construction. Consider using alternate East/West streets to get to Higgins. Our parking lot is still accessible behind the clinic off of Paulina!

☀️🐶It's been so hot and humid outside! Make sure to watch for signs of your pet getting too warm for comfort.

😍How adorable are these two little squishies?! Welcome to the Higgins family, Gus and Oliver! #

We want your senior cat video!
Most cat owners can't recognize signs of arthritis because cats are very good at hiding pain. You may have noticed your older cat sleeping more, playing less or not jumping into their favorite spot - it could be pain stopping them from doing the things they love.
Check out Cat Pain IQ and Solensia! AI will screen your uploaded video for arthritis and if they show signs, we have a brand-new injectable medication called Solensia that treats arthritis! No fighting with pills or liquids!
We've treated about five senior feline patients so far, and the results have been incredible. We are excited to have the opportunity to help more of our feline patients and encourage you to upload your cat video today to see if your senior friend might be a good candidate to try Solensia!

🦟Keep up with your flea/tick/heartworm prevention, we have seen ticks hitching a ride on our patients lately! This is a helpful article describing how to remove them from your dog. If a tick was attached, call to schedule for bloodwork in 6 weeks to make sure Lyme Disease isn't present.

How to Safely Remove a Tick from Your Dog Ticks can cause disease and even death. If you see a tick on your pet, keep your cool, grab the appropriate tools, and remove it the correct way.
