Move to new side of building

We are excited to announce that Phase 1 of construction will be completed in early March. We will start seeing patients on that side of the clinic the week of March 4th. Monday, March 4th will be a moving day. If you have a scheduled appointment on March 4th you will enter the clinic through our normal front doors. We will have reduced appointments on that day. We will be exclusively in Phase 1 from March through June while the remainder of the clinic undergoes a full renovation.

Here are some changes that will occur from March to June:

• We will be implementing curbside for all appointments and medication or food pick-up. Please call from the parking lot to check in and we will call when a room is ready for you to enter.

• You will enter through a new front entrance into a small makeshift reception area and a staff member will meet you to usher you into an exam room

• Our surgical appointments will be limited for those 3 months. We will still be able to do surgery but have a limited number of cages and recovery areas. Surgical drop-off and pick-up will also be curbside.

• If you purchase food from the clinic, please plan as we will be carrying a reduced volume of food due to lack of storage. You can also visit our online pharmacy and order your food from our online store https://springhillvet.vetsfirstchoice.com/.

Behavior & Training

  • They're perfectly willing to lie beside you (or on your lap) while you're reading a book, but if you invite them to play, they'll join a rousing game of catch-me-if-you-can.

  • The clownish, energetic Bull Terrier has found himself to be the object of advertising adoration. No fewer than three Bull Terriers have lent their talents to various marketing media. That said, any well-bred Bull Terrier is happy to put on a show for the family upon whom he lavishes never-ending devotion – and for family guests as well.

  • With its massive head, jutting jaw and barrel shape, the Bulldog appears to be a real tough guy but in fact is just the opposite. The truth is, everyone loves the Bulldog and this sweetheart returns the compliment.

  • Strong-willed and with a body more powerful than the average bear, the Bullmastiff cannot be coerced to do something he doesn't want to do. But for a master he loves and respects, nothing is impossible. These dogs crave physical contact and consider themselves to be lapdogs despite their girth.

  • Puppy Behavior and Training – Training Basics

    Los perros se pueden adiestrar desde el momento en que llegan a casa. Los cachorros aprenden desde el nacimiento; por eso, muchos criadores incentivan la manipulación y la socialización desde el nacimiento. Los cachorros más jóvenes son capaces de mantener la atención durante periodos de tiempo muy cortos, pero con 7 u 8 semanas de edad ya podemos esperar que empiecen a aprender órdenes simples de obediencia como sienta y échate.

  • Puppy Behavior and Training: Sit, Down, Stand and Stay

    Debe utilizarse un trocito de comida como premio, mantenerlo sobre la nariz del perro y desplazarlo lentamente hacia arriba y hacia la cola del perro. El cachorro se sentará al seguir la comida con la cabeza.

  • Getting Your Puppy Started Off Right

    Cuando el cachorro llega a casa necesita un periodo de adaptación. El objetivo es ayudarle a unirse rápidamente a la familia y minimizar el estrés asociado a la separación de la madre, los hermanos y la casa previa. La presencia de otro perro en la casa puede facilitar la transición, ya que al cachorro le resulta más fácil identificarse con los de su misma especie.

  • Play Biting in Puppies

    A menudo se cree que el mordisqueo en los cachorros se debe al cambio de dentición, pero con frecuencia se trata de una forma de juego social. Hay que ofrecer a los cachorros muchas oportunidades para jugar.

  • Fond of children but fierce with trespassing backyard wildlife, adorably small and gigantically courageous, the Cairn Terrier can be hard to pin down.

  • Even though young pups may be more actively curious, dogs never stop learning. In fact, adult dogs are often easier to train than their younger canine friends. Older dogs are not as easily distracted as pups and can focus for longer periods of time. Teaching and learning new tricks can be a fun pastime for you and your dog, no matter your respective ages.
