Hello Again –

Another curveball by mother nature knocked out of the park by our wonderful staff at the Princeton Animal Hospital and Carnegie Cat Clinic.  As the storm was bearing down upon our hospital, we knew we had to make some tough decisions.  Irene gave us all she could, rain, killer winds, flooding, and trees turned upside down.  Our brave overnight technician Aleshia kept all of the patients and pets safe and comfortable while Irene raged away in the night.  As water began to overwhelm our sump pump and drainage system, she again sprung into action.  By mornings end, not an item damaged, not a pet in distress, and a hospital open and ready to see those furry friends in need. 

The Sunday staff (Dr Jones, Barb, Tina, Lizette, Anna, Allie, and Andi) braved the floods and falling trees to be in and have us open at our regular 7am starting time, Sunday morning.  We could not put into words the thanks and praise our staff received for being available for our clients and community.  At the end, this is what we do and have done for over 20 years.  We are proud to be available, dependable, and reliable.  We are also so very proud to be your choice in an animal hospital.

Don’t run the risk of losing with your pet with no chance of reuniting. Even if your pet never wanders away, remember that in old age, pets have a tendency to lose their scent and can wander too far to retrace their steps. At Princeton Animal Hospital, we recommend a microchip for every cat and dog.

 

Today is National Assistance Dog Day! Assistance Dogs transform the lives of their human partners with physical and mental disabilities by serving as their companion, helper, best friend and close member of their family. We would like recognize and honor the hardworking assistance dogs and honor the puppy raisers and trainers of assistance dogs as well as recognize the heroic deeds performed by assistance dogs in our community.

 

Employee of the Month

Princeton Animal Hospital is proud to honor Amy Cymanski as our Employee of the Month. A veterinary technician, Amy has helped care for pets at Princeton Animal Hospital since 2005. Amy was voted Lifesaver of the Month by her fellow team members for her outstanding contributions to the hospital. She recently drove a client to an emergency clinic after an 18 hour shift because they were new to the area and weren't sure where to go. She possibly saved the pets life by this act of kindness.

Pet of the Month

Princeton Animal Hospital is proud to honor Bogart McCann as our Pet of the Month! Bogart is a 4 year old male neutered mutt. He's from a shelter in Vermillion County, Illinois. He was our surgery group's first surgery junior year and he was very sick when he was adopted. He is a pretty shy guy, but will warm up to anyone given enough time in the right environment. Bo is a huge couch potato and loves to sun bathe on the porch. His more active favorite things to do are play Frisbee and popping bubbles if you blow them for him. He is a very gentle big brother, too.

Pet of the Month

We are proud to announce "Boomer" as our June Pet of the Month! Boomer was born 10/18/08 and was an unexpected X-mas present. He is what you call a gentle giant. Lovable, protective and a baby, all at once. If he was smaller he would be the best lap dog ever!

 

 

Fourth of July is one firecracker of a day, but maybe not for your pet. We recommend keeping your pet away from sparklers and other fireworks that may be ingested. Please remember their sensitive ears during those firework displays. We can give you suggestions about how to reduce your pet’s anxiety to loud firecrackers. We want you and your pet to enjoy safe summer holidays.
