Resource Document: What to Expect After Your Pet's Vaccinations Today

Congratulations Kristin Unger, BRVC's Team Member of the Month!

Since dogs range in size from 2lbs to 200lbs with all sorts of body shapes, we rely on their body condition to tell us if they are overweight. Cats don’t vary in size as much as dogs but we still follow simple guidelines to determine their ideal weight.

With good preventative medicine, pets are living much longer than they did in the past. An annual physical exam, annual blood work, good nutrition and better dental care are just some of the factors involved in extending the golden years of your pet’s life.

To my friends and clients at BRVC, With a heavy heart I'd like to announce that on August 23rd I'll be stepping away from practice at BRVC. I'm at a transitional moment of life (I just got married!) and I'm taking a leave of absence to travel with my wife, Ashley. The duration of my leave is not definite but I hope to return to BRVC in Spring 2019.
