We have long known that there is an incredible amount of diversion, grey market product, and counterfeit product being distributed through online pet pharmacies.  This is the reason that we we will not return fax prescription requests from online pharmacies at PBVC (I promise it’s not just to make our client’s lives difficult!).

Here’s an interesting article about a veterinary drug peddler and his online pharmacy scheme: http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=41978&callshare=1

There is soooooo much misinformation on the internet (especially Dr. Google) about pet food, animal nutrition, and pet food companies.  I found this excellent resource to that really nicely addresses some of the most common questions that I get from clients:  http://www.proplanveterinarydiets.com/pet-food-myths-and-facts/

It talks about all you (never) wanted to know about gluten-free, by-products, “natural” and “organic” in the pet food industry, raw diets, and much more.  Check it out and let me know what you think!

Pismo Beach Veterinary Clinic will be CLOSED on the 4th of July so our staff can spend time with their families. We will have normal business hours the rest of the week. If you have an emergency and need immediate veterinary assistance on July 4th, please contact the Central Coast Pet Emergency Clinic at (805) 489-6573, located in the K Mart shopping plaza in Arroyo Grande.

Don’t forget about your pets on this often stressful holiday.  Here are some pet safety tips:  http://wp.me/p3gPYi-1au

We’re an AAHA hospital! So you are probably wondering, “what is an AAHA hospital and why should I care?” The American Animal Hospital Association is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada. AAHA- hospitals voluntarily choose to be evaluated on standards in the following areas: quality of care; diagnostic & pharmacy; management; medical records; and facility.

Only about 15% of veterinary clinics in the US are AAHA accredited. Consultants regularly visit these hospitals to ensure compliance with AAHA’s standards for services and facilities.

Be that as it may, on the off chance that you have numerous associations associated with a similar system and each layer required extraordinary best wireless routers for office under $100 security then you need to pick top of the line Wireless Routers for Office in 2017

Accreditation helps veterinary hospitals stay on the leading edge of veterinary medicine and provide the quality and range of services you and your pet deserve.

In May, we underwent our regular AAHA inspection and were evaluated on over 900 standards.  We are proud to say that we once again received our accreditation, making this the 18th year that we have been recognized as an AAHA hospital! That means we really know our stuff!
