Whoops, we almost missed it. Here is it: almost 9pm. Making a post about National Love Your Pet Day....so, not to offend anyone, but I'm about to share a secret. Shhhhhhh......At Newberry Animal Hospital.... we love your pets EVERYDAY. There. I said it. So this just seems a little, um...I don't know--let's say CRAZY--that there would even BE a day that you didn't love your pet. And if you are busy, we will do it for you. But if you DO have a day where you didn't feel we

So many people use Google Reviews or Facebook recommendations when choosing to be a patron of a local business.

They might want to know if our animal hospital does cat declawing, or how much do we charge for a pet exam, or what is the cost for a dog teeth cleaning? Others may want to know if we have the Nexg ard rebate available, or whether we give

It's always an exciting time for us when we get to add a new doctor to our staff. We have a lot going on at our 39th Ave location, as many of you know. One of the exciting changes to announce today is that Dr. Corlett is joining our team again. She is a “double Gator”, which means that both her undergraduate and Doctorate degrees came from the University of Florida. Many of you will recognize Dr. Corlett, because she previously worked at Newberry Animal Hospital as a techn

General Information Lyme disease is zoonotic meaning that it can affect both humans and animals. Lyme’s disease is transmitted through tick bites and primarily the Deer tick.

The weather is getting warmer and your four legged best friend is ready to get outside to play. It's a great time to incorporate new activities for you and your pet to get into shape. Whether your pet is perfectly trained and plays fetch, or just likes to run around in the back yard, there's plenty of things you can do together. Gainesville has several dog friendly parks to visit and romp with other active dogs. Long, slow walks are great for older dogs and helps them keep th

Have you visited our website page highlighting our efforts in the local community? Our hospital (and it's doctors) are individually and collectively involved in many wonderful student and non-profit programs in the Gainesville and Newberry area.

March 13 is National K9 Veterans Day!  ​​ ​This day is​ set aside to salute all our American veterans with four legs. Trained canines or K9 Corps have played a crucial role in our military for many years. The American military did not use canines prior to Pearl Harbor. During the first World War,​​ soldiers began noticing the European use of canines as message carriers and sentries. Dogs for Defense was the original organization that provided dogs to our military. Founder

Everyone has heard about national doughnut or taco day, but have you heard that February 23 is National Dog Biscuit Day AND International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day?? Is it biscuit? Or bisquit? We found both... It only makes sense that our four legged friends would get their own national day for their special treats. Yum. What kind of biscuits do most dogs like? Crunchy peanut butter cookies or soft pumpkin treats? No matter what your dogs preference, there are plenty of

Looking for a cool way to spend National Love Your Pet Day? Here are some ideas: 1. Try something new! Got a dog? Take your dog to one of Gainesville's pet-friendly parks, or a local dog-park. Go when it's not too busy if it's his first time. Dogs love to smell and explore new places, so try Hogtown Creek, or one of the near-by springs. For older dogs or those with joint issues, swimming can be a great alternative. (By the way, our Dog Dayz swim event at Westside Pool is on
