Greetings!
As we all know, health care has been a major issue in
the news this year. As the saying goes, "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure". The fact is, for
both people and their pets, preventing diseases and
making an effort to stay as healthy as we can is
actually more cost-effective than treating disease. At
The Village Vets we believe taking a preventive,
wellness care approach is an important step toward
keeping our pets as healthy as we can and we do so
by providing individualized wellness and preventive
care
plans for every pet we see.

Pets experience the world in ways humans have a
hard time understanding. An animal's finely tuned
senses enhance survival in the wild, and with pets,
sometimes those senses and instincts will lead to
what we consider inappropriate or even dangerous
responses.
Take some pets reaction to thunderstorms - with their
various noises, flashing lights, rumbling thunder,
barometric pressure and ionic shifts, smells, wind,
and rain - they can be scary.

Conveniently located in downtown
Decatur, Animal Emergency Center of Decatur
(AECD) provides after hour and holiday
emergency pet care 7 days a week. AECD
shares space with The Village Vets of Decatur
