Run With The Dogs - 5k

Come out on January 12, 2013 at 9:00 am in downtown Decatur to run in the annual "Run With The Dogs" Frostbite 5k.  Located in front of Decatur High School and directly across the street from TVV Decatur, this very popular, annual 5k run draws a crowd of runners and spectators. All race proceeds benefit the Decatur Bulldog Boosters.  The DBB support all sports and athletic activities at Decatur High School and Renfroe Middle School.

Start the new year off on the right foot (and paw) running through the city streets of Decatur with (or without) your canine running partner.  Preregister and learn more information about the race at the link below.  As usual, TVV Decatur will be on hand at the event to provide pet care as needed..  We look forward to seeing many of our two-legged and four-legged friends amongst this fun and energetic crowd.

Laser Therapy at TVV Decatur

 

laser therapy
TVV Decatur is now offering Companion Laser Therapy.  Laser therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses light to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood circulation.  It is an alternative healing and pain control treatment for pets and can be used to treat wounds, dermatology cases, osteoarthritis, and post-surgery pain management.  It enhances the healing process, reduces pain and inflammation and offers a drug-free alternative for treating acute or chronic conditions.  If you think your pet may benefit from laser therapy, or you would like to find out more about laser therapy, please contact your veterinarian today.

The Sissy and Sassie Fund 
At TVV Lilburn-Stone Mountain

 


TVV Lilburn-Stone Mountain has true friends in the pet-loving, pet-rescuing world.  Two such people began the Sissy & Sassie Fund over five years ago - and to this day it continues to be there when a pet needs them most. 

Sissy and Sassie - shown above - are patients at our Lilburn-Stone Mountain hospital. While still a puppy,  Sassie was diagnosed with a serious liver shunt.  Fortunately, the surgery she needed to resolve this condition was a success.  Following this experience, her owners were inspired to think of other pets - either homeless or whose owners are unable to afford extensive medical treatment.  They knew without treatment Sassie would not be here today and knowing that lack of money could have prevented them from saving their precious pug they began the Sissy and Sassie Fund.   

 

For our Lilburn-Stone Mountain clients - if you would like to offer your help in raising money for the Sissy and Sassie Fund, add a dollar donation to the payment of your invoice.  Your donation will be much appreciated!!

 

Please contact TVV Lilburn-Stone Mountain for more details at 770-717-1650.
