  "Best Veterinarians in Atlanta" 
The Village Vets wins "The Best Veterinarians in 2013" in Kudzu.com's "Best Of" contest. Clients from each of our TVV locations voted for their prospective TVV hospital and your votes were heard.  Without your support and your trust in the care we provide for your loving pets, we would not be who and what we are.
YOU
make us The Best!!

Cats are notorious for jumping on holiday trees, swatting at ornaments as if they were mice, and seeking out the warmth of a lit fireplace or candle.  Although a beautiful and festive time of the year, there is an increased risk for hazardous events during the holiday season.  Following are a few tips on preventing holiday mishaps with your curious and adventuresome feline.

The Power of Empathy-Driven Innovation
 
Brian and his Staffordshire terrier Cameron

Brian Easter, CEO of The Nebo Agency (an Atlanta-based Internet
marketing company) and a long time friend and client of The Village Vets, recently used the example of TVV's approach to client-first innovation in their company's blog. There's even a quote from Dr. Will Draper.   

Is Trifexis Safe For Your Dog?

About a month ago, the first news story aired about the safety of Elanco's heartworm and flea product, Trifexis.  As we stated then, and continue to now, TVV stands by Trifexis.  Please review Dr. Will Draper's original statement on this important matter.  Like you, we want only the safest and most effective products and medications for your important family members and hope that you continue to know and trust that this will always be our number one priority.

FDA Study Results on Raw Pet Food Diets
In a recent two-year study, the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine screened over 1,000 samples of pet food for bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses. The study showed that, compared to other types of pet food tested, raw pet food was more likely to be contaminated with disease-causing bacteria.
