The passing of a house cat in Oregon, along with a pet food recall, has brought attention to the ongoing spread of bird flu and how pet owners can safeguard their animals.

Most of us tuck our pet’s food and water bowls out of sight (and out of mind)! It’s easy to forget that their bowls, fountains, etc. can collect bacteria much like our own dishes. How often should you clean your pet’s food and water bowls? We’ve got the answers for you.

We are thrilled to share that our communities have spoken and BLVD Vet has been nominated in the Best Veterinarian Category for the Chicago Reader's Best of 2024 awards! We were delighted to win in 2022 and would love the chance to share it with our team again this year. If you fancy, vote for us to bring home the title.

Our own Dr. Courville stopped by WGN Morning Weekend News to discuss some around-the-house holiday pet hazards.

December 3rd, 2024 is Giving Tuesday! We are pleased to share that we are hosting a fundraiser for our Rescue Partner, Live Like Roo. BLVD Vet will be matching up to $500 in donations made from Tuesday, December 3rd to Tuesday, December 10th.

Understanding your pet’s unique love language can deepen the connection you share and offer valuable insights into their behavior. It can also be a game-changer during training sessions, as it helps you identify what motivates your furry friend the most—whether that’s verbal praise, a gentle touch, or tasty treats.
