BRVC has donated cages for the new command center at California Veterinary Medical Reserve Corps (CAVMRC)!

Heatstroke is a term commonly used for hyperthermia or elevated body temperature. Generally speaking, if a pet’s body temperature exceeds 103°F (39.4°C), it is considered abnormal or hyperthermic. Body temperatures above 106°F (41°F) without previous signs of illness are most commonly associated with exposure to excessive external or environmental heat. The critical temperature where multiple organ failure and impending death occurs is 109°F (42.7°C).

Many pet parents don’t realize the severity of the threat these toxins pose to animals, and it’s easy to overlook. During this recent spike in blue-green algae cases, we want to make sure you have everything you need to know to keep pets safe.

As many of you know, due to our increasing caseload of emergency cases, it has been necessary for us to prioritize those daily appointments for the pets we see, and consequently, it is sometimes difficult for you to make a same-day or same-week appointment for non-emergency problems with your pets.

To all of my wonderful clients (and to all of their beloved furry friends), It is with some sadness and a good amount of nostalgia, that I'm writing to inform you that I have resigned from my position as veterinarian and medical director at Bishop Ranch. After 12 wonderful years, I have decided to move on to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my family.

As the number of pet owners with insurance has increased, so has our demand for claim submission.
