One of our parade winners 2009

     Since 2000, here at the Newtown Veterinary Hospital, we hold a Pet Fair on our property in September.  The day's events are always so enjoyable that we look forward to them all year.  Many local animal rescue groups come and join us, as do different service groups.
     In the past, we have had the local animal emergency services, Warminster K9 unit, and various search and rescue organizations come for the event. The K9 unit and search and rescue groups have even put on demonstrations for those who join us.
     Our parade is always the culminating event of the day. Everyone is invited to sign up for it. Different categories in the past have been: Owner/Pet Look Alike, Best Costume, Shortest Dog, Longest Ears, and Cutest Couple.
     There are parade prizes, raffles, a face painter, and much more every year.

     Members of our veterinary care team from Newtown Veterinary Hospital participate in Career Fairs at many of the local schools. Students can talk one on one with our doctors and technicians about careers in veterinary medicine. Topics discussed include academic requirements, local colleges and universities that offer veterinary programs, and the ins and and outs of a career in the animal field. If you attend, be sure to stop by our table as we always bring along lots of fun facts, interesting radiographs, and sometimes a few of our animal friends!
 


     As a member of the Newtown Business and Professional Association, we participate in Welcome Day each year. The different businesses gather on State Street on a Saturday in May. Each one discusses what they do. Restaurants in the area provide food at their own stands, and there are usually music groups or a DJ. It is a good day for all to meet the community and get to know one another. For more information go to www.newtownbpa.org

 

 


Dr. Summers with a Brownie troop
     Our hospital provides tours for local scout groups. One of our technicians guide the children through the inner workings of our facilities. The scouts are shown how an examination is performed with the help of one of our veterinarians and told how operations are completed. X-rays are viewed and medical equipment is studied. The tours end with a Question and Answer session.
     Tours can be scheduled by our office manager. The tours are usually between 3pm and 5pm on selected days. We do not perform them on Mondays or Weekends. There is a limit of 10 children per tour (this includes the scouts and any additional siblings that may join us that day). Troops that have more children will be split into smaller groups and tour on separate days.
     If you would like to schedule a tour for your troop, please contact us at (215) 968-3895.

Greyhound Walk

Newtown Veterinary Hospital is the premier sponsor of the Greyhound Freedom Run held the first Sunday of every November. Proceeds benefit Citizens Against Greyhound Racing, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Doylestown, PA. CAGR's mission is to promote the greyhound as a highly esteemed companion animal and to protect the breed by ending specific abuses, including its use as a racing dog and as a subject of medical research.

Volunteers from Hope for the Animals, C.A.R.E.S. and here at our hospital joined in the clinic above held in January 2010

Spay/Neuter Clinic

     NVH is proud to partner with CARES (Center for Animal Referral and Emergency Service) and Hope for the Animals for monthly spay/neuter clinics.
     During these clinics, which occur on the third Sunday of every month, doctors and staff come in and volunteer their time to help spay and neuter animals that Hope for the Animals have up for adoption. CARES provides the anesthesia and NVH provide the staff and time.
February was our first clinic and it was a smashing success! We thank all staff members who came and helped out!

 


Devon and a class in  2009

     High School science classes often come to observe our doctors at work. Many times they come and watch Dr. Timothy Ireland while he performs surgeries. They are usually here from 2 to 4 hours, observing all aspects of a surgery day.
     If you would like to have members of your biology classes come and observe, please contact our Practice Manager, Trish at (215) 958-3895. She will be happy to schedule a time which is convenient to all.
 
     Many times children show an eagerness to learn about veterinary medicine and an inclination to one day be a Veterinarian. Dr. Ireland loves to have them shadow him for a few hours here at the hospital. We have a Groundhog Shadow Day with a local school, where students come and watch him work. They have the opportunity to follow him through a morning of appointments. They observe routine exams, blood work, x-rays, and more. It is a wonderful chance for them to see what veterinary medicine is all about. Scheduling a shadow day can be done with our Practice Manager, Trish, or with Dr. Ireland himself at (215) 968-3895.
