The vet hospital's goal is to provide a reliable source of veterinary care information to busy pet owners by posting daily updates to their Facebook feed. The pet clinic, established in 1964, is fully accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) providing routine wellness care, vaccinations, surgical care and dental care.
Dr. Tim Holloway announced that his practice actively uses Facebook to communicate with pet owners, sharing pet wellness news and building an online pet care community.
"Between work and family demands on our daily lives, time is at a premium!" said Dr. Holloway. "Facebook is a wonderful tool for staying connected with pet owners and sharing important pet wellness news. If a pet is healthy, we may only see that pet once or twice a year for a wellness exam and vaccinations. Regular Facebook communication with pet owners helps us transform this relationship and reinforces our commitment to preventive care."
Dr. Holloway, along with the Jacksonville veterinary care team at the , places a strong emphasis on preventive care. Just like in humans, pets benefit from regular check-ups, diagnostic tests and routine vaccinations.

"From pet proofing a home to seasonal care, at-home care can truly make a difference for a pet's overall health," said Dr. Holloway. "As a veterinarian, I am thrilled to use Facebook to regularly communicate with pet owners, and share tips for at-home care."
These tips include how to handle summer heat and how to pet proof a home for holidays or family gatherings. The practice also posts veterinary news updates. Recent posts include the benefits of spaying and neutering, helping pets with pollen allergies, treating intestinal parasites, and at-home exercise and nutrition.
Dr. Holloway said that the animal hospital also uses Facebook for interactive dialogues with patients. "Facebook is also a great way for a pet owner to post a quick care question," said Dr. Holloway. "While calling our vet hospital is always best in the event of an emergency, we can easily answer a simple care question on Facebook. This is more convenient for pet owners, and it lets them post the questions at their convenience, even if it is after office-hours. Many pet owners face similar issues, and once one person posts a question, others frequently add their own concerns to the topic. We love having a pet care discussion on Facebook!"
