We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Khandu Om of Gangtey Spring Waters for her generous contribution towards the purchase of a tablet for the National Veterinary Hospital.

This thoughtful donation will greatly support our hospital’s efforts in data entry and record management through the Veterinary Information System (VIS), helping us move towards more efficient, accessible, and streamlined digital services.

Beyond the tablet itself, the contribution is an investment in the digitalisation and strengthening of veterinary healthcare services in Bhutan. It will help our team maintain better records, improve information management, and ultimately enhance the quality and efficiency of services provided to our clients and their animals.

We sincerely appreciate your kindness and support towards the National Veterinary Hospital. Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a more modern, efficient, and digitally connected veterinary service. Paro Gangtey Springs

Found Dog – Please Help Locate the Owner

This sweet German Shepherd was found near the Hanger Store area in Motithang at around 8:00 PM. The dog is wearing a blue collar and is microchipped.

Unfortunately, our VIS system is currently down, so we are unable to trace the owner’s details despite the microchip.

The dog appears frightened but is safe and is currently being cared for at NVH.

If the dog in the photo and the description match your pet or one you recognize, please contact NVH or visit the Emergency at NVH as soon as possible so we can reunite the dog with its owner.

Please share this post to help us find the owner.

Public Announcement

A dog has been observed roaming freely in the Lower Changangkha area following reports from residents. Free-roaming owned dogs pose risks to public safety, including dog bite incidents and the transmission of diseases such as rabies.

All pet owners are reminded of their responsibility to ensure proper control and management of their animals at all times. Dogs must not be allowed to roam unattended in public areas.

The concerned owner is hereby requested to take immediate responsibility for the dog and ensure appropriate confinement, supervision, and care.

Failure to comply may result in the dog being treated as a stray, after which it may be captured, sterilized, and transferred to a designated shelter as per prevailing regulations.

Non-compliance not only compromises animal welfare standards but also undermines broader public health and responsible pet ownership initiatives.

Your cooperation is essential to maintain community safety and uphold responsible pet ownership practices.

The National Veterinary Hospital celebrated World Veterinary Day today in the presence of the team conducting the ongoing biorisk assessment for veterinary laboratories. World Veterinary Day is observed annually on the last Saturday of April. This year’s theme, “Veterinarians: Guardians of Food Safety and Health,” highlights the critical and far-reaching role of veterinary services in ensuring food safety, food security, public health, and animal health across the globe.

On this occasion, we extend our warm wishes to all livestock personnel and veterinary professionals, and sincerely applaud their invaluable contributions many of which often go unnoticed. Your dedication remains fundamental to protecting both animal and public health.

The celebration served not only as a moment to recognize the commitment and hard work of veterinary professionals, but also as an opportunity to raise awareness about the essential role we play in society.

The event was generously sponsored by The Pema by Realm. We express our heartfelt gratitude for their support and for acknowledging the important work carried out by veterinary professionals.

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE: CANINE PARVOVIRUS OUTBREAK 🚨

The National Veterinary Hospital would like to inform the general public of an ongoing increase in parvovirus cases being presented at our facility.

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease that primarily affects unvaccinated puppies and dogs. The virus spreads easily through direct contact with infected dogs, as well as contaminated surfaces, equipment, clothing, and footwear.

Measures Implemented at the Hospital:

* Strict triage protocols have been established for all incoming patients to identify and separate suspected cases immediately.
* The entire hospital premises, including consultation rooms, vaccination rooms, wards, and equipment, are undergoing frequent and thorough disinfection using appropriate virucidal agents.
* Confirmed and suspected cases are being treated in designated isolation wards with dedicated staff and equipment.

Important Advisory for Pet Owners:

* Routine sterilization (spay/neuter) services, normally conducted every Tuesday and Thursday, is temporarily suspended until further notice.
* Avoid bringing healthy pets to the hospital unless absolutely necessary.
* Do not leash-walk your dogs to the hospital. Instead, transport them in secure pet carriers to reduce environmental contamination.
* Ensure your pets are fully vaccinated.
* Avoid taking your dogs to public areas such as parks or places where dogs congregate during this period.
* Practice good hygiene: disinfect footwear, wash hands thoroughly after handling pets, and avoid contact with sick animals.

Signs of Parvovirus Infection Include:

* Severe vomiting
* Bloody diarrhea
* Lethargy and weakness
* Loss of appetite
* Fever

If your pet shows any of these signs, seek veterinary care immediately.

We kindly request the cooperation of all pet owners in adhering to these guidelines to help control the spread of infection and protect the wider animal community.

Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
