This week we are celebrating our Veterinary Assistants!

We want to give a HUGE shout-out to our amazing V.T.A.'s, we wouldn't be able to do what we do without them.

Our TA's - Lisa, Lia and Adrianna are a very important part of our team in all aspects. They can be found at reception helping our C.S.R. team answering phones, checking out clients, assisting with food and retail; in the exam rooms getting important history on patients for our vets; safely and comfortably restraining pets for exams, blood work and more; assisting our Techs in surgery and recovery, running lab work, and keeping the clinic clean and sanitary to keep all pets as safe as possible.

Thank you all so much for all that you do, you are so appreciated!

Did you know that ticks can be active in the winter if temperatures are above freezing?

They can survive the winter by hiding in leaf litter, brush, and under snow. Ticks are most active when temperatures are above 4°C (39°F) and are especially active in the fall and spring when temperatures change between summer and winter but with the warmer than usual temperatures recently, they can become active even throughout winter.

Ticks don't hibernate like many insects, they enter dormant stages, like eggs, deep in the soil and are often well insulated by leaf litter.

Ensure you are keeping your pets protected year round with a flea and tick preventative and avoiding high vegetation areas and locations that wildlife frequent as much as possible.
