Happy Holidays from our family to yours!🎄

✨We hope that you all have an amazing holiday season with your friends and family. We plan on soaking this extra time up with our pets! 🥰

The holidays have arrived✨! We want to make sure that your pet has a safe and happy holiday. Here are some tips to keep in mind while you are celebrating:

🍗 Avoid Feeding Table Scraps: Those tempting leftovers might seem like a treat, but some foods can be toxic to pets and cause tummy trouble or worse. Stick to pet-safe treats!

🎀 Keep Decor Out of Reach: Plants, candy, ribbons, and other decorations can be hazardous if ingested. Keep them in pet-free zones to avoid any mishaps.

🏡 Designate a Calm Space: With all the hustle and bustle, give your pet a quiet spot to retreat to. A cozy, familiar place can help them relax amidst the festivities.

🕯️ Mind the Candles: Those flickering candles might add ambiance, but they should be placed safely away from wagging tails or curious pets to prevent accidents.

🌿 Toxic Holiday Plants to Avoid:
- Mistletoe
- Holly
- Poinsettias
- Pine Needles (from Christmas trees)
- Water from the base of Christmas trees

Let's ensure a joyful and safe holiday season for our pets! 🐶🐱 If you have any concerns or suspect your pet has ingested something harmful, contact us, or the emergency clinic as soon as possible!

Thank you for your kind words, Jess! ❤❤❤

When you have a sick pup it is all of the big things AND all of the little things that matter…Look at these tiny little socks my boy, Archer, was wearing after his surgery on Thursday.

Thank you Oakridge Animal Clinic/Oak West Animal Clinic for giving my dogs world class care. Your team is like no other💙

If your pup is in need of a professional vet team look no further.

✨Say hello to Toby and his adorable hat!

Toby's talented mama made this beautiful hat without any pattern! She made the hat so that Toby's ears fit through it comfortably, and it sits perfectly on his little head. We didn't think Toby could be any cuter, but this hat managed to do it! 😍🥰

We are glad that Toby is staying warm this December! Say hi to him in the comments below 👇
