PSA: Ticks are STILL ACTIVE!! In the past week, we have removed at least 5 ticks from pets. Due to milder temperatures through winter, we recommend remaining on a flea/tick preventative year-round. Speak with us about how to keep your pet protected against these nasty creatures!

This October, we celebrate Registered Veterinary Technician Appreciation Month. We truly couldn't do it without these wonderful team-members. They are the ones keeping a watchful eye on your pet before, during and after surgery. Their lunch breaks are spent holding your four-legged friends as they wake from anesthesia, wrapped in towels and heating pads. From running labs, to calling clients to check in - they do it all ❤ Our clinic couldn't function without RVTs. We appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you Courtney, Jennifer and Natasha. A special shoutout to Jodi, an RVT and our practice manager. Next time you're in, don't forget to thank your technician!
