🩺🐱 Protect your feline friend from panleukopenia, a dangerous and often fatal disease. This highly contagious virus attacks a cat’s immune system and intestines.

Make sure your cat is up-to-date with their shots to ensure their health and happiness. 🐾

We’re in the process of saying goodbye to two of our very loved employees. Cheyenne has been working with Pet Care Clinic and the Animal Emergency Clinic for 7 years, and she’s off to grad school at Appalachian State for speech pathology! We are so sad she’s leaving, but so proud of her and we wish her the best in her schooling!

Ali is wrapping up her undergraduate degree at Appalachian State, and receiving her BS in Veterinary Technology. Her next steps are to receive her diploma, then sit for her Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) to obtain licensure. She’s moving back home to Florida to be closer to family, and we’re so happy and proud of her! 💜🫶🏼

These standards cover various aspects of veterinary practice including patient care, diagnostics, pharmacy, surgery, medical records, facility cleanliness, and more. Clinics that achieve AAHA accreditation demonstrate their commitment to providing exceptional veterinary care and continuously improving their practices to benefit the pets they serve.
