and last but certainly not least in any way- we're spotlighting our newest (relatively) CSR: Kaylin!
Kaylin has been a superstar, and wonderful addition to the team!
She is so warm, and caring in how she greets clients and patients alike, she makes everyone feel welcomed!
She is always joking around with the back too, and there is always laughter in the hospital when she's here. We always appreciate having her here, and she's a wonderful hard worker, and so kind. Feel free to drop pictures below of adorable patients, or comment how she's made your visits better! Thank you for everything!

Today we're spotlighting- Caleigh!
Caleigh is a wonderful CSR, who has been cross training to become a Vet Assistant too! She spends most days in reception, but we're hoping that will change soon, and you can see more of her in rooms!
She is so talented and is a wonderful assistant, and great CSR.
She is always bright and ready to help up front, and is ready to help her team in anyway.
She is also so compassionate- she has been the guiding force behind some our community projects- like participating in Toys for Tots!
Thank you for all you do, and your big heart!

We couldn't do this without them! We appreciate each of you!

She is our CSR lead, and does a wonderful job keeping everything flowing well, from ordering, schedules, paw plans, accounting, training and much much more- she is always dedicated to her team.
She is bright, caring, and hilarious- always making her team laugh, and cheering them up.
We appreciate everything you do, and can't thank you enough!

It's that time of year again, where we spot light our wonderful and talented CSR/Reception team and all the hard work they do!
We appreciate them every single day but this week we take time to share how wonderful they are with everyone!
Client Service Representatives are the back bone of our hospital- not only are they serving our clients, and assisting with booking, questions, and check-ins, they're a friendly face during stressful times, they help make patients more comfortable and are the first point of contact ensuring a great visit, they help their teams in the back, and relay important information to ensure you have the most comprehensive and caring visit possible.
They are so kind, knowledgeable, and empathetic- it cannot be overstated how much they do and the difference they make!
They help keep our days flowing smoothly and ensuring we're able to provide the utmost care to our patients.
Thank you for all you do ladies!

🐰🥚 To our friends who celebrate, Happy Easter!​

While you’re enjoying your chocolate eggs, remember to keep those sweet treats out of paw’s reach and stick to pet-friendly goodies instead.​

Friendly reminder that chocolate, especially dark chocolate and products containing cocoa, can be dangerous to pets, even in small amounts.​

Wishing you a safe & hoppy holiday!​

With spring break and BBQs around the corner, there is an added risk of pets making their way outdoors. For their safety, we strongly recommend microchipping!

Microchipping your pet is a simple, safe, and effective way to ensure they can always find their way home. The procedure, done at our office, is quick and painless.

If your pet is already chipped – make sure all of your information is up to date. Contact us to get your pet microchipped today, peace of mind is just one small chip away!

Lyme disease can be very serious for pets. Not only can it health problems later in lyme after exposure, such as Lyme Arthritis, but tick exposure and lyme can cause short term health issues too, like tick paralysis- which is typically treatable and responds rapidly but can require hospitalization, and even ventilation/assisted breathing during treatment.

The best way to prevent lyme disease, is to prevent tick exposure- which will help prevent a host of other illnesses contracted from ticks too: like Ehrlichiosis (ehrlichia spp), Anaplasmosis (Anaplasma canis), Babesiosis (babesia canis), heptazoonosis (heptazoon canis).
And the best way to prevent tick exposure is monthly preventions: such as nexgard, simparica, vectra, revolution, or Bravecto- which is every 3 months.

There is also a lyme (borrelia) vaccine. This vaccine is a once per year vaccine after completing the initial shot and booster 3-4 weeks later. We do offer the lyme vaccine here at Centralia for our patients- if this is something you are interested in, please let us know during your next visit!

Lastly, if you live in a tick-heavy area, its never a bad idea to have a pest company treat your yard, and surrounding area with pet safe products to reduce the tick exposures as well.

The face we are all making with allergy season here! 😆

If your pet is showing signs of seasonal allergies; scratching, licking, chewing, scooting, ear discharge, hair loss, watery or itchy eyes, or skin changes, please reach out to us.

Severe allergies can lead to secondary skin infections – which is why treating them is so important. We have options in place to help ease your pet’s symptoms so they can feel like themselves again!

We always strive improve the experience of our patients, and now we have a new tool to the hospital- if you have a cat, and have an upcoming visit, we now have Feliway sprayed towels available in the lobby!
Any cat visitor can use these towels, so please take one!
As soon as you check in you can ask our receptionist to pass you one, or they'll be out in the lobby for use!
HOW? These work two-fold. One by draping over their carrier, reducing their stressful visual stimuli, and reducing noise that can be stressful, and two- the pheromones in feliway reduces stress and anxiety in cats, leading to calmer, happier visits!
And when you're done, your vet assistant will take the towel to laundry, or you can return it to the receptionist. It's that easy!

We've so enjoyed having Madie be part of the team, as she's so bright, and silly. She's always willing to help when asked, and loves seeing all our furry friends. She's also learning about exotics with Dr. Molly, and has been doing great!
She's come so far in a short amount of time, and is always ready to learn more! Thank you for all you bring to Centralia, and have a wonderful weekend!!!
