🐾 We Recommend Pet Insurance – Here’s Why! 🐾
At SCVSEC, we’ve seen firsthand how pet insurance can make a big difference. It helps pet parents say “yes” to important treatments without the added stress of unexpected costs. 💸💉

While we don’t endorse any specific provider, we do encourage you to explore coverage options that fit your budget and your pet’s needs. It’s one of the best ways to plan for the unexpected and give your furry friend the care they need. 🐶🐱❤️

Happy World Baking Day! 🍪🧁🍰

Today we celebrate the joy of warm cookies, fresh bread, and all things baked! While you’re enjoying your favorite sweet treats, don’t forget – chocolate is toxic to pets.

Even small amounts can be dangerous for dogs and cats, so be sure to keep those goodies safely out of reach!

If your furry friend gets into something they shouldn’t, we’re here for you 24/7. Call us right away at 803-561-0015 – our emergency team is always ready to help.

Join us in welcoming Dr. Michelle Waschak and her surgery team to South Carolina Veterinary Specialists & Emergency Care!

Dr. Waschak is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons with over 28 years of experience as a board-certified veterinary surgeon. She has been proudly serving the Columbia area since 1998 and we couldn't be more excited to have her join us at SCVSEC!

Dr. Waschak has a special interest in oncology, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and advanced wound care procedures. For the past two decades, she has focused her clinical practice on the advancement of soft tissue surgical techniques, continually refining her skills to provide the highest level of care to her patients.

Outside of the operating room, Dr. Waschak enjoys life with her partner of over 22 years and a lively household of animals. She shares her home with Doyle, a loyal Rottweiler; PG, a spirited rescue Pit Bull; Master Roo, a charismatic rooster; Maggie/Sir Chirps-a-lot, a charming lovebird; and a quirky, quacking flock of ducks.

Welcome to the team!

🐾 Meet Milo! 🐶💙

This sweet 2-year-old pitbull mix came to SCVSEC in critical condition and needed immediate emergency care. After a thorough assessment, our amazing ER vet, Dr. Corlew, diagnosed him with anaphylactic shock - a life-threatening reaction that required fast action.

Thanks to the quick thinking, skill, and compassion of our Emergency team (plus lots of cuddles!), Milo pulled through. After two days of intensive care, he was strong enough to head home to his loving family.

We’re so happy to share Milo’s story and celebrate another happy ending! 🥹💙
