Fun Fact!! Kristen also works as a librarian at the Vilonia Public Library and previously she was enlisted in the Air Force! She's been with the VAC since 2021 where she helps cuddle the fur babies that come to see us and she also provides some sage advice when needed. She says most of her pets found her on their own and this is especially true of her best boy, Remi. She refers to him as The Dog Who Chose Me. Kristen loves animals (of course!), books, plants, yarn, art, pictures of mushrooms, plants, flowers, turtles and most of all, her children. Happy Happy birthday Kristen! We love you!

We carry CET chews in the clinic, but they can also be ordered on our online pharmacy, Vetsource!

Why do we love them?? Because CET chews have an abrasive texture and an enzyme that reduces plaque and tartar build up. Chewing on a CET chew daily will keep your dog's breath fresh, teeth cleaner and extend the time between professional dental cleanings.

Don't let your guard down! Over the past couple of weeks we've noticed more snake bites than usual for May coming into the clinic for treatment. Please use caution as the weather warms up and the snakes start to move around a little more. Remember most snakes main goal is to just stay hidden. Unfortunately sometimes they hide themselves a little too well and our pets run across them accidentally.

Looking for more information? Here's a great article from Texas A&M about what to look for and what to do if your pet is bitten by a snake.

Unlike some other injuries or illnesses where first aid measures can be used at home, all snake bites require immediate veterinary attention.
