Its beginning to look alot like Christmas! This year we decided to do something a little different with decorating our tree. Every bulb is a memory ornament of a pet we lost this year. We would like to invite all clients and especially those who lost a loved one to stop by our open house Saturday December 14th from 11am to 1 pm. Come share some memories over warm cider and treats. If you have an ornament hanging on the tree we would love for you to take it home to hang on your tree for the holiday season.

Something exciting is happening. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Watch and see!!

Take a tour around the outside of the clinic!!!

Play date at the vet. #layla #izzy. #spoiledgirls

#izzy. no words needed!

Last week this little lady came in barking and raising her hair at us. Her mom says she does this with all strangers. We spent a little extra time to make her feel comfortable and gain our trust! By the time she left she was greeting strangers in the lobby and begging for treats! We encourage happy visits to stop by if your pet is scared at the vet! Let’s show them it’s not all bad!!!

This is Monte....He belongs to Elizabeth our technician. I’ve watched this video over and over because it makes me smile and laugh! He is the sweetest little guy but he tries to sound so big and bold with his facial expressions and noises! Enjoy!!!
