Today’s #FurryFriday are all of these adorable puppies who were recently spayed or neutered as part of our High-Quality/High-Volume Spay and Neuter Program that we offer to local rescue partners!
Join us tomorrow, May 11, at Mission Paw-looza to meet some of our rescue partners including Spot's Last Stop Canine Rescue, Pet Haven, Inc. of MN, Feline Rescue, Inc., and The Bitty Kitty Brigade! They’ll have adoptable pets there, so maybe you’ll meet your next furry family member!

My Third L
This year's Raise the Woof featured this moving piece by spoken word artist Brittany Delaney. Her words about the human-pet bond and the role that pets play in our lives moved us, and the entire Raise the Woof audience. ❤

Max’s owner noticed that he wasn’t feeling well and had low energy. He was hungry, but then would throw up after eating. Nervous that he’d eaten bird seed that caused an intestinal blockage, as he had in the past, his family brought him into Mission Animal Hospital. Our veterinarians examined little Max, and he went into emergency surgery and, sure enough, he’d eaten bird seed again!
His life-saving surgery and this #MissionMoment were made possible thanks to donor support! Watch more Mission Moments and make a donation to support accessible veterinary care at https://www.missionah.org/donate-max
Luca’s been coming to Mission Animal Hospital his entire life–literally! This beautiful German Shepard was born at Mission when his mom came in experiencing a dangerously difficult birth. His mom survived and went home with 12 newborn puppies! Now, his family drives past other animal hospitals to bring him to Mission Animal Hospital. Why? Because they know that Luca will get high-quality care here, and they’re passionate about Mission Animal Hospital’s commitment to making veterinary care more accessible.
Luca came in recently for a preventative procedure, and we captured his visit as part of our #MissionMoment series. Watch more Mission Moments and make a donation to support accessible veterinary care at https://www.missionah.org/donate-luca
These are the faces that we can’t let down.
Each year, Mission Animal Hospital sees nearly 25,000 pets come through our doors. Those pets rely on their families to provide care for them, but when veterinary care is out of reach, what then? We strive everyday to work towards a future where veterinary care is accessible to everyone, and no one needs to face heartbreaking decisions between their pet’s care and putting food on the table, paying rent, or going further into debt. We can’t let down our pets, and we can’t let down those in our community who need our help.
For this week’s #FurryFriday, we are honored to share this short video featuring just a few of the furry faces that rely on Mission. This video kicks off a series of #MissionMoments that we will continue to share with you.
February is #NationalPetDentalHealthMonth! Hear from Dr. Kelsey Bertamus, Mission's Hospital Director, about how to care for your pet's dental health!
Look at this wiggle! Our staff fell in love with Nico this week and we couldn’t help but share his puppy wiggles with you for #FurryFriday.
This little guy is just four months old, and is his parents first dog and their pride and joy! But he wasn’t feeling great (you wouldn’t guess that by these videos!) after nibbling on some household plants, which can be toxic. Energetic and mischievous puppies can easily get into things around the house that they shouldn’t! Our veterinarians were able to help Nico with some food and medication to settle his tummy. And his parents will make sure he doesn’t get into the houseplants again.
Over 99% of our clients report that they think of their pets as family. And their furry family members deserve to get the care they need, regardless of the family’s financial situation. We’re grateful for our donors who make sure that thousands of pets in need get the veterinary care they need.
It’s #FurryFriday and it also happens to be National Have Fun at Work Day! While some pets are nervous at the vet, this big fella, Tony, was ready to play–and our veterinary assistant Makayla was happy to oblige! Pets bring so much to our lives: love, companionship, comfort, and FUN! They can bring out the child in us and encourage us to play each day, which always makes the long or difficult days better. <3
How do you have fun with your pets?
Today is Change A Pet’s Life Day, and we’re spending the day hosting a high quality, high volume spay and neuter event for our rescue partners, @PetHavenMN and @bittykittybrigade. Our veterinarians will be spaying and neutering 59 cats and kittens today! For these cuties, being spayed and neutered is truly life changing, as it’s the final step to be ready for their fur-ever homes. ❤️🐱🏠#ChangeAPetsLifeDay2022
Did you know that today is National Cheese Lover’s Day? We sure know a lot of cheese lovers around here.
When pets are a little squirmy for their exam, or anxious about receiving an injection, we know that a little treat goes a long way. For many of our patients, that treat takes the form of a little bit of squeeze cheese. This sure worked like a charm for Scout here! Trust us, he wore the evidence of his love for cheese on his face after his treat too! 😂
This is a high-calorie treat, only to be used for special occasions, but works great as an alternative to peanut butter for folks with peanut allergies.
