🎃👻 Halloween is creeping closer! 👻🎃

As you and your furry goblins get ready for spooky fun, here are a few petrifyingly practical pet safety tips:

🐾 Keep candy bowls out of reach (we know you saw our chocolate warning already!)
🕯️ Watch those decorations - curious noses + candles or cords = trouble!
🚪 Trick-or-treaters mean open doors, make sure your pets stay safely inside or have updated ID tags.
🧛‍♀️ Costume check! Keep it comfy, not constricting; if your pet looks more “haunted” than happy, skip the outfit.

And a quick note from your PPVC team:
🕓 We’ll be closing early at 4:00 PM tomorrow (Oct 31) so our staff can enjoy some Halloween fun too!

Stay safe, have a fang-tastic Halloween, and don’t let your pets turn into little monsters! 💀🐶🐱

As Halloween approaches, it's essential for all pet owners to be aware of the potential dangers lurking in those tempting bags of sweets. Chocolate, a Halloween staple, can be highly toxic to our furry friends. Here's what you need to know to keep your dog safe:

🚫 No Chocolate Treats for Fido: Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can lead to symptoms of chocolate poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, and even seizures.

👁️ Keep Candy Out of Reach: Dogs have a knack for finding treats, so make sure all Halloween candy is stored securely, far away from your dog's access.

🏡 Secure the Trash: After your Halloween festivities, dispose of candy wrappers and leftovers securely. Dogs may be attracted to the scent, and ingesting wrappers can lead to blockages.

🐾 Know the Signs: Be vigilant for any signs of chocolate toxicity, such as restlessness, increased heart rate, panting, trembling, or excessive thirst. If you suspect your dog has ingested chocolate, call the office at 425-742-4444, opt 4. For after hours help please call the Pet Poison Hotline: (855) 764-7661 or ASPCA Poison Control: (888) 426-4435. Both open 24/7.

Today, during Vet Tech Week, we’re taking a moment to shout out two of the most essential people in our building: Linda and Jim, our incredible Client Service Representatives! 👏👏

They are the first voices you hear, the first smiles you see, and often the first to help when you're worried, confused, or just need reassurance. From calming anxious clients to juggling ringing phones and walk-ins at the same time, they keep the front running like a well-oiled machine, all while making it look easy (trust us, it’s not).

They field tough questions, manage packed schedules, and still find time to laugh with clients, support the team, and bring order to the daily chaos. Linda and Jim, you’re more than just receptionists, you are the heart of our front line and the anchors of our clinic family.

If you’ve ever been greeted with kindness, comforted during a hard visit, or helped through a tough call, chances are Linda or Jim were behind it.

💬 Drop a thank-you message below and show them some love!

🐾 Tech Week Spotlight: Our Veterinary Assistants!

Today we’re celebrating the true muscle and multitaskers of our clinic: our incredible Veterinary Assistants - Alyssa, Ash, Kenny, Dia, Molly, Sammi, Sofie, and Trena! (not all pictured here😊) 💪💙

These amazing individuals wear many hats. They clean. They monitor. They comfort. They assist everyone on the team from techs, to doctors, receptionists, clients, and most importantly, our patients. From the front lines to behind the scenes, they are the driving force behind our care, handling your pets with skill, patience, and genuine compassion every single day. 🐶🐾🐱

Whether it’s prepping for procedures, restraining during exams, keeping a watchful eye post-op, or ensuring our spaces are clean and safe, they are critical to everything we do. We literally couldn’t open our doors without them.

Please join us in giving them a big THANK YOU during Tech Week. Drop a 💙 or a kind word for this powerhouse team in the comments!

🐾 Happy Vet Tech Week! 🐾

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to our Licensed Veterinary Technicians, Chrissy and Jamie - the rockstars who keep our clinic running smoothly! These two are the heartbeat of our clinic with their steady hands, sharp minds, and compassionate souls behind the scenes.

LVTs are the highly trained, licensed professionals who work hand-in-hand with veterinarians to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care. It takes years of education (plus continuing education to maintain a license), clinical training, and a state licensing exam to earn the title of LVT, and it takes true passion and grit to do it every day. They do so much more than most people realize! Their expertise ensures every pet receives safe, skilled, and compassionate care. Whether they’re managing the flow of a busy day, inducing an animal for surgery, or giving comfort to a nervous pet, they bring excellence to every moment.

To our LVTs Chrissy and Jamie: thank you for your leadership, your heart, and your incredible work ethic. Your dedication and leadership don’t go unnoticed and PPVC is so lucky to have you both! THANK YOU! 💗

🐾 October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
There are thousands of dogs in shelters right now waiting for a second chance and maybe even a forever nap spot on your couch. 🐕💛

Adopting a shelter dog means giving love, safety, and happiness to a pup who needs it most and they’ll repay you with a lifetime of tail wags, loyalty, and licks. 🐶

If you're thinking about expanding your pack, consider adopting from a local shelter or rescue group this month. Need help getting started? We’re happy to connect you with organizations we trust. 💬

Already adopted a shelter dog?
📸 Share their photo and tag us! We’d love to celebrate them!

We’re feeling the love! 💙 We’re so grateful for your trust in our team over the years, it means the world to us! 🐾

Our Practice Manager made and delivered care packages to local groomers and pet stores; a small way for us to say thank you to the amazing local businesses who go above and beyond for pets every day. Here's to supporting each other and keeping Snohomish County’s pets happy and healthy! 🐶🐱

You stock the treats and toys galore,
And all the goodies pets adore.
You help their humans make the choice,
That brings their wagging tails a voice.
You wash, you trim, you fluff with flair,
You calm the nerves, you clean the hair.
From wagging tails to fluffy feet,
Your work is kind, precise, and sweet.
This package holds a few small things,
For pups, for staff, for human beings.
Some funny, some edible, some practical too,
Ultimately to say we truly value you!
If ever your clients need vet care,
We’d love to help, you know we’re there!

We wanna give a shout out to our amazing neighbors at Puget Park Vet for sending us this super cute package of goodies!
