A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made our 1st Annual VVC Fredericksburg Support Staff CE Conference such a success!

From our passionate attendees, to our generous sponsors, and incredibly knowledgeable speakers — your contributions made this event truly impactful. Our speaker presentations included a wide variety of topics including respiratory distress, chemotherapy safety, AI in veterinary medicine, bereavement, and many more. We also had labs including bandaging, mechanical ventilation, and dental and facial blocks. We want to thank our speakers for providing such interesting and diverse topics, and our attendees for such great engagement and dialogue.

Together, we advance the future of veterinary care through collaboration, education, and community. We’re already looking forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better!

Meet Bugsy — also known as “Mister B,” “Tiny Prancer,” or “BoBo,” depending on the day! 🐾

Bugsy is a 14-year-old chi-pug who has visited VVC’s Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Dentistry teams this year. Most recently, he saw Dr. Babbitt in Dentistry for an oral mass.

Thanks to our cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology, our Dentistry team was able to generate detailed 3D images of Bugsy’s teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures — including bone, soft tissue, and nerve pathways. CBCT offers several advantages over traditional CT, including lower radiation exposure and improved spatial resolution in certain cases.

Bugsy’s oral mass turned out to be benign (🎉), but the cone-beam imaging also revealed cracked and nonviable teeth that needed to be removed. After his procedure, Bugsy started enjoying meals again, and his overall quality of life improved noticeably. ❤️

Thank you to Dr. Babbitt in Dentistry, Dr. D**g in Internal Medicine, Dr. Mercurio in Surgery, and all the treatment staff at VVC for helping this sweet senior pup get the pep back in his step!

Celebrating Vet Tech Week at VVC Fredericksburg! 🐾

This week, we honor our Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs), the skilled, compassionate professionals who are the backbone of our emergency team.

Whether it's managing critical cases, monitoring anesthesia, or providing comfort to worried pet parents, our LVTs rise to the occasion every day (and night!). We are incredibly grateful to them for their dedication, resilience, and care.

In keeping with this year's Vet Tech Appreciation Week theme of, "Paths to Success: Shining a Light on Credentialed Veterinary Technician Stars", we would like to highlight one of our licensed vet techs, Stephanie, and her dog Kodama!

Kodama is Stephanie's two-year-old working line English Cocker Spaniel (or “Wocker”). Kodama is a true athlete — he’s currently training and competing in Agility, Barn Hunt, Fast CAT, and Flyball. He’s also learning dock diving, trick training, and how to carry his duck wings!

Kodama recently earned his Novice Agility Jumpers Title 🎉👏

When he’s not competing, Kodama loves pack hikes with his housemates, making friends with any dog willing to join the fun, and running around with his horse friend, Dance. And after all that excitement, he’s Stephanie’s best cuddler by far. ❤️

Thank you for sharing, Stephanie! We love getting to see the passions and adventures that make our team so unique!

Thanksgiving is almost here! While we’re excited about the delicious feast ahead, it’s important to understand which foods are toxic for pets.

Keep your cats and dogs away from:
🦃 Stuffing – as it may contain onions or garlic
🦃 Ham and other Pork – can cause pancreatitis, upset stomach, or diarrhea
🦃 Turkey – Dogs should only have a little bit of meat, no skin or seasoning
🦃 Turkey Bones – splinters may cause indigestion or bowel obstruction
🦃 Mashed Potatoes – may have been prepared with butter and dairy
🦃 Salads with Grapes/Raisins – can cause kidney failure
🦃 Chocolate Desserts – toxic to both cats and dogs

As a reminder, VVC Fredericksburg will be open all day on Thanksgiving and Black Friday should your pet experience an emergency.
