🐾Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week🐾

I recently asked the team to tell me a time in their veterinary medicine career that felt impactful and positive to them. Sara’s answer was one I think all of the team can appreciate:
“When we do a life saving surgery and the pet goes on to live a long happy life.”
Sara is our Lead Veterinary Assistant responsible for leading the surgery team as well as overseeing patient care in all areas of the hospital. She helps manage the maintenance of our many lab machines and surgerical equipment and is one of our laser therapy safety enforcers.
Sara, we are so grateful for all the roles you fill in our hospital ♥️

🐾Happy National Vet Tech Appreciation Week🐾

Have you met our Certified Veterinary Technician, Shelby, yet? She is one of our fantastic surgery team nurses in charge of your pet's anesthesia and surgery recovery needs. She is incredibly smart and talented and we are so lucky to have her at our hospital. When she is not at Happy Valley Vet, you can find her at one of the local veterinary ERs using her skills to help critical patients.
The schooling and hands-on training she worked so hard for awarded her a license to provide care to her patients in the state of Oregon for treatment services such as rabies vaccine administration, hands on surgical assistance, client education, and so much more.
Thank you for everything you do for our patients Shelby! It is a joy to have you on our team. ❤️

To kick off our appreciation posts we will start with our exceptional front desk staff! They are the first line of communication, the first faces to welcome you into the hospital, and the people in charge of making the schedule flow so we can fit in those urgent patients or last minute booster appointments.
When you see them next, please share a thank you for everything they do for you and your pets ♥️

Thank you ladies for all that you do, especially for making us laugh every day! 😄

Happy 4th of July from your friends at WellHaven Pet Health!

Here are 5 tips for you and your pets on this holiday!

1. Keep pets indoors: The loud noises and bright lights of fireworks can be extremely frightening for pets. Make sure to keep them in a secure and quiet room inside the house.

2. Create a safe space: Set up a cozy and comfortable area for your pet to retreat to if they are feeling overwhelmed by the festivities. This could be a crate or a favorite hiding spot.

3. Drown out the noise: Turning on some soothing music or white noise can help drown out the sound of fireworks and make your pet feel more at ease.

4. Avoid taking pets to fireworks displays: Even if your pet is usually well-behaved, the loud noises and crowded environment of a fireworks display can cause them to panic or potentially get lost in the chaos.

5. Update identification tags: In case your pet does happen to escape during Fourth of July celebrations, make sure their ID tags are up-to-date with current contact information.

In observance of the holiday, Happy Valley Vet Hospital will be closed Thursday July 4th. We will reopen Friday July 5th at 8am.
Please have a safe holiday.

If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call!
