If you know Arielle at all, you know she LOVES pickles. We checked out the Pickle 5K in Walker last year and had to return!

This year we helped sponsor the race and handed out a great post race snack of pickles too.

Walker puts on a great well organized race for all ages. They even have a 1 mile fun run for kids after the 5K.

Little Paisley was a great co pilot and completed her 3rd race this summer as a mere 3 month old.

We opened up some appointment time at our Keystone office next week. Dr. Tessa is making Keystone a stop on her world travels.

Dr. Tessa will be helping us out for the next few weeks at Keystone, Traer and on farms. We are so excited to have her. We have quite a few appointments available next Tuesday.

Give us a call to schedule any exams and vaccinations your pets may need. If you have an upcoming vacation, remember to check their vaccination status before planning to board them. We are happy to get your in one of our offices and get them caught up.

Welcome Dr. Tessa!

They learned about identifying species of ticks and some practice management tips. Awesome day to see some zoo animals and feed a giraffe!
