As promised introducing our new and approved fosters!!

“Bob”- male/neutered orang+white calico joined us a few weeks ago with his brother Jinx (whom went to his furever home Sunday 🥳). Bob took a little bit of warming up in his new temporary home but has become such a brave soul. With a little bit of patience and a ton of love Bob could be your next best friend.

Mama aka “Ru”- female/spayed calico joined us a few days ago and is becoming reacquainted with her son, Bob. Ru is a very polite and affectionate girl who is very fond of her human friends. Despite all the clinic chaos she enjoys seeing new things and loves getting visitors. Ru has previously been in foster care with dogs and kids but seems to prefer a more subtle quiet environment where she can relax and really show off her true personality.

If you’re interested in adopting Bob or Ru submit an application through Halfway Home Rescue KY. More information regarding these two angles can be found below: https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/?shelter_id%5B0%5D=KY418&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added

We wanted to take the time and put a spotlight on our hardworking, passionate, and extremely intelligent BIRTHDAY GIRL, Brittany!!!

Brittany first started working in veterinary medicine at the age of 17. Starting in Pikeville, KY and working her way to Lexington. While emergency medicine is what really gets her blood pumping-(don’t worry she’s usually the first one to call dibs on a crazy case! 😜). The past few years Brittany has enjoyed practicing fear free veterinary medicine and advocating for her patients mental health.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing she is at her job and simply how she was made for veterinary medicine. She cares a ton not only about her patients wellbeing but her support team too. You may have met Brittany (aka Britt) during your pets exam room, talked to her on the phone, or she may have even responded to you via text. From teaching others and educating clients she’s definitely an honorable technician that we admire so much.

Feel free to wish Brittany a happy birthday down below!

As many of you all prepare to indulge in a family filled feast, your team at PetVet365 Richmond Rd. wanted to tell you THANK YOU!! We appreciate all of you and love your pets as if they were our own.

With that being said the clinic will be closed Thursday November 28th to allow our team to spend time with loved ones, however, we will have availability via text at 859-203-5004 if you’re in need!! Otherwise our hours will resume back to normal on Friday 9:00 AM-5:00 PM

Please take this time to hold your fur babies extra tight, and practice safe holidays:

🦃Avoid pancreatitis- most bones and other traditional items are often hard for our friends to digest. Therefore even a small amount can lead to upset tummy’s.

🦃Toxicity- some ingredients if ingested can be highly toxic. Avoid the risk and do not offer any scraps.

🦃Introverted or extroverted provide a safe place for your pet to escape all the chaos. They may be the perfect companion if you need a break too 😉

🦃Carrots, peas, apples, sweet potatoes, and bananas are all great snacks you can share. If looking for a form of enrichment try making some pupsicles!

🦃The cleaner upper- make sure all trash and decorations are properly stored or disposed of to avoid any emergent vet visits.

If something happens and we are unable to assist please seek care at Urgent Vet, BVS, or MedVet.

Today we sent two of the sweetest boys off to their furever home!! For those of you who didn’t know our personal CSR Denice rescued Balder a few hours away over the summer. We have spent the past few months learning his personality and showing him how the scary things aren’t as scary as he thinks. We sure will miss his spunky self. Luckily the amazing match making skills Halfway Home Rescue KY provides both Balder and our other foster JB (Jelly Bean) will fit right in with their new home!😸💛

Jelly Bean has been with us for a few weeks and easily became apart of our family. He became well acquainted with his now brother, Balder. While also learning that those big drooly things we call dogs can also be as entertaining as other feline friends. 💕

Stay tuned as we prep for our new incoming fosters 🥳

Our National Vet Tech Week Rockstar of the Day is Keisha!

Keisha joined our Richmond Road team a few months ago after nearly two years caring for pets at the PetVet365 location in Brannon Crossing. She boasts several years of pet care experience in both the veterinary field and other pet care fields, and brings an unmatched level of compassion and care to our team and patients. 🥰

Not only is Keisha an incredibly quick study, absorbing everything she can to practice the best medicine possible, but she also has a special interest in pet behavior and mental health. She is truly the epitome of Fear Free, and works incredibly hard to ensure every patient coming through our doors has as stress-free of an experience as possible. She is our resident expert on canine and feline body language, and the knowledge she has to offer in regard to a pet's mental well-being is beyond amazing. Ensuring a Fear Free experience as well as fantastic medical practice for our patients and their parents is paramount to her, and we are beyond lucky to have her on our team! 💜

Happy Vet Tech Week, Keisha! 🤩

Time for our National Vet Tech Week Rockstar of the Day!

Meet Sela! Sela has been part of the veterinary field for 9 years, joining us here at PetVet365 as a rockstar Veterinary Assistant in December of last year! She has an intense passion for the wellbeing of our patients and is always willing to offer a helping hand in all areas of the clinic. Between her quick wit, her thirst for knowledge, and her determination to be at the top of her game in all regards, she has become an integral part of our team over the past year!

Sela shares that her favorite things about working in Veterinary Medicine are gaining the trust of a fearful patient, forming bonds with her patients and their families, getting to watch them grow from puppies/kittens to adults, and being there to support them at the end. Sela also shares that she loves having a team of like-minded weirdos and the variety that each day brings; No two days are ever the same! 🥰

Happy National Vet Tech Week, Sela! 🤩

Denice shares that her favorite thing about working in Veterinary Medicine is knowing that she is helping, whether it be healing a pet, making sure that pet has all the things it needs to stay healthy, or just helping to end pain. And, of course, getting to cuddle and care for as many feline friends as possible. ❤️

Denice is certainly part of the backbone of our clinic, and we can't imagine getting through our days without her! 💜💜💜

Meet our Rockstars!

Jayla is celebrating her first year as an LVT during this National Veterinary Technician Week! She graduated from Morehead University's Veterinary Technology program in May of this year and passed her national board examination a few months ago!

Although newly licensed, Jayla has been learning, growing, and providing fabulous care for pets at PetVet365 for a year and a half now, joining our team here at Richmond Road just a couple of months after we opened our doors! She is driven, intelligent, compassionate, and always striving to learn and grow in her career.

Jayla shares that her favorite things about being a veterinary technician are knowing that she plays such an integral part in making pets' lives better, helping to empower pet parents through education, and being able to be there for pets and their people for their last goodbye.

We are incredibly lucky to have an amazing LVT like Jayla on our team! HAPPY VET TECH WEEK!!! 🩺💉🎉🥰

To kick off Veterinary Technician Week, we'd like to thank each and every Technician in the field for your incredibly hard work and dedication to enhancing the lives of patients and their people around the world! What you do is so important, and there aren't enough ways to say thank you for all that you do! ❤️

Understanding and navigating the veterinary experience can be intimidating and overwhelming. Each veterinary hospital may vary from another, including policies and procedures. The daily operation of a veterinary hospital requires a variety of different roles that include veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants. While the role of the veterinarian is pretty well-known to the general public, not many people are aware that much of your pet's care is handled by veterinary technicians and assistants! ☺️

A veterinary technician is a credentialed/licensed positioned that holds a degree in Veterinary Technology, has passed national and state board examinations, and holds a national license. In Kentucky, this position holds the title of LVT. In human medicine, a Registered Nurse (RN) would be a similar role to what an LVT can do in practice, though the duties of an LVT can be even more expansive and can be left up to the discretion of the overseeing veterinarian. Some of these duties may include anesthesia, venipuncture (drawing blood or intravenous injection), catheter placement, radiography, surgical assisting, dentistry, and more!

Employees that work in a clinical aspect within the hospital but have not taken and passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) are Veterinary Assistants (VA). Many times, VAs may have received on the job training and have extensive technical skills, experience, and knowledge. The duties and roles of a VA within the hospital are vast, as well! Having multiple trained VAs can increase efficiency and effectiveness of both the technicians and the veterinarians.

It certainly takes a village to ensure the best health for your pet! Stay tuned as we shine the spotlight on some of the incredible LVTs and VAs at PetVet365 Richmond Road and bring awareness to their scope of practice over the coming week! 🥰
