Either way, let us help you keep your furry friend mat-free this summer! ☀️

“Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.” 💙❤️ Mr. Rogers
We ❤️ Dr. Alison! She loves the children and the animals. Did you know the first child abuse case had to be tried on animal cruelty laws, because there were laws to protect animals before there were laws to protect children?!?
Alison has a heart of gold and she has the sweetest spirit. We adore her and are thankful for her always answering the call to help the Center and our children!
Thanks for being our hero and neighbor!

Our cats and dogs will reap mental, emotional and physical benefits! Credit to DVM360 and Firstline.

The clinic is a little more empty today. Our sweet Smudge passed away overnight from his heart disease. 💔 I honestly thought I’d be making this post a long time ago, as he was formally diagnosed with HCM in August of last year. We had been having to give him additional Lasix injections from time to time for months. I am so grateful for the extra time we got with him. Smudge was the foodie, the cuddler, the patient recovery tech, the mayor of BLAH… he was so much to so many. He made the best biscuits. He stole many a food item, even chewing through our bags of food for sale in the clinic. 🍴 he was Dr Emile’s best cheese buddy. He rocked all the stupid haircuts I gave him in only the way he could. We are all better for having gotten the chance to love him. Love you so much smudgie and we’ll see you again someday! Please enjoy the video our receptionist made of him last week. He had the perfect Grinchy face. 😢 Feel free to share any pics you snagged of him below. -Dr. A
Tio was worn plum out by his appointment yesterday, but he managed to work up the energy for a few tail wags for us at the end anyway. 😆 We love it when our patients are so relaxed around us! ❤️🐶

Hey guys! Dr. A here. I just wanted to share something that’s been on my mind lately. As you all probably know by now, ALL veterinary hospitals around the country have been swamped since the beginning of Covid 19 (anybody reading this adopted a puppy or kitten in that time frame?? I bet many of you did! 😜). We are all working very hard to take care of as many patients as we can while still maintaining quality medicine and our sanity. (Don’t know how well we are managing the sanity part 🤪) I don’t share this to make you feel sorry for us, but to give a little background on the advice I’m about to give. Now, more than ever, is the time to establish your relationship with your vet BEFORE your pet has an emergency. That means scheduling their regular yearly visits for vaccines and exams. We have been so busy, we are now having to prioritize which emergencies we can see in a day. And in order to make sure we can see our regular clients’ pets if they have an emergency, we are limiting same day appointments to already established clients and patients only. We want to be able to help everyone. But that is not possible with the current demand for veterinary care. So- make sure your pet is UTD on its vaccines and exams with your local vet clinic. Don’t be caught struggling to find someone to see your pet on emergency basis because you haven’t established that relationship yet. That’s my 2 cents, for what it’s worth. And enjoy the video of Ollie the cat enjoying his squeeze cheese treat during his visit last week!
