Just a quick reminder! The previous online store will be closed within two weeks. Feel free to ask us how to make the switch!

We are making the switch to a new online pharmacy provider that can also help with compounded medication from the same place! We hope that this change will lead to better customer service, faster shipping times, and added convenience to our clients! Please bear with us during this transition, as we really feel it will serve our wonderful clients much better. In the meantime, check it out!

Precious is a 9 year old spayed female yorkie. Her owners passed and she needs a new home.
She is very sweet and social, and loves kids and cats. She does not love my big dog, so she may do better in a home without other dogs.
She has been vaccinated and is up to date on heartworm prevention. She has some minor issues typical of an older yorkie but no major health concerns at this time. The biggest challenge is her skin, which is getting much better and should be ok with some continued management.
She is very social and wants to be with people all the time. She has a little separation anxiety and would do well with someone who is home a lot. Overall she is calm and loving, and would make a great companion! Message me if you would like more information.

This is helpful article highlighting the benefits of palliative care, and how to prepare for that final journey over the rainbow bridge. ❤️🌈

Dr. Lisa Walling’s first house call of the day was with a particularly fluffy hospice patient — a 13-year-old Newfoundland named Rugby.

Just a couple of sweet babies, looking all adorable, living their best lives. We love our senior patients!

This dog needs a home! He is currently with a foster who found him as a stray. Super sweet with her other dogs and her kids. Needs some manners with cats and some leash training, but knows basic commands and loves people.
Just look at that face. Please share so this sweet baby can find a forever home!

Folks, this here is Flower. My family and I just adopted her. She had some injuries and trauma, and received excellent care, but will need ongoing care to help her heal completely. She is the most precious thing and has stolen our hearts.
Please consider opening your heart and home to senior and special needs animals. They need you, and give so much love and joy in return! A special thanks to Community Cats of Central Arkansas for rescuing this girl and helping place her with us. They do such awesome work helping so many cats in need.

All tuckered out after his check up.
Geriatric pets often need more frequent exams, bloodwork and other management to keep them healthy and comfortable as long as possible. It is so much less stressful for them at home! This little fella got some lab work today, along with treats and snuggles, and he is ready for his nap. We love our senior patients.

Just a cute Frenchie in his little tent to brighten your day.
We hope everyone is safe after the storms last night! Take care folks!

Hope everyone is safe and warm, and enjoying the snow! Please keep those pets warm too. 🥶 Mongo loves his snow play but likes to come in and warm up in comfort. 😊

These little pups still need a good home! They are about 12 weeks old now. Not sure the mix. They have had two rounds of vaccines and deworming, and will get a third soon. They are getting well socialized with their fosters but need their forever home!
