We had such a fun Friday today 🤣💙

The world of Vet Med can often be very heavy and it can absolutely cause burnout.

We have started having a separate team meeting every month that is just focused on team building and fun, because we need it and deserve it.

Today we did two games the first one was acting out certain dog breeds in the Vet Office.

The second one was a cone of shame relay race. There were 5 teams that had to do 4 tasks throughout the hospital wearing your dogs favorite lampshade. (Unpack a box, put the item that was unpacked where it belongs in the hospital, place a pressure bandage, use our data entry system to text the first person on their team)

Winners were Dr Francis’ team! It was an absolute blast! We enjoyed a Texas Roadhouse lunch after!!

It was also our last day of spirit week and everyone looked great supporting their favorite sport/team!

(Videos of the race are in the comments below!)

Fall and Winter are quickly approaching and we wanted to get ahead of the game and discuss the common misconception that pets do not need to be on Heartworm, Flea and Tick prevention in the cooler month! This is NOT true!

The American Heartworm Society recommends that pets are covered year round!

The weather does not get cold enough or stay cold long enough to be considered reliable in the prevention of these vector borne diseases.
