All Creatures Veterinary Clinic

09/17/2025

Hi there ACVC fans!!! My name is Janet and I will have been with All creatures for 13 years this coming January. My role in the clinic is Hospital Manager but I also pitch in and help whereever the team needs an extra hand.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, camping, horseback riding and for many years long distance running. I love to combine these activities with my furry companions.
I have been involved with horses since I was 13 years old and Kid is my 24 year old gelding. Fun fact Kid is the same age as my son! He has been part of my family for the past 18 years. He was diagnosed with Equine Cushings (PPID) about 5 years ago which I try to manage with him having regular vet checks ups & medication. We love to ride the trails and Kid enjoys splashing in the river. Recently we tried out horse camping. What a blast!
Rylee- “ Rylee Coyote” is my 12 year old Australian Shepherd/ Blue Heeler/ King Cavalier Spaniel mix. She has all the herding dog energy and the sweet cuddly personality of a cavalier. Even at her senior age she needs physical and mental activity to keep her happy. Rylee has done agility,scent training and has been my training partner for marathons and ultra marathons and loves to hike with me. Labor Day weekend we hiked 15 miles! Rylee also has trick dog titles and is a bit of a clown.

We’re excited to share some important updates about the improvements we’re making at All Creatures Veterinary Clinic.

Launch of New Electronic Records System

Temporary Adjustments to Operating Hours

We will be closed from Saturday, September 20th through 2:00pm on Monday, September 22nd to facilitate this transition. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our services. We recommend planning any medication pickups prior.

My turn!!!!
I'm Josee! I'm a Veterinary Assistant & the lead Customer Service Representative here at ACVC. Let me introduce you to my crew... Darwin is my 10-year-old Labradoodle and the resident "old man" of the house. He's sweet, steady, and insists on doing things his own way… like playing fetch only outdoors (indoor fetch is apparently beneath him) and giving himself "pets" by rubbing against the couch. He's got a gentle soul but also the best sense of humor without even trying.

Crystal is my 3-year-old German Shepherd/Husky/ Lab mix, and she's pure personality. She has a talent for sniffing out every hidden ball in the house, and if one's under a blanket, she'll do a full "bunny hop" pounce to uncover it (ears flopping everywhere). Darwin was my first pup and I got off very easy. As a 19 year old adopting my first dog, I didn’t realize how lucky I was that he loves everyone and everything, is so laid back, and will tolerate any situation. Crystal on the other hand, well, she's taught me so much about patience as she works through her fear and anxiety with new people and pets, and I couldn't be prouder of the progress she's made. To this day she may not enjoy hanging out in a kennel when she comes with me to work, but now she’s able to be introduced to new people, stay at home alone without being destructive, and have exams/vaccines without too much fuss. (She also rocks muzzle training like a pro. It doesn't make her a bad dog, just a safe one!🙂)

Together, Darwin and Crystal are the perfect balance: my wise old man who makes me laugh with his quirks and my chaotic little sidekick who keeps life interesting. Whether they're lounging like lazy butts, bouncing around on toy hunting missions, or reminding me of the importance of patience and love, these two make every single day brighter.

Ok I'll go first.... This is Candy, I'm one of the CVT's here at ACVC. Many of you know I get a little excited when talking about 1 of the many sports I do with my doggo "Castiel". What you may not know is that I found the sport "FasctCat" when searching for something to enrich his mind & hone in that natural Border Collie drive that I just couldn't get at home. I stumbled upon FasctCat & thought, well let's give it a whirl. Packed up my husband & dog, booked a hotel room & drove 4 hours to our first FasctCat event. By the time we ran our first run, we were hooked! We were met with admiration, shock & awe by competitors & the kennel club crew. We were completely unaware of how this game even really worked & they ALL stepped in to help us see what it was all about. 5 years later, Castiel is well known (not us really, just him - I'm considered "Castiel's mom" as most don't actually know MY name🤣) & the game itself has become not only a way to allow him to truly be himself doing what he loves, it has become little mini vacations for my family every year. We have met so many wonderful people, made several new friends... The bond it's created for all of us is priceless. Please enjoy our video which shows every detail of this sport including the friends we've made along the way. Oh! And if you're into 80's hairbands, turn that volume up😁

AKC FastCAT! What is it? It's amazing is what it is! Need an outlet for your high energy or prey driven dog?? This is it! Just do it! Check out your local ke...

Hi there ACVC fans!!! We are going to be sharing stories from our team members about them & their pets. Things we do with them, things we've overcome (such as behavioral issues or medical issues) as pet parents ourselves. We hope these stories may resonate with some, encourage activities to provide enrichment, provide outlets for those who may be struggling & to also show you what our team does on their rare day off. Stay tuned for a fun filled month of "What is the ACVC team doing on their day off?"🐾
