This week we are extra appreciative of the veterinary receptionists on our team! Doctors, technicians, and assistants couldn't do their job without the wonderful support and organization they receive from CSRs. Thank you PEC receptionists for everything you do to keep our hospital running! ❤

Meet Samson! This little kitty came in last week after being missing for 7 days. We were able to give him the blood transfusion that he needed. He responded well to the transfusion and he is now at home and feeling better! The PEC team loved having him in hospital since he is so sweet, but we are very happy that he was able to go home. Yay Samson!

We had the sweetest little girl come into our clinic yesterday! This is Covey and she came in to PEC because she had an upset tummy. Here, she is getting some xrays. After diagnostics, we sent her home with medications to help her feel better! Our technicians loved working with this adorable pup 🥰

As a reminder, we are open 24 hours daily for urgent and emergent care. We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

This is King! He came in earlier this week for a wound on his paw. We were able to clip and clean the wound, and we gave him a bandage fit for a king! It was such a delight to work with this pup and our team loves putting on decorative bandages when they have extra time.

This is Lewis, the sweetest kitty ever! He was hospitalized for Pancreatitis and spent 3 days with our team getting fluids, meds, and of course, cuddles.

Our team loved having him, but Lewis is now back at home and feeling better. We wish him all the best!
