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!

As we are in the midst of a heat wave, it is a good time to remind everyone that leaving your pet in the car for even a few minutes can be fatal for them. Temperatures inside cars rise quicker than we may realize!

Here's a helpful chart by the AVMA that shows how quickly the interior temperature of your car raises over time: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/petcare/estimated-vehicle-interior-air-temperature-v-elapsed-time

Stay cool out there!
