Introducing: “Dot”

"Dot” came to us when she was roughly 6 weeks old; she is now 14-weeks-old and full of s***k! As much as we love her here and will hate to see her go, she deserves her “fur”ever home. “Dot” is completely indoors and needs to go to a home that will allow her to remain indoors. Since having her here the last 8 weeks, she has stayed at several of the vet assistant's homes and shown that she can get along everyone; human, child, dog & even her own kind, cats! For more information, or if you are interested in meeting “Dot”, please call our office at 828-466-2726.

Bittersweet. Proud. Happy. Sad.

Please help us in wishing the best of luck to Anna as she closes one chapter in life to begin another….Veterinary Technician school.

Today is Anna’s last day at AHNC as a Veterinary Assistant. As sad as we are to say goodbye, we are twice as happy and proud to see her advancing her career goals and following her dreams!

From day 1 until today, you’ve learned and grown so much! Stop and think back. Wow! What an accomplishment in itself. From blood draws and IV catheters to conquering the opening of suture packs in surgery (hehe), we are so proud of you and know that you will thrive in school.

Just like your cake said, “good luck finding better coworkers than us” and remember, if you’re ever back in Hickory, you’ll always have a home back here at AHNC!

We’ll miss you and are so proud of you, Anna!

-Dr. Sechrist and your AHNC Team

With the temperatures rising into the HIGH 90's this weekend, we wanted to spread awareness on your pet's heat tolerance and how to protect them from this surge.

Hydration is a must, not only for you, but them as well! 💦🥵

Our pets unfortunately can't tell us when they are sick. That is why annual blood analysis for your pet is so important. Your pet can appear healthy, but have hidden medical problems that could become serious or even life-threatening if they are left undetected. At your next annual exam, ask us about our discounted wellness bloodwork options!

These sweet babies came to us today for their very first kitten visit, and we loved getting to meet them and be their care team. Looks like they loved Miss Emily as well!
