This is Buddy! 🐾 Our team is especially proud of him. Over the course of 8 Happy Visits, we’ve been preparing him for his upcoming annual exam. Buddy is incredibly smart but can be nervous and cautious around new people.
It took three visits just to earn his trust enough to be touched. At his last visit, Jo tossed him some hotdogs, but Buddy wasn’t quite ready. After some time, Jo tried again—Buddy not only let her touch him, but he also sat on command and even offered his paw multiple times! Turns out, hotdogs are the key to his heart.🌭🐾
P.S. Our remodel is coming along beautifully—stay tuned for more updates!
Vet for the Day
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting the Jack and Jill City of the Lakes Chapter for a special “Vets for a Day” experience at Hometown Veterinary Partners! We started by reading Dr. Cherice Roth’s inspiring books, “What Does a Real Doctor Look Like?” and “What is a Real Doctor?”, and then our young visitors suited up in their white coats to practice physical exams on Dr. Abi’s dog Siri, our resident canine helper. We had help from vet students at the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine too! It was a fantastic day full of learning and fun—thank you for spending it with us!
Shakur’s first vet visit at Hometown and he’s already guilty… of being way too cute! 🐾❤️

Yesterday was Puppy Day at Silver Lake! 🐾 Our team had the joy of welcoming three adorable families for their first visits: 1. Vida and Bala, with Bala looking like a mini version of Vida—but don't be mistaken, Vida is the queen of the roost! 👑 2. Leela and her pups, who got some TLC from Michaela and Dr. Paige. 🐶❤️ 3. Sunny, Koda, Otto, Nellie, and Bear, who were an absolute delight for Dr. Abi and Michaela. They were so cute, even Dr. Paige had to stop by to say hi! 🥰 #dogsofinstagram #puppy #puppylove #veterinarian #veterinary
We want to give a special shoutout to Sally, who is celebrating her last cancer treatment today.
When we asked if she would ring the bell to mark this milestone, Sally told us that her hospital no longer follows this tradition. Dr. Abi and our team decided to create a special moment for her instead. We surprised Sally by letting her ring the bell at our front desk, surrounded by cheers and applause.
Thank you for visiting us, Sally. We're cheering you on every step of the way!

Titus Having a Happy Day
Happy National Black Dog Day!
Bringing your pet in doesn't have to be just for an exam and vaccines; we also offer Happy Visits! Titus is a cute little puppy and we want him to think we are just as rad as he is. Getting your pet in for some non-stressful vet time is something that we strongly encourage. Call us to schedule and learn more today!

We were just as Thunderstruck with Darby as she was with us! We love being able to engage with your pets not with just treats but with play too. Play helps to stimulate the dogs mind as well as their body and is wonderful part of engaging with pets. We hope you are able to tear into this weekend just like Darby.

Did you know that you can also train cats to do tricks like dogs? This is Alfonse and he is training to be an adventure cat with his family. We can also help with behavior for cats and connect you to trainers in the area if interested. Loving all furry friends is apart of the job and we love to see the results of your hard work!
