We can't let September end without giving a big shout out to our fabulous team members who are celebrating birthdays/anniversaries this month! 🥳

Gisselie from the kennel celebrating 1 year with us! Her s***k and big personality shines through with everything she does!

Katy (technician) celebrating 3 years! Her go-getter attitude and knowledge of the veterinary world amazes us every day.

and Dr. Neiser celebrating 26 (yes, TWENTY SIX!) years here with us. No one can imagine this place without her. Her quick thinking, her empathy, and her dedication are just a few examples of why she is absolutely irreplaceable. We are truly blessed to have had these amazing years of literal blood, sweat, and tears from Dr. Neiser.

We only have 1 birthday this celebrate month, and that would be Amber, one of our assistants!

Did you know 40% of dogs and cats experience some level of pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA)?

OA is arthritis that develops when protective tissue in the joints deteriorates, leading to friction between the bones. Pain from OA can decrease your pet’s willingness to play or exercise.

Take the Pain Checklist quiz to see if they could be showing signs of OA: https://bit.ly/3Z5m7u6

If you suspect your pet may have signs of OA, please contact us so we can help them feel their very best!

Kittens are irresistibly cute with their tiny eyes, wispy fur, and playful antics. However, their first year requires patience, dedication, and understanding of feline development. Like human babies, kittens go through specific stages needing different care levels. Preparing for these milestones will help you raise a strong, healthy, and happy cat.
