Euthanasia.⁣
⁣
The single worst decision, day, and moment in a pet parents’ life. The kind of decision that makes you question ever owning another pet, because it’s too damn hard. This inevitable moment is too painful. ⁣
⁣
“This must be the absolute worst part of your job.” I hear that almost every time.⁣
⁣
Yes. It freaking sucks. But you know what I say to that each time?⁣
⁣
Euthanasia is a gift. A way to allow our furry angels to pass with peace, without stress, and with dignity. We wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe there was another option. And just because it’s the right decision doesn’t make it an easy one. ⁣
⁣
Remembering those words allows me the peace and calm to help you through one of the worst days of your life. That doesn’t mean I won’t cry too, or my hand won’t shake when I’m giving those final medications. But it means I can go home knowing your baby isn’t suffering anymore.⁣
⁣
That also doesn’t mean it won’t take its toll. We are veterinarians, technicians, nurses because we love our patients like their our own. A small or sometimes very large piece of our soul breaks every single time. At certain times it seems like we can’t catch a break, that the losses are coming too quickly for us to even take a breath between. “Dr. Death walking” we’ll sometimes say. ⁣
⁣
The holidays tend to be the worst part of the year for this ugly trend. Making Christmas cheer, or Thanksgiving gratitude a little stale most years. So over the next few months, please remember to be kind to all, to extend grace and patience even when you might not feel like it, and know above all that if your heart is breaking so is ours. ⁣
⁣
With love,⁣
Your Veterinarian

With the holidays approaching, please call ahead for prescription refills sooner than later. Our pharmaceutical companies have slower delivery times during the holidays, so we may need more time to get any special order medications delivered.

We will be closing Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 1:00 pm. We will be closed December 25th, 26th, and 27th,
to allow our team much deserved time off.

New Years Eve, December 31st, we will be closing at 12:00pm, and will be closed on New Years Day. We will resume normal business hours January, 2nd.

We want to wish all of our clients and patients a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

🎄 Meet Andy – Let’s Get Him Home for Christmas! 🎄

Say hello to Andy, a 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with a heart full of love and energy to match! This sweet boy is:
🐾 Up to date on vaccines
🐾 Neutering scheduled for 12/10/24

Andy is a social butterfly who gets along with everyone—humans, dogs, and even cats! True to his Jack Russell nature, he’s full of playful energy and would love an active home to call his own.

Important Requirements:
🐶 If you have other pets, they must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.

Andy deserves to spend the holidays with a loving family by his side. Could that be you?

Don’t wait—Andy’s ready to fill your home with joy this Christmas season.
