National Vet Tech Week is October 12 to 18
National Veterinary Technician Week is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the vital role vet techs play in keeping animals healthy and happy. NVTW reminds us to appreciate the professionals who are committed to providing exceptional care to your pets. Vet techs put in numerous hours providing medical care, comfort and a friendly environment to pets, and this week gives us the opportunity to say thank you.
Many people do not completely understand the skills, knowledge and effort involved in the role of a veterinary technician. Veterinary technicians are highly educated individuals who help veterinarians care for pets by providing nursing support, acting as patient advocates, performing diagnostic procedures, and assisting in anesthesia and surgery. While they may have the opportunity to cuddle the occasional puppy or kitten, a vet tech’s job is much more than playing with cute dogs and cats. Becoming a veterinary technician isn’t for the faint of heart, but knowing what the career involves can alleviate the challenges. A vet tech’s typical daily responsibilities include gathering information from owners, reporting a pet’s condition, caring for hospitalized pets, collecting diagnostic samples, performing laboratory testing and procedures, preparing pets, instruments, and equipment for surgery, placing intravenous catheters, assisting with surgical procedures, performing prophylactic dental cleanings, monitoring anesthetized animals, cleaning and sterilizing surgical instruments, cleaning surgical equipment and suites, taking X-rays, and educating pet owners. Most veterinary technicians love their job, feel satisfied with their work, and enjoy contributing to their patients’ health and well-being.
These devoted professionals love animals as much as you love your pet and always work to ensure pets receive the care they need, so be sure to thank your vet tech during your next appointment! Watch for our team photos this whole week!

National Mental health day 10/10/25

According to Cornell University, numerous studies suggest that interaction with cats and dogs can have beneficial psychological effects on us. Hugging a pet can reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. When you pet an animal, the physical touch triggers the release of oxytocin in your brain. This hormone acts as a natural stress reliever, lowering levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and creating a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
Yes, a cat's purring can help with anxiety. The repetitive sound of a cat’s purring has a calming, meditative quality that can reduce stress and promote mindfulness. Dogs are often perfectly content to sit quietly by your side, offering their company without needing anything in return. Their loyalty is a form of silent support that can be incredibly comforting. When a pet stays close to you or follows you around, it provides an unspoken reassurance that you are not alone. Their loyalty to their owners is unmatched, and knowing that a cat or dog is there, supporting you, can make you feel deeply appreciated and cared for. There’s something inherently comforting about a pet curling up beside you.
No matter what kind of day you’re having, a pet will always greet you with loving eyes, a soft purr, or a wagging tail. Dogs and cats have a special way of bringing smiles and laughter when you need it most. The benefits of animal companions range from heart health to mental health. So hug your pet a little more today, for your own health.

National Pet Obesity Awareness Day 10/8/25
National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, observed on October 8, raises awareness about pet obesity. Pet obesity is a growing concern in the United States. The day aims to highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for pets to prevent serious health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, cancer, and decreased life expectancy. Currently more than half of all companion dogs and cats are overweight. While it’s hard to say no to our pets when it comes to food, it’s important to practice discipline for the safety and well-being of our beloved companions. It starts with recognizing there is a problem. Pet owners think their overweight dog or cat is a normal weight, making confronting obesity difficult. Owners may not even be aware that their pets have become overweight, so it’s important to know at what point it becomes a medical problem. Two dog breeds that are considered high-risk for obesity are Labradors and Golden Retrievers.
Pet weight is harder to lose: one pound of weight lost in a canine is the equivalent to five pounds in a human. That means that each pound lost will be gradual but significant. To check if your pet is obese, you should be able to easily feel your pet's ribs without pressing on the pet and your pet’s stomach should be tucked in. According to the AKC, exercise is crucial when it comes to helping your overweight dog get healthy. Increasing your dog’s activity helps burn off energy and calories. Build up endurance slowly for dogs that are overweight. Remember, begging is not always about wanting more to eat, but a ploy to get more attention. Think of treats and scraps for your pet as you would candy for children. Look for low-calorie, low-fat options and limit the amount. Talk to your vet about a high-protein, high-fiber diet to help manage your dog’s appetite. Consult with your veterinarian for information and guidance on diet and weight-loss plans. Follow veterinary recommendations for exercise and diet, and you can have a healthy pet for many years to come.

Another Rabies case reported in SC.
A feral cat that tested positive for rabies had contact with two people and two dogs, state health officials said this week. The animal was found near Glenwood Drive and Fair Bluff Highway. Officials said the gray, black and orange cat was known to be part of colony in the area and did not have a history of a rabies vaccine. The cat was submitted to the state Department of Health for testing last Friday and was confirmed to have rabies Monday. Animals that have contracted rabies will be lethargic, feverish, and then eventually show neurologic signs, and that’s when the virus has already taken over. They will pass away from the disease at that point.
Horry County Animal Control is assisting with the investigation by working to identify additional feral or stray cats in the area that may have been exposed. Horry County is the easternmost county in South Carolina. As of 2020, its population was 351,029, making it the fourth-most populous county in South Carolina. Officials said it’s the second animal to test positive for rabies in Horry County this year — with 66 confirmed cases statewide. Since 2002, South Carolina has averaged about 144 rabies cases annually. Think your pet doesn’t need a rabies vaccine? You might want to think again!

Employee Spotlight

It’s about time we get back to our employee spotlights. Today we highlight Quierra. She is one of the newest members of our team and she can be seen always wearing a jacket no matter the weather or temperature. Some of her favorite things are sleeping on the floor, mustard (the color and the condiment) and the soundtrack to Hamilton. Yes, she knows all the words! But she can’t swim and hates the ocean. She will be returning to college soon, but she will be back on school break. We are happy to have her on our team.

National Black Dog Day 10/1/25

Show your love for black dogs on National Black Dog Day!
This day was created to help raise awareness of the fact that black dogs are often overlooked in shelters. Is that true? Most people involved in animal rescue swear it’s true. They say black shelter pets are less likely to be adopted than pets of other colors. We want to celebrate these pups, which deserve just as much love and attention as any other color dog.
Where would we be without lovable Black Labradors? What about the trusted little Schipperke? Or the snorty little black Pug, the majestic Cane Corso or the brave Scottish terrier? Have you ever seen a beautiful black dog laying in the sunlight, with glistening blue or brown highlights? Their dark coats shimmer with an undeniable elegance. Who could pass up a black beauty that can steal your heart with every bark, wagging tail, and loving glance? Whether you’re searching for a loyal companion or a playful pal, a black dog might just be the perfect addition to your family.

How important is a rabies vaccine for your pet?
Let us tell you… York County has had 8 confirmed cases of rabid animals since 2023. Since 2002, South Carolina has averaged approximately 144 positive cases of rabies a year.
Still think your pet doesn’t need a rabies vaccine? Since 2023, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and multiple people have been exposed in York County’s positive rabies cases. 30% of all rabies cases involve human exposure.
Why do we vaccinate all pets for rabies? You are required by South Carolina's rabies law to keep your animal's rabies shot up to date, and we are here to help. We offer 1 year vaccines to all pets, and 3 year rabies vaccines for previously vaccinated pets.
How can you be rabies aware? Stay away from wildlife. Any mammal has the ability to carry and transmit the disease to humans or pets. The primary carriers of rabies in SC are raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. You can protect yourself by taking common sense precautions. If you are bitten or scratched by a wild, stray, or unvaccinated animal care for the wound properly and contact your health care provider. The health care provider is required to report the incident to DPH. If you do not seek medical treatment for the wound, you are required to contact your regional DPH office to report the incident in one business day. And vaccinate your pets!
