💚💚💚 Veterinary Green Flags 💚💚💚
Mindful handling:
Pets often struggle to understand our intentions, making vet visits stressful. Medication can help alleviate their fear, anxiety, and stress, resulting in a smoother experience for pets, owners, and staff, while enhancing the human-animal bond.
30 minute appointments:
Having 30-minute appointments with a veterinarian greatly improves pet care. This longer time allows for thorough examinations and accurate diagnoses. It also gives pet owners the opportunity to discuss their concerns and explore treatment options in detail. Additionally, client education becomes more effective, especially for complex health issues or new pets. Overall, longer, unhurried appointments lead to a better experience for both pet owners and veterinarians, resulting in improved outcomes for pets.
Same day/week appointments:
Our dedicated team provides flexible appointments and accessible communication, ensuring both pets and owners receive the attention they deserve. We are more than a veterinary service; we are a community of pet lovers committed to animal health and well-being.
Happy Staff:
A veterinary practice with happy employees excels in many ways. Content staff provide better care for pets, showing increased attentiveness and compassion, which enhances client satisfaction. Happy team members are also more likely to stay, reducing hiring costs and ensuring consistent care for clients. Furthermore, their productivity boosts the practice, fostering teamwork and creating a supportive community that benefits everyone involved. It's all about the positive ripple effect!
Training Break
Did you know that 15-30min of mental stimulation is estimated to be the equivalent of a one hour walk for your dog?! It can be hard getting your dog mental and physical stimulation on these cold days, so Vida gets her workout in by stopping by our office to show off her skills. Great work Vida!

What is the flea surge?
The number of fleas on animals in the fall has a tendency to DOUBLE when compared to the spring. The theory behind this “flea surge” occurring in the autumn is that there is typically an increase in precipitation and the temperatures stay around 70 degrees. Fleas thrive in these conditions.
Ticks, unfortunately, will live all year long and can survive in even the worst conditions. For example, ticks can live for an entire year without feeding.
