🇺🇸 Celebrating the 4th with America’s Favorite Pups! 🇺🇸

As we gear up for fireworks and grilling out this week, let’s give a round of ap-paws for America’s most popular dog breeds according to the AKC! 🎇🐶

🥇 French Bulldog – Holding strong at #1 for 3 years now!
🥈 Labrador Retriever – A loyal American classic
🥉 Golden Retriever – Friendly and full of heart
🏅 German Shepherd – Courageous and devoted
🏅 Poodle – Smart and stylish

Whether your best friend is a top 5 breed or a one-of-a-kind mix, we love them all! ❤️🐾

Whats cuter than 1 Labrador Retriever puppy? How about a wagon full! 🥰

We enjoy starting puppies off to a great start by seeing them for their first vet visit!

🛠️ New framing and walls are going up inside the clinic, and we’re getting closer to the finish line.

Once renovations are complete, our doctors and practice manager will have brand new office space, and we’re adding FOUR additional exam rooms to better serve you and your pets + more! 🐾💙

We appreciate your continued patience as we grow to care for even more members of our community.

🎆 Fireworks are fun for us—but not always for our pets.
If your pet experiences anxiety due to loud noises, give us a call now to discuss medication options before the 4th of July.

🐾 We’re here to help make the holiday safer and less stressful for your furry family members!

Other 4th of July Pet Safety Tips:
🔹 Keep pets indoors during fireworks
🔹 Ensure ID tags and microchips are up to date
🔹 Never leave pets unattended near sparklers or grills
🔹 Provide a quiet, comfy space for them to retreat

📞 Call us today to prepare ahead!

The mural isn’t the only update outside our clinic—check out the cut out for an additional door and a pet relief fire hydrant! 🐾

Dr. Michael may have had a little fun with the hydrant’s colors… if you know you know! 🧡🦅

The clinic renovations are coming along great and we love sharing photos of all the exciting changes!
