July 4th is around the corner, and while you may be looking forward to it, your pets are not. Many pets experience fear and anxiety that you may not even recognize. Whether you're traveling or having a party at home, we recommend boarding them. We can keep them safe and distract them with fun and activities. A lot of pet parents feel the same, and we tend to fill up fast. So, book early!

We have a few updates for you all about our exciting June events!

We have decided to extend our Graduation add-on! It will now be offered through the end of June!

As you all may know, our lobby is on the smaller side, so the National Dog Party Day celebration on June 21st will unfortunately need to be limited to clients whose dogs are scheduled that day. In other words, don’t forget to sign your dog up for an appointment or reservation that day!

If you didn’t grab a passport until June, don’t fret! To make up the “May treat” stamp, you can double up on the monthly treat for any month between now and August! So you can plan ahead, the upcoming treats are…
-June: Pawtermelon Pawpsicle (Watermelon Popsicle)
-July: Red, White and Blue Yogurt and Berries Pupsicle
-August: Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Snow Cones

Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them! If you feel led to donate to the cause, please use this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-tornadoaffected-dogs-in-sanger

Last week, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Destination Pet’s field leaders participated in QPR Gatekeeper training and certification with none other than the incredible Dr. Mia Cary. QPR stands for “Question, Persuade, Refer” and is a data-driven and conversation-based way of supporting folks who are experiencing su***de ideation.

In our commitment to being the provider of choice for pets and those who care for them (feel free to tweak), we believe that workplace wellbeing starts with ensuring our leaders have the training and resources to create cultures and practices of wellbeing in their pet and vet care centers.
