On December 24 my hospital was broken into and all of the controlled drugs (ie narcotics) were stolen. It was heart-breaking to have this happen. Of course it’s upsetting to be so violated, but to impair our ability to help animals last week was devastating.

If you know anything about the crime, please call law enforcement (the investigation team) and give them your information.

Luckily this taught us a lot and we have come back stronger and significantly more secure. And we’ve got new, armed security that will respond faster than the police.

But what this really has taught me is how much I love the community I am in. I am surrounded by an amazing team and wonderful neighbors. People who are helping simply because they care about us. It really means so much. Thank you Sacramento for being so lovely and caring about us during the holidays when you really didn’t have to. And thank you for sharing our story in a respectful and kind way. ❤️ -Dr. Thornton

Everyone meet Heidi, our amazing RVT (registered vet tech). RVTs are essential in veterinary hospitals. They can perform dental extractions (…and let’s face it, are way better than the doctors at them), suture, induce anesthesia, intubate… and more. They have gone through school and a very challenging licensing exam to get those letters after their name!

Heidi is an extremely experienced RVT who we are so, so lucky to have on our team. Her super power? Staying calm in the chaos of vet med. This girl rolls with the vet med punches like no one I’ve seen. Her other super power is keeping us vets in line on surgery days. She’s making sure all the anesthetic drugs are calculated to precision, patient care is flowing appropriately, and every pet is getting everything they need their big surgery day.

When she’s not working, she’s wine tasting, hitting up all her favorite midtown spots, or hanging out on the dog beach in Carmel with her pack of dogs. On Saturdays you can often find her at the Midtown Farmers Market crushing on all the dogs running around.

If she could tell you anything about this job, it would be that it is both exhausting and rewarding. Heidi is a pet parent herself, but I won’t tell you how many dogs, cats, chickens, etc she has (hint: a lot). Just know that when you’re talking to Heidi about your pets and you’re worried or start crying or feel some emotion—she gets it. She has been through it ALL with pet owners and with her own pets.

Next time you see Heidi, say hello and thank her for being such an awesome caring RVT.

Hi all! We have a client who has recently taken over care of a sweet kitty whose owner was lost. She cannot keep this kitty and is looking for sweet home to let this old girlie live out her golden years.

Here is what she has to say: "Hi, my name is Ann. I am looking for any help in finding a good home for this sweet kitty named Cali, a calico cat whose owner died unexpectantly. I have called all around Sacramento and all the shelters and cat rescues are full. I don't want to have to take her to the Front Street Sacramento City Animal Shelter. She is a 14 year old spayed female and is very robust and active. She is very affectionate and open to meeting new people. She has been examined by two different veterinary hospitals. She is negative for Feline Leukemia Virus and FIV. She has been given a clean bill of health except that she has early stage kidney disease and intermittent vomiting. I can provide the kidney diet prescription. Her vaccinations are up to date, and I can provide the rabies certificate."

If you are interested, have friends who might be, or know of rehoming groups she could contact, please email the hospital (info [at] sactownvet [dot] com) and we will forward your email to Ann. If you can't help, if you can share this post that would be so helpful. I examined Cali myself and she is a very sweet girl who looks like she's in great condition.

Perfect Pico NEVER takes our treats (he is too fancy of a boi for our run-of-the-mill vet treats 😢)… UNTIL TODAY.

We pulled out the big guns for Pico: the whipped cream 😍 And that kid ate it all up. Woot woot! I think he hated his vet visit just a little bit less today, and that’s a win for us 🥳

Meet Siana, our receptionist wizard. This girl’s super power is getting things done efficiently… and that is to put it mildly. I have never met such a speed demon! She handles clients’ needs quickly and competently. If she could tell you something about her job, she’d want you to know how much compassion, time, love and care goes into each patient. She also would like to remind you to be kind to your vet staff as we are all humans just like you. (This is especially true coming from a receptionist who REALLY gets the brunt of your bad moods!)

When Siana isn’t working she’s making art—paint and clay are her favorite mediums. She also loves spending time with her family. She was a big roller derby gal before she super-injured her knee. In fact, she was training to go to China with Team USA but got her first knee injury a month before the trip 😫 Multiple surgeries later, roller skating is no longer an option for her 😭

Another fun fact? She was raised a vegetarian and has never eaten meat in her life!

Bottom line: Siana is way cool. If you’ve called or texted our office, you’ve probably spoken with her. Next time you chat with her, make sure you thank her for being a super human.

Meet Sophie ♥️ This gem of a doctor’s assistant starting working with us 6 months ago without ANY experience in the vet med field. Her enthusiasm for working with animals and commitment to learning has turned her from a newbie vet assistant to a freaking AMAZING powerhouse of a team member.

Sophie’s super powers in this field include her amazing capacity to learn and learn FAST. Her other super power is her eagerness to try to new things and always bring up for a new challenge (a must in vet med, because my goodness do we have challenges). Her other more silly super power is her ability to apologize for everything… including things that aren’t her fault 😆

When she isn’t chasing around vets and keeping them in line, she likes to hike, read, and wine taste. I’m assuming not all the time same… but that does sound sort of fun, doesn’t it? 🥾🍷📚 If Sophie could tell you one thing about her job, she’d want you to know that “everyone (‼️) at Sactown Vet is incredibly, caring, wondering and hardworking.” Let it be on record that we did not pay her to say that.

If you see Sophie at the hospital, make sure you say hi and tell her she’s doing AWESOME (and let her know whatever she’s about to apologize for is not her fault).

We are so lucky to be surrounded by such supportive folks 😍 This week the veterinary community celebrates our technicians and how much the work that is done for our animals depends on their amazing abilities.

Emily with was kind enough to swing by to give our crew some fine fashion 💃 I think the girls look 💯💁‍♀️💁‍♀️ don’t you?

Come visit us at our table at this year’s Tricks-for-Treats! Hosted by our friends . We will be located in the Bark dog park in Midtown. Can’t wait to see all those cute pups in costumes! 🎃👻

This is Gina! She’s our Animal Care Lead who works very hard to make sure all of the animals in our hospital are treated as if they were our own. This means making sure they’re getting walks, litter boxes, water, etc. She is also our Fear Free guru and helps us improve our Fear Free practice daily. If Gina could jump on a soapbox and shout something to the world about her job, she’s tell you that Fear Free is the ONLY way to practice veterinary medicine (…we agree!).

Gina’s super power is her compassion and empathy that she maintains across all species. If you’ve met Gina, you’ll know this is true. There isn’t a gentler nor kinder soul out there, and we feel so grateful that she works with us at Sactown Vet.

When she’s not working (or watching her two young daughters at home), she’s reading and painting. In fact, Gina paints beautiful pet portraits—you can commission a portrait from her at . Give her a hello the next time you see her!

Perfectly pathetic 🥹 Little Maddie doesn’t feel any sort of stress or fear at the vet so long as Diane is ONLY petting her. I think most dogs agree that if vet visits were just pets and treats, they’d be ideal.

(FYI this is why we have free Happy Visits! So dogs get more of this sort of attention and associate the vet with THIS and not all that scary other stuff.)

Meet Tyler! He has been working at Sactown Vet essentially since it opened. He’s gone from kennel tech to veterinary assistant to inventory manager, and he hopes to be a vet some day soon (and we know he will be with his smarticles!). His super power is learning new tasks efficiently and with enthusiasm. He feels that getting to work with animals is the best job in the world, and this attitude is reflected in his work. He jumps in and helps out as much as he can—and he does not shy away from challenges (…like drawing blood from tiny kitten veins).
 His favorite non-work activity is swimming with his sweet golden retriever Po. We’re lucky to have someone so committed to this profession at Sactown Vet, so say hi to Tyler the next time you see him!

Harley really knows how to work the camera. He’s got his sad SPCA commercial eyes on here, but this spoiled rotten angel baby is soaking up all the attention from dad here.

His parents love him and bring him in for acupuncture for his poor joints. You wouldn’t know his elbows and hips were bad based on his attitude, though. Harley loves life and all the people and we are lucky we get to see him to brighten our day 😍
