We were thrilled to visit Shore Acres Elementary and share insights about Beacon Emergency Veterinary Hospital with the students! The children were fantastic, and it was a joy to impart lessons on safety, awareness, and the proper application of bandages, even on stuffed animals! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Shore Acres Elementary for inviting us to engage with their students in such a meaningful way. #Shoreacreselementary #vetday 😻🐾👩⚕️

I truly do enjoy having those connections with my clients.
