Your family veterinarian and Advanced Veterinary Care (AVC) are here to help. AVC is a specialty referral practice providing sophisticated emergency and critical care, trauma management, surgery, internal medicine, and referral services. Quality medical care begins with your family veterinarian. From time to time, your doctor may ask AVC to be a part of the medical team which cares for your pet, a

nd they will refer you to AVC. By referring you to us when your pet is ill or injured, your doctor demonstrates confidence in our ability to help you through a difficult and emotional time. AVC is always available to you for emergencies at those times your family veterinarian is closed. Should you ever find yourself in need of emergency services, you may walk into AVC at any time, day or night, without an appointment. We understand the worry and stress that can result from your pet’s illness or injury, and we will do our very best to ensure that you both are provided with the compassion and quality care you deserve.

🐾 Testimonial Thursday 🐾
We love hearing from pet parents! 💙 Here’s what one of our recent clients had to say:

🗣️“We’ve had 4 different pets here for varying illnesses or injuries over the past few years, and AVC has been amazing! We’ve seen several different vets there, and they all cared for our pets with compassion and understanding. They took the time to explain to us what was going on, and included us in treatment decisions. Price estimates were transparent, and honestly, for a 24-hour emergency service, I feel that the prices are very fair. We had to say goodbye to one of our furry friends there after a long struggle with illness, and they handled our loss with the utmost of respect, empathy, and caring.” -Dave Peterson

At Advanced Veterinary Care, we are honored to be there for you and your pets during their most critical moments. Thank you for trusting us with their care! 🐾

We’re excited to announce that our board-certified surgeon Dr. Brandy Cichoki will be hosting a continuing education lecture on small animal amputation: surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and optimizing patient outcomes. This informative session will cover key aspects of small animal amputation, with a particular focus on surgical technique, owner satisfaction, and post operative care. Race approval, pending.

Dr. Cichocki will delve into the following topics: *Surgical techniques for both fore and hind limb amputations; including coxofemoral disarticulation
*Tips for improving owner satisfaction throughout the process
*Physical therapy, exercise exercises that owners can do at home to promote recovery and help their pets, regain strength and mobility
*Complications such as surgical site infections and phantom pain
*Alternative options for owners who may not wish to pursue amputation

Additionally, Elanco is sponsoring our event, and we will be discussing pre and postoperative pain management, with an emphasis on the use of Nocita, a local anesthetic. This session will also emphasize effective team collaboration to optimize efficiency, reduce stress for the animal, and provide compassionate care for clients.

🐾 Happy National Golden Retriever Day! ❤️

Today, we’re celebrating one of the most lovable, loyal, and goofy dog breeds—Golden Retrievers! 💛🐶 Whether they’re snuggling on the couch, playing fetch, or flashing that signature Golden smile, these pups bring joy to so many families.

🏥 Did you know Goldens are also prone to certain health conditions? As a 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital, we frequently treat them for:
🔸 Foreign body ingestion (because they’ll eat just about anything!)
🔸 Hip dysplasia & arthritis
🔸 Heart conditions & cancer risks
🔸 Ear infections (those floppy ears trap moisture!)

If you have a Golden, regular check-ups and early detection are key to keeping them happy and healthy! If an emergency ever arises, Advanced Veterinary Care is here 24/7 to help.

📸 Drop a photo of your Golden in the comments! We’d love to see all the happy, fluffy faces. 🥰

Meet our incredible overnight ER Supervisor & Certified Veterinary Technician Dakota who has been a vital part of AVC for 3.5 years! 💙

Outside of work, you’ll find her enjoying lake days and paddle boarding—soaking up the sun whenever possible! ☀️🏄‍♂️

🔬 Why she chose veterinary medicine?
Because she loves the challenge of figuring out complex medical issues, administering proper treatment, and seeing pets go home happy and healthy with their families.🐾❤️

🐶🐱 Meet Dakota’s furry family!
With a full house of 7 pets, life is never dull!
🐾 Dogs: Paiz (12 y/o Boxer Mix), Bella (11 y/o Great Dane), Monty (6 y/o Great Dane), Tucker (6 y/o Pointer Mix)
🐾 Cats: Baxter (7 y/o DSH), Wilson (4 y/o DLH), Finn (4 y/o Maine C**n)

💼 If Dakota’s pets had jobs they’d be…
Paiz & Bella = Therapists (sweet as can be!)
Monty = Car wash operator (drool-powered!)
Tucker = Patrol officer 🚔
The cats?Well…they expect servants, not jobs!😆

💖 Her pet memory:
Is when she helped deliver Paiz at her very first job when her mom needed a C-section. The owners requested euthanasia, so she fostered her mom and all 12 puppies—and Paiz never left herside. She’s been Dakota’s very best girl, a perfect angel from the very beginning.🥹🐶

Join us in celebrating this amazing tech and all that she does for our patients and team! 🎉👏

Meet our recent patient, Auggie! 🐾 He came to us for vomiting, lethargy, and pacing a behavior that concerned his family. Auggie was adopted just two months ago and is already so loved! 💙

After thorough diagnostics, including radiographs and a pneumocolonogram, we discovered a mineral opacity foreign body in his small intestines. This brave boy had a river rock lodged in his mid-jejunum, causing a concerning obstruction. Thanks to our amazing surgical team, a laparotomy and enterotomy were performed to safely remove it.

Auggie stayed with us post-op for recovery and went home wagging his tail with pain meds and his stylish cone of shame. 😅 His family is keeping a close eye on him to prevent future dietary mishaps!

Remember, our doors are open 24/7 to provide your pets with the best care when they need it most. 💕

Meet AVC’s Training Coordinator, Shift Supervisor & ER Veterinary Technician Lindsay. She started out as the lead surgical tech and has been with AVC since March 2016. Lindsay loves providing the best care to our furry patients, being an animal and patient advocate and helping owners navigate their pet’s medical journeys. She’s proud to work alongside such an amazing team to provide top-notch care for our patients and their families.

In her free time she enjoys hiking, photography, and scrapbooking. Her fur baby is Beatrice, aka BB! She’s an Olde English Bulldog, approximately 2 years old (we celebrated her gotcha day on 1/16/23). BB came into her life as a rescue after overcoming a pr*****ed and necrotic uterus, and she’s been a light in her life ever since. BB is already the unspoken AVC mascot and could make an incredible therapy dog! BB is friendly, loyal, and full of personality. With her smooshy face and adorable kisses, she has a special way of spreading joy and comfort to everyone she meets.

BB is Lindsay’s little shadow. She loves cuddling, playing with all her toys, and being a road warrior on our adventures—complete with doggles on in the Side by Side! She’s also incredibly patient, letting Linds dress her up in different hats and costumes. She’s a good sport and always brings a smile to everyone’s face.

Lindsay and BB are so grateful to be part of this wonderful veterinary community and providing the gold standard of care here at AVC, which is like her second home!

We’re thrilled to highlight our incredible ER shift support and certified veterinary technician, Justin who has been a vital part of Advanced Veterinary Care since moving to Utah from Arizona in 2023. With his passion for patient and client care, leadership, and staff development, he truly embodies the spirit of excellence we strive for every day.

Justin has worked in ER and critical care since 2019, bringing unmatched dedication and expertise to our hospital. This year, he proudly achieved his veterinary certification and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Healthcare Administration, to further refine his leadership skills proving he’s the top dog in leadership!

At home, he’s loved by his adorable dog, three cats, and two snakes—an animal lover through and through! When he’s not leading our teams, you’ll find him spending quality time with his life partner, family, and friends, enjoying Utah’s stunning outdoors, diving into arts and crafts, or embracing opportunities to learn and grow.

Justin’s kindness, fairness, and thoughtful leadership make him a favorite among our staff. We’re so lucky to have him guiding our teams and fostering a culture of growth and care at AVC!

AVC is lucky to have him leading the pack! 🐕 Let’s give Justin some howl-out love in the comments below! 🐾

Beware of Winter Hazards Keep Your Furry Friends Safe!

Winter in Utah is magical, with skiing on the slopes, sledding adventures, and cozy nights by the fire. But while we enjoy the season, it’s important to watch out for these cold-weather risks to keep our pets safe:

1️⃣ Frostbite & Hypothermia: Dogs can suffer in extreme cold, especially small, short-haired, or elderly pups. Limit outdoor time, and bundle them up with a cozy coat or sweater!

2️⃣ Paw Protection: Snow, ice, and de-icing salts can cause painful cracks or irritation. Use pet-safe booties or wipe paws thoroughly after walks.

3️⃣ Antifreeze Danger: This sweet-tasting liquid is toxic to pets. Store it securely and clean up spills immediately.

4️⃣ Hidden Hazards in Snow: Sharp objects or ice shards can be hidden beneath snow. Keep an eye on where your dog explores.

5️⃣ Safe Snacking: Avoid giving pets scraps from rich holiday meals, as these can upset their stomach or be toxic.

6️⃣ Tap Your Hood for Cats: Outdoor cats often seek warmth inside car engines during cold weather. Tap your hood or honk before starting your car to avoid injuries.

7️⃣ Microchips & ID Tags: Snow can mask your pet’s scent, making it harder for them to find their way home if lost. Ensure they have a microchip and updated ID tags for a safe return.

Your pets are family, and their safety and well being is our top priority. If an emergency arises, we are here for you 24/7—just a call and visit away.

Stay safe and enjoy the season with your furry companions!
