(537)

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.

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!

✨ Team Spotlight on Our Amazing ER Veterinarian & Medical Director ✨

Meet the heart and soul of our hospital, Dr. Lindsay Wright. Not only is she the incredible leader behind AVC’s 24/7 emergency and specialty care hospital, but her journey here is just as inspiring as the care she provides every day.

Dr. Wrights is a proud Boilermaker, earning both her undergraduate and veterinary degrees from Purdue University. Before settling in Salt Lake City, she proudly served in the U.S. army and traveled extensively during deployment.

Dr. Lindsay Wright grew up on a cattle farm in Indiana, sparking her lifelong love for animals—especially cows being her favorite animal and German Shepherds being her favorite dog breed.

Outside of work, Lindsay stays busy traveling, trail running, training for triathlons, reading, gardening, and working on keeping her houseplants alive…we believe in you Dr. Wright!🪴🎍🙌🏻💚

Some fun facts, Lindsay is a diehard Taylor Swift fan and loves collecting all things cow-related. Seriously, if it has a cow pattern, she needs it.🐄

We’re so grateful for her leadership, compassion, and dedication to keeping AVC at the gold standard of veterinary medicine and top notch care. Join us in giving her some love and appreciation for all she does!

🌟 Meet Luna, our little fighter! 🌟

This sweet girl came to us with a life-threatening GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), a condition that required immediate surgical intervention. Thanks to our incredible emergency staff and the skilled hands of Dr. Lindsay Wright, Luna underwent surgery to correct the GDV, perform a gastropexy, and remove her spleen.

Her recovery wasn’t easy—she battled inappetence, gastric ileus, regurgitation, and diarrhea. But Luna’s resilience and the support of her family and care team got her through the toughest days.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that Luna is doing better than ever! Her strength and determination inspire us, her resilience has shone through and we couldn’t be more proud of her journey. She is thriving and living her best life! ❤️🐾

We’re so proud of Luna’s strength and grateful for our dedicated team who acted quickly to save her. Let’s give this angel patient some extra love in the comments! 🐶💖

Meet Hank: A Fighter with a Passion for Snowmobiles!

Hank came to us showing signs of laryngeal paralysis, a condition that can make breathing and everyday activities a challenge for dogs. His symptoms included noisy breathing, coughing, and fatigue during even the simplest exertion. It was especially tough during the warmer months, as he struggled with panting and heat intolerance.

Despite these challenges, Hank’s resilience and his incredible family’s commitment helped him through. With the right care and treatment, he bounced back and regained his quality of life. Now, Hank is back to doing what he loves most—riding his snowmobile with his dad and enjoying the snowy season like a true adventurer!

Here’s to Hank, a reminder that even in the face of obstacles, there’s always hope for a brighter (and snowier) tomorrow! ❄️

Meet our Employee of the week….Selma and her dog Bon 🐶
Selma is a surgical technician assistant and has been with AVC for over a year now. In her free time she likes to hike, read, spend time with her dog and discover new places or TV shows. If Bon had a job, it would be a Forest Ranger. Her favorite memory of Bon was when he got the zoomies during the first snowfall where he ran around the park and Selma threw snowballs for him to catch ☃️She loves to hang out with her friends and family and has a love for trying new things. She enjoys cooking, thrifting books and painting. What she loves most about veterinary medicine is her love for animals, science, and the desire to be there for them when they need her the most. Please help me in giving her a warm welcome and a big thank you for being a vital part of our AVC family!
