First visits are always special, and we recently had the pleasure of meeting Hogan!

During the exam, we discovered a yeast infection in one ear and quickly started treatment to provide relief. We also took the opportunity to discuss diets and how they can impact pet health.

Hogan reminded us that regular check-ups are the best way to catch concerns early and keep your furry family members happy and healthy.

Rainy days don’t have to mean muddy paws! ☔️ As we prepare for some wet weather, here’s a tip for our furry friends who may not enjoy going outside to do their business in the rain.

Set up a kiddie pool with a bit of sod inside, placed under a patio covering or any dry spot. This creates a comfy and designated area for your pup to potty without getting soaked!

Blu is a little puppy with a big heart, who found a loving home with her new best friend. At her first visit to the vet, she had a little bladder infection.

With a tiny pill and lots of care, Blu will soon be back to her bouncy self! During her visit, Dr. Barber shared tips about vaccines, healthy food, and how to keep Blu's teeth sparkling clean. They even discussed spaying, ensuring Blu would stay happy and healthy for years to come.

Blu’s days are full of love and wagging tails, and we're excited to watch her grow!

From our arms to the world! We’re bursting with pride (and maybe a few tears) as Kenya, raised by RVT Julie, heads off to her next big adventure with Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). This incredible non-profit provides life-changing service dogs to people with disabilities, giving them a loyal friend and a world of independence, all at no cost.

Kenya spent the first 14 months of her life with Julie, and everyone at the clinic fell in love with her sweet spirit. Many of our team members took Kenya on adventures throughout the community to help prepare her for real-world situations. Now, she’s ready for professional training, where she’ll spend the next 6-9 months honing her skills. With any luck, she’ll soon be matched with someone whose life she’ll change forever.

We’re going to miss her tremendously, but we couldn’t be prouder of how far she’s come. Join us in cheering her on as she takes this big step forward! Follow the link below to watch her matriculation ceremony this Friday at noon—let’s send Kenya off with all the love and support she deserves!
