🎆 A Busy 4th at Points East VSH! 🇺🇸

Yesterday was another incredibly busy holiday – with over 50 patients seen, our team was hard at work ensuring pets got the care they needed. We're incredibly grateful to our clients for their patience and kindness throughout the day as we navigated a full caseload.

Despite the hustle, Olivia, RVT, and Amaya, Pharmacy Technician, were able to pause for just a moment to show a little 4th of July spirit ❤️🤍💙

As we head into the weekend, we anticipate continued high volumes. If you're unsure whether your pet needs to come in, please consider using our online triage tool to help guide your decision:

🎉🐾 Happy Retirement, K9 Eko! 🐾🎉

On June 1st, K9 Eko officially retired from the City of Wilson after a decorated career serving our community with unwavering loyalty and strength.

It has been an absolute privilege to care for Eko—heroes like him remind us why we do what we do. 💙
