Lately, I’ve been seeing these posts on Facebook about the miracle scaler to remove tartar from your pet’ teeth at home. Have you seen this picture? Please, please, please do not believe this will work. If your pet’s teeth look like this, your pet is in pain and will need sedation to have that removed. And, I’m sure extractions will follow.

Happy belated Boss's Day! (Was Monday October 16th 😞 )!!

I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for our leadership and support at SVC. Their guidance has been instrumental in our growth and success within the company, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you for being excellent bosses!

Our hospital manager, Laura, consistently excels in ensuring that patient and client care remains of the highest quality at SVC. Laura goes the extra mile to ensure that all staff members feel appreciated, listened to, and respected. Her dedication to implementing new policies has significantly improved the way we operate, and we're truly thankful for her efforts.

Our Managing DVM, Dr. Burch, is equally dedicated to ensuring top-notch patient care and client satisfaction. She serves as an outstanding role model for all our staff members including the other Doctors at SVC. We affectionately refer to her as "Dr. Momma Burch" because she's always there to provide guidance and support, whether it's related to Vetmed or our personal lives. Dr. Burch is truly a unique and exceptional individual!
