Let’s clear the air.
While some places prioritize speed and tough love, we prioritize patience, compassion, and your pet’s emotional well-being. Our Fear Free™ approach means we don’t push pets past their comfort zone.
We absolutely respect and encourage honest feedback—whether through a Google review or a good old-fashioned sit-down. We'll also make sure to take the time and clarify any misunderstandings. We believe transparency is key.
From our website to social media, we're always upfront about what your experience will be when you visit us.
❤️ Drop a heart if you understand where we're coming from!

Achieving greatness requires a strong leadership team!
Here's why we build this team:
🤝 Each area of the hospital is represented on the team-CCR, vet assist, vet nurse, doctor, hospital manager
🗣 Open lines of communication so everyone gets a voice and is advocated for
📝 Show our team that we can be trusted with their feedback and make changes as needed
At its core, we believe team success is all about working together, growing together, and creating an environment where every team member feels valued and heard. 🙌

The holiday hustle and bustle can stress out even the calmest and most well-behaved pups. 👀🎄🐾
Here are some holiday tips from our behaviorist, Kayla:
🐾 Provide your dog a safe space, whether that's a room or a basement where they can be away from the crowd and the loud noises.
🐾 Use toys or treats to distraction your pup,and keep them engaged with the right things.
🐾 If you want your dog in the main area with your guests, use positive reinforcement to reward them for ignoring people and saying calm.
💡 Bonus: A leash can help reinforce good behavior and prevent unwanted actions, like counter surfing and food-stealing! 🍽️🦴

Oh, the holidays - the most wonderful time of the year, and the most busy! With family and friends in and out of your house, your kitty may need some extra comfort so you can enjoy the festivities. 🥳
Create a cozy space just for them. Set them up with a cat tree, litter box, food, water station, and maybe even a @feliwaycat pheromone diffuser for extra calm vibes. 😌
Your pet deserves a low-stress holiday, too! These simple steps will keep your kitty feeling safe and secure all season long. 🐱❤️
Stay tuned for more tips to handle holiday anxiety. 👀

Say hello again to Adam Clayton! 🐾
This sweet guy came in for his 6-month booster vaccine and a little eye checkup. 👁️
We made sure to keep the treats flowing so Adam Clayton would be relaxed and comfortable during his exam. His unique facial shape caused a clogged tear duct, thankfully with some soothing ointment and extra care. His eyes will be just fine. 🙌
Double tap if you love catching up with Adam Clayton! ❤️

Patience is key! 🔑 Keep watching to see why a little extra time can make a big difference in your dog’s training.
Dogs, just like us, need a moment to understand and decide how to respond. With a brief pause to process, they’re more likely to figure out what you’re asking for all on their own! Try it out next time and you’ll be surprised at how quickly your pup can learn new tricks. 😉
