An older & wiser pup can add so much to a household. Either as a new addition to a home or a longtime companion, their maturity & laidback lifestyle can often fit in easily, usually forming a true bond with their human.

Have you adopted an older pup or lived with a golden oldie for awhile? We here at Affton understand that special bond.

With such a small and family oriented staff here at Affton Veterinary, our receptionists are always included in Vet Tech appreciation week. They field calls and help fill medications. In addition, they will serve as a tech assistant when we are short staffed. Never underestimate the power of these two ladies!! Lisa is close to celebrating 9 years with us and Sally just celebrated 5! These women will always advocate for you and your pets and will do their absolute best to make our very busy schedule work for you! They get the brunt of all the communication and ALWAYS appreciate your kindness, patience and understanding as they work diligently to fulfill your requests. Let’s hear it for Lisa and Sally!! 💕🐾💕🐾
