🌟 Today we’re celebrating the AMAZING kennel attendants across Encore Vet Group! 🌟

All summer long (and every season of the year), these hardworking teams have been keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while going above and beyond in ways that often fly under the radar. These are just a handful of the MANY kennel superstars across Encore! Here are a few highlights that Practice Managers submitted about their amazing teams 💙

✨ At Waggin' Tails Doggie Dude Ranch and Pet Lodge, the team shines in their ability to care for every single type of pet that comes through their doors...making sure each one feels safe and loved while boarding!

✨ At Ark Veterinary Hospital, Wooster Ohio, Andi has dedicated 20 years to caring for pets with love and compassion. She knows each pet’s quirks, has even saved lives by noticing early warning signs, and never hesitates to step up on holidays, weekends, or late evenings. As her team shared: “To say she is dedicated to our patients is an understatement… The Ark would not be the same without her!”

✨ At West Chester Pet Resort, the kennel team goes above and beyond every single day. Dogs drag their owners in because they’re so excited to visit! They also make every day special with creative events like Valentine’s photo shoots, Easter Egg Hunts, reading days with the dogs, and birthday shoutouts!

THANK YOU to every single kennel attendant who brings dedication, compassion, and energy to your teams and the pets in your care. Thank you for all you do!

🚀 Ready to Crush the NAVLE?! 🚀

Join Dr. Tim Loonam for the Anesthesia Session next week!

☀️ Summer fun has been in full swing with our Encore Vet Group teams! ☀️

The Kelly Veterinary Clinic crew got creative tie-dyeing their own KVC shirts, Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital laughed their way through the city on the Cleveland Funny Bus comedy tour, and the Cincinnati Veterinary Surgical and Wellness Center team enjoyed a sunny day kayaking together!

From colorful shirts to comedy and paddles, it’s all about team bonding, laughs, and making memories outside the hospital!

And while the theme is Rhythms of Excellence, we decided to put our own spin on it...we could have gone musical (after all, we’re Encore…), but where’s the fun in that when you can make magic instead?! 🪄
