Today is Smokey The Bear's 80th Birthday!

Although we practice small animal emergency medicine Smokey's message still has an impact on our patients. Wildfires not only impact wildlife, they can also have an impact on homes and family pets that are having their lives disrupted by emergency evacuations, being scared and running off, or even worse not being able to escape. Always practice fire safety, and be prepared in the event that an emergency arises. As Smokey says "Only you can prevent wildfires".

Smokey Bear, the iconic symbol of wildfire prevention, is celebrating his 80th birthday on Friday, Aug. 9.Smokey made his debut on a 1944 wildfire prevention po

Today is Assistance Dog Day to help kick off International Assistance Dog Week – August 4-10, 2024.

Today we want to recognize service dogs that are task trained to help their owner/handlers. Service dogs can be task trained to do many things to assist their handler in everyday life such as being a seeing eye dog, seizure alert, diabetic alert, cardiac alert, PTSD, and along with many other life saving tasks. Service dogs go through extensive training most often starting as a young puppy until adulthood. Thanks to the dedicated trainers these dogs can give their owners/handlers a more normal life as they assist with everyday tasks.

Did you know??
-Service dogs date back to the 1700's to assist injured soldiers in war?
-Guide dogs for the blind was started in 1942.
-In 1990 American with Disability Act (ADA) recognized service dogs.

#milesmidweekmood this week is Miles sharing with everyone just how stressful life is as a clinic cat. As you can see we “lock” him up against his will 😂

This week for #milesmidweekmood Miles just wanted to say “Duck 🦆 Duck 🦆 NEWS 📰 !!” and that we are going 24/7 in August. You may just be one lucky 🍀 duck 🦆 and catch one of Miles’s friends helping spread the word! #duckducknews

We are open 24 hours for all of your critical care and emergency needs through July 9th at 8am. From our VES family to yours we hope that you have a safe and Happy Independence Day!

Is your July 4th checklist complete yet? Did you know that more pets go missing during the July 4th holiday than any other time of the year? We know that's scary to think of, but with the right preparation and knowledge you can keep your pets safe.

With today having a high of 94 degrees it’s time to bring back the PSA on hot cars and pets. This is part 2 of 2.

#goodboykoi wants to know...If your pet was a superhero, what power would they have?

Today is International Tug-Of-War Day! Does your pup love to play like Tritt does? Here are a few rules to always follow: You should always be the one to initiate the game, not your dog. Always be in control. Mix in training breaks by asking for a sit, down, stand, down, and then restart. DO NOT allow your dog to put teeth on you if this happens vocalize to alert you dog, then walk away with the toy. If your dog tries to steal the toy give them a “time-out” and play after 30 seconds. Happy Tugging!

Happy Pawlentine’s 🐾❤️ Day from our Valentine’s ❤️ to yours!

We’ve shown you Miles doing quality checks on the incubators, well we have to show how he gets there. This week on #milesmidweekmood Miles will guide you through his steps to accessing the incubators 😂

Our staff bundled up🧣🧤🥾in their snow ❄️ gear and made the trek into work. We are fully staffed and here for your emergency needs on this snow ❄️ day!

Miles was delivered a Christmas present a little late as it had to have time to grow. So if you can’t tell #milesmidweekmood this week is pure excitement to the fact both and fellow clinic kitties were given cat grass to enjoy. Although Miles was the most excited about his gift he did willingly share. Pictures and videos are in the comments of Millie enjoying it as well!

With the all the holiday hustle we forgot to share two very special birthdays 🎂 last week. Eve who is owned by LVT Jessica celebrated her 5th birthday 🎉 on Christmas Eve, and Tritt owned by LVT Ashley celebrated his 4th birthday 🥳 on the 28th. Both Eve and Tritt are two of our life saving blood 🩸 donors so please help us celebrate 🎊 these two special pups! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉🎁🎊🎂🎈

‘‘Twas a night shift spent I n the er, when all through the clinic all the patients were resting, not an IV pump sounding; the ornaments were hung by the staff with care, In hopes that Santa Paws will soon be there; The cats and dogs were snug in their beds dreaming of treats as they danced in their heads”
