Our feline friend here is receiving some claw-some laser therapy! 🐾😻 Don’t worry—this isn’t sci-fi, it’s science for your feline! Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness and improves healing.

From arthritis to wound recovery, laser therapy can work wonders for cats! It’s great for:
✔️ Easing joint pain and stiffness.
✔️ Accelerating healing for injuries or surgical sites.
✔️ Reducing inflammation from chronic conditions.

This patient is soaking up all the benefits while staying calm and cozy with the care of our expert team.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re feeling extra loved thanks to our long-time client, Todd. He brought us a beautiful painting he created as a heartfelt thank-you for helping his sweet girl, Luna. 🎨🐾

Luna holds a special place in our hearts, and knowing we’ve made a difference in her life means the world to us. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do—caring for pets and the people who love them. ❤️

Thank you, Todd, for this meaningful gift, and for letting us be a part of Luna’s journey. We’ll treasure this painting just as much as we treasure you both.

Wishing all our clients and their furry Valentines a day filled with love, paw prints, and joy! 🐶🐱❤️

Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting sweet “Sienna” Wright, who came in with Jeff and Sue for a special consultation with Dr. Benson.

Sienna recently received a diabetes diagnosis, and we’re so proud of her loving family for taking the time to learn how to manage her care. During the visit, they explored how to treat diabetes, administer insulin properly, and keep Sienna happy and healthy moving forward. 🩺❤️

Managing a chronic condition like diabetes can feel overwhelming at first, but with a bit of guidance, love, and consistency, pets like Sienna can be their happiest and healthiest selves.

We’re here to help every step of the way—because every pet deserves a happy, healthy life!

Did you know regular nail trims are essential for your pet’s comfort and overall health? Long nails can cause pain, affect how they walk, and even lead to joint issues.

That’s why lots of sweet encouragement is key—just like Daniel & Nicole lovingly trimming Louie’s nails. ❤️ A little patience, some treats, and a whole lot of love make for very happy dogs! 🐶

💅 Trimming your pet’s nails:
✔️ Prevents discomfort while walking.
✔️ Reduces the risk of painful nail breaks.
✔️ Supports healthy posture and joints.

Associated Veterinary Medical Center offers the best "pet"icures so we've heard!😉

When you realize you're dressed exactly like your patient! Sweet Sally (13-year-old Havanese) and Mae picked the same outfit today!

🐾 Baby, it’s cold outside! ❄️ Did you know that dogs can feel the chill during winter, just like us? For many pups—especially smaller breeds, seniors, or those with short coats—a cozy sweater isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a necessity!

Sweaters help keep your dog warm and comfortable when temperatures drop, protecting them from cold winds and icy weather. Plus, they’re an adorable way to show off your furry friend’s personality while keeping them safe.

A big milestone for sweet Mia! She's 16 weeks old and up to 2.06 lbs- and here for her final set of puppy vaccines! We first met Mia and her family in late October; she was 8 weeks old and weighed less than a pound. She had a challenging several weeks, but thanks to her dedicated family and the medical care provided by our team- she is growing and thriving! #

Meet Atticus! He came in for a quick nail trim recently! He did spectacularly. To top it all off, he was wearing his coziest winter gear. Nothing beats the feeling of a fresh "peticure" to keep Atticus feeling fresh as he struts into the New Year. #

Meet Freddy, who’s absolutely loving his cozy catio, built by our LVT Jen's husband! Catios offer indoor cats a safe way to experience the outdoors, providing amazing enrichment that’s beneficial for both their mental and physical health. Fresh air, sunshine, and new sights and sounds can reduce stress, encourage play, and boost overall happiness. If you’re considering giving your indoor cat the gift of a catio, here’s how to make it a reality:

1. Collaborate: If building isn't your specialty, collaborate with a friend or hire a professional to ensure a safe, sturdy structure.
2. Use Safe Materials: Stone or concrete is ideal, as it is easy to clean and sanitize. Sturdy, non-harmful wire will keep the space secure.
3. Design for Security: Make it dig-proof and escape-proof (cover the top!) to keep your cat safely inside and unwanted animals out.
4. Provide Sun and Shade: Choose a spot that offers both sun and shade so your cat can enjoy the best of both worlds!
5. Keep Vaccinations & Flea & Tick Prevention Current: All cats, even those with limited or no access to the outdoors, should be up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick prevention.
6. Inspect and Supervise: Regularly check the structure for wear and supervise your cat’s outdoor time, limiting it to daylight hours.
7. Consider a Cat Door: Direct access from the house to the catio minimizes escape risks and gives your cat safe, convenient access.
8. Microchip Your Cat: Make sure your cat is microchipped for added peace of mind before introducing them to their new catio.�
With a well-designed catio like Freddy’s, you’ll enrich your indoor cat’s life with safe outdoor fun and mental stimulation! 🐾�
What are your favorite ways to enrich your cat’s life? Share your ideas in the comments below—we’d love to hear them!

Meet Knees and Toes, the cutest sibling duo recovering in style! Instead of traditional cones, their pet parent came up with a creative solution: baby t-shirts to protect their spay incisions. Preventing licking and scratching is key for safe healing, and these cozy shirts do the job perfectly—adding warmth and allowing them to rest comfortably. We love seeing such thoughtful ideas that support healing and make recovery a little easier!
