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.

Meet Bow! He's a very sweet 3-year-old male lab. He was happy to show us how good he is with his favorite ball!

At AVMC, we pride ourselves on creating a calm and welcoming environment for your pets during every visit. 🩺 Bringing their favorite toy along can help make the experience even better! Familiar items like a cherished chew toy or plushie carry the comforting scent of home and can help reduce stress while keeping your furry friend happily distracted. 🐾

Our team is here to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for—because their comfort matters to us just as much as their health. Let’s make vet visits a positive experience together! 💕 #

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! 🐾�

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!

Sweet little Stella is getting all the cuddles from Emily in a cozy sling after her dental procedure. We love to “baby” our patients after their treatments to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. A little extra care goes a long way, and we wanted Stella to know she’s in the best hands here.

Meet Arrow, a gentle 9-year-old boxer here for a heart check! After some fainting episodes, her caring pet parent opted for a Holter monitor to track Arrow's heart rhythm 24/7. The monitor applies comfortably with sticky pads and is tucked in a special pocket on her outfit to keep everything secure and cozy. This setup allows us to capture how her heart responds throughout her daily activities, giving us valuable insights to help keep her feeling her best. We’re so proud of Arrow and her pet parent for their dedication to her health! ❤️

Our patient, Trixie, a 7-month-old corgi mix, is enjoying a cozy autumn nap after her spay surgery. Bundled up in warm blankets, her relaxed posture shows she's completely at ease. Rest is essential for healing, as it allows the body to recover and regain strength. We’re glad to provide her with the comfort she needs during her recovery!

When Dracula had recently visited us, we couldn’t resist surprising him with a custom Halloween bandage to match his spooky name! Seen here with Danny, Dracula came in for his K-laser treatments—painless, relaxing therapy that promotes healing. His pet parent has been so dedicated to his care, bringing him in routinely for wound management and laser therapy. Their hands-on participation in Dracula's healing process is truly inspiring, and we’re so grateful to collaborate with them to get Dracula feeling back to normal. He’s doing so well now, and we’re thrilled with his progress!

Yoda and his mom had recently come in for a wellness visit in their Halloween best! We loved his wings and his mom’s coordinating Halloween-themed outfit, which made the visit special! Yoda was a little apprehensive, but we knew just what he needed—squeeze cheese, please! Offering him squeezy cheese during his visit helped him relax and feel at ease, knowing we’d keep him safe and happy throughout his appointment.
