Aww, pretty Ada!!! 😍
We've seen some fabulous and beautiful bulldogs of all types over the last month or so - English, French, American, you name it!
You can even see her little white teefers in the picture! ❤

It's BRING YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY!!! ❤😍
Despite the photos that we are sharing, Minnie actually belongs to Marissa Wurtz, our lead veterinary technician. However, Minnie gets passed around to everyone on any given day, as she has become a fantastic emotional support puppy! 😍
She is learning a LOT from our team members and getting a LOT of socialization! And, when she's tired out in the evening after a long day at work, she gets her nails painted with pet-safe nail polish! 🥹🥹🥹 And, sometimes Marissa and Minnie match! 😎

Happy FIRST official day of summer!
This is one of our most favorite photos and seems perfect to share again today!
While 2 of these three beautiful Labradors have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, it still remains one of the most feel-good photos of dogs in our parking lot, waiting for their appointment. These three ladies - mother and 2 daughters - were always smiling when they came in. ❤❤❤

Shane smiles every time he comes to the clinic! He likes to greet Sandy at the front desk!
Shane came from a Border Collie rescue and had some very worn teeth when he was adopted - likely from chronic ball chasing. Did you know that average tennis balls actually contain fiberglass fibers and can damage your dog's teeth, especially if they are playing with and chewing on them continuously?
Shane gets his teeth cleaned with us every year, and he wants you to know that it's important to do so . . . so you can show off your pearly whites to the receptionist at the front desk! 😎

Dream is a sweet, sweet Standard Poodle that we see frequently due to a chronic illness that she has. She is so incredibly good for her exams and all of her frequent testing and medicine that we have to give her.
She had recently been to the groomer when we saw her last month - isn't she gorgeous? Can we get some love for Dream? ❤🥹

This is Milo, Marissa's kitty! ❤🥹
Today is Bring Your Cat To Work Day!
Does anybody out there have a workplace that allows them to bring their cats with them? We are grateful that we work in a place that allows us to bring our pets to work with us. ❤❤❤ It's a purr-fect perk!

Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing dog/cat dads and human dads out there!

It's shaping up to be a warm summer already! We shared this infographic last year, but we wanted to remind you how important it is to keep your pets as hydrated as possible during these warm months!
Here are some tips and tricks for this summer! ❤

SANDY!!! 🥹😍
SUNDAY is Sandy's birthday, but we wanted to be sure to let you know about it before the end of the week so that you could wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY if you stop in today! ❤
Sandy has been the smiling face you see behind the reception desk for several years, and she loves making both people and pets feel welcome when they arrive. And, if you happen to have a Black Labrador with you, she just might steal him/her for a smooch and a picture. 😎
Please send many birthday wishes to Sandy today and this weekend! ❤ Thank you for all that you do, Sandy! We love you!

When your pet comes in for his/her annual wellness check-up, make sure that you bring a fresh stool sample with you! It's a good idea to check for internal parasites at least once a year! 🤓
Most internal parasites can be transmitted pet to pet by f***l-oral contamination. If your pet steps in f***l particles and then licks their feet later on, there could be transmission of parasites! Also, WE as pet parents can also contract internal parasites. So, it is always a good idea to screen your pet once a year for any parasites!

If you see this really awesome veterinary technician out and about today, don't forget to wish her a very Happy Birthday!!!
Shannon, we hope that you have a really wonderful and special day! Thank you SO much for all that you do! You are always calm and collected during emergency situations and advocate for fear-free protocols to make our pets as comfortable as possible during their appointments and stays here! Thank you for being you!
❤❤❤

Ariyah ❤❤❤
This little gal was in for her first set of vaccines last month. 🥹 She's full of s***k and super smart!
She belongs to a very lovely family who have been coming to our clinic for many years. One of their previous dogs, Talia, made us think outside the box when it came to providing low-stress handling. She was partially the driving force for some of our sedation protocols that help to reduce a fearful pet's visit at our office. She will always be remembered. ❤
Ariyah's got some big shoes to fill, but she is already winning everyone's hearts over!!!

We've been talking a lot about oral health in pets! Here's a great article written by Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. There is a link within the article that discusses resorptive lesions in cats more thoroughly, which we tend NOT to see in dogs.

Today is National Best Friend Day . . .
When we think of best friends, we have a tendency to think of pets . . .
How about you? Gloria is a sweetheart and she is her family's best friend. ❤
Share with us a photo of your best friend! We can't wait to see them! 🥹

Bear was in last month for a brief hospital stay. He was such a good boy. He was a little picky about eating, but he really enjoyed Dina's "cooking" that involved stirring up the food with a fork and then hand-feeding him forkfuls! 🥹
It was a rare moment to capture, as Dina is known as a "cat whisperer" - to see her hand-feeding a really big dog was pretty precious.
We try really hard to accommodate our patients' emotional needs as much as possible, even when that means hand-feeding them outside of their kennel. ❤

So . . . we've been talking about scheduling your pet for an anesthetic procedure to evaluate his/her teeth and have them cleaned.
You may have heard about "anesthesia-free" dental cleanings for your pet. This may sound like a wonderful idea - your pet will still have his/her oral health taken care of but without the risk involved with general anesthesia.
But, what you may not realize is that this type of dental cleaning cannot reach where a lot of the bacteria is congregating . . . up underneath the gumline.
Here is a great article on the subject, courtesy of the American Veterinary Dental College. They have a lot of great information on their website that you can check out!

Why, yes, they DID coordinate this!
Tori and Sandy both love cheetah print, and so they coordinated a day last month to wear matching scrubs and pants to reflect their style!
They looked pretty purr-fect!!! ❤
Sometimes, it's the little things that make you smile!

Watch out, feline friends! It's Hug Your Cat Day! ❤🥹 We're coming in for a bit of smooshies with you!

So, what does a dental cleaning at the veterinary office actually entail?
We actually call this a COHAT in veterinary medicine: a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment. We don't simply clean your pet's teeth. We evaluate each individual tooth, the gum tissue, the tongue, and the entire oral cavity. We determine whether or not there are any abnormalities within the oral cavity that we need to be aware of (such as masses or lesions), we determine whether or not there are any abnormalities of the teeth themselves (visibly on the crown of the tooth or underneath the gumline based on x-ray results), and we determine whether or not the teeth are properly aligned with one another.
Once we have a better idea of what your pet's tooth status is, we can formulate a plan on how we want to proceed. Hopefully, this means that your pet simply needs his/her teeth to be thoroughly cleaned (with the same types of tools that your own dental hygienist will use). However, if your pet needs extractions, we will formulate a plan on how to do in the safest and most efficient manner. Sometimes, this involves "staging" the dental, in which some extractions are performed later on to reduce the amount of time your pet is under general anesthesia.

Are there any Nintendo fans in our midst? 😎
We just LOVE Bowser! He is SO incredibly happy every time he comes in . . . so much so that he is actually a little bit hard to examine! You have to be quick with the stethoscope and the treats! He's wicked smart and super excited to be around all of the staff members! He totally makes our day when he comes in!
And . . . yes . . . he was named after Bowser from Super Mario Brothers! 🥹🥹🥹
