❤️Donation Update❤️

Sarah and Dale made it back safely from North Carolina and wanted to share a few highlights from their trip!

We weighed the truck and camper before we loaded donations, to get an accurate weight for the trip. We hit the CAT scale late Sunday night only to find out the Waynesboro Veterinary Clinic collected 1 TON (2,205 lbs) of donations from our local communities!

We made it to Murphy, NC, where we stayed at a local KOA. Apon arriving, we found a few places in the local community who knew of surrounding towns that were hit very hard, displacing humans, animals, homes and properties due to the flooding.

Our first stop was to deliver water, some canned goods, dry goods, blankets, towels, first aid, and a few animal supplies to a local community college that will take the donations to the surrounding towns of Asheville that were destroyed and slightly over looked. They will deliver the supplies to 2 communities in that area, to help people and animals in need.

Our second day we delivered all the pet food to a local animal shelter. The shelter planned to give the donations to the people in the mountains, who were also affected by the flooding. The volunteers at the animal shelter were in disbelief with the truck bed full of donations. They thanked us and the Waynesboro community for being so generous.

We were put into contact with a local food bank that was accepting donations. The food bank was very grateful for the donations as their supplies had been destroyed by the flood. The OVER LOAD of donations that WVC collected, will help hundreds of families.

Everyone that we met was very thankful and felt relieved from the amount of donations they recieved. They could not thank the Waynesboro community enough for their generosity. So far, we know that our donations were able to help at least 5 communities. But there are several more that the animal shelter and food bank will help.

Thank you to everyone that was able to contribute! WE MADE A DIFFERENCE! Our community made a MASSIVE impact in NC!

One of our technician assistants, Sarah Poole, is traveling down south to Tennessee to support hurricane Helene victims. She and her boyfriend, Dale, were planning to vacation in the area prior to the storm hitting. Once Helene hit, Sarah and Dale decided to not cancel their trip, and instead gather as many supplies as they can to deliver them to the folks in need.

Most news outlets and social media posts are displaying horrible images of the struggles our neighbors to the south are enduring. We would like to do whatever we can to help them, as no donation is too small. Therefore, we are asking for all who are able to donate any of the following items for Sarah and Dale to deliver to those in need:
- Water
- Non-perishable foods
- Dog/Cat food
- First Aid Kits
- Soaps/Toiletries
- Blankets/Towels

If you can donate, please bring your donation to our practice by Saturday, October 12th @ 12noon. Thank you for your generosity.

Dear current and future reptile parents,
We would like to share this article with you about the importance of keeping your reptiles away from lightning bugs during the "lightning bug season" 🪳🐜🐞🪰.
We hope you enjoy the article and do not hesitate to call us for an appointment if your reptile needs a check-up! 🐢🐍🦎🦖

Summer celebrations can be stressful for any pet. Below are some tips Trupanion provided to help pet owners during these summer months 🐾☀️

06/12/2024

🐾 Friendly Reminder 🐾

If your furry friend is boarding during the summer, keep in mind that most boarding kennels in our area require that all vaccinations be up to date and that your pet have a current kennel cough and influenza vaccine.
We would suggest that you first check with the kennel as to their requirements. Then give us a call to see when your pets vaccines are due.
You should try to do this at least 8 weeks prior to leaving on your vacation so that you can get an appointment in plenty of time and your pet be properly protected!

06/07/2024

With all of the vacations, traveling, fireworks and family parties this time of year; just a reminder that if your pet gets anxious from any of these activities, please call for calming medications and to see if your yearly exam is up to date.
In case an exam is needed (yearly exams are required by law in order to prescribe medications), we want to make sure we have plenty of time to get your animal seen and to make sure the medication is in stock.

We want your pets to be stress free and relaxed during the hustle and bustle of these summer months. 🙂
