🎓🐾 Celebrating Our Future Veterinarians! 🐾🎓

We’re so proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible veterinary students who are part of our team! 💙

✨ Cristina is in her 3rd year at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She’s passionate about improving patients’ quality of life—especially through dental care—and brings warmth and dedication to every case.

✨ Jadie just began her 1st year at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine! Her goal is to provide affordable, compassionate care while educating clients on how to best care for their pets. She’s excited to grow alongside the animals and families she’ll serve.

✨ Lisa is in her 2nd year at Cornell Vet. She started with us as an undergrad at Rutgers University and continues to impress us with her focus, compassion, and drive to make a difference.

Watching these talented individuals grow into future veterinarians has been such an honor. We’re so lucky to have them as part of our team, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish. 💫🐶🐱

Drop a comment to show them some love and encouragement as they continue their journey! 👏🎉

🌿🚫 Did you know many common household plants can be toxic to cats?

Curious kitties love to chew on greenery, but plants like lilies, azelias, pothos, philodendron, and peace lilies can cause serious health problems—from upset stomachs to kidney failure.

If you’re a cat parent, double-check your houseplants to make sure they’re safe. When in doubt, keep plants out of paw’s reach or choose pet-friendly options like cat grass, spider plants, or bamboo palms. 🌱🐾

👉 If you suspect your cat has nibbled on something poisonous, call us right away. Quick action can save lives!
