Yesterday, after 18 years, was my last day at West Rome Animal Clinic. I feel overwhelming gratitude for this place that has been my home for over half my life. Over the last five years as Practice Manager, it has been a pleasure to build a phenomenal team and to serve our clients and patients. I have no doubts or reservations that this team will continue to make me proud.

I am ready to serve even more veterinary teams in my new role and am excited that I can continue to support West Rome in a different capacity.

I’ll be around as my personal pets will continue to come to West Rome for exceptional veterinary care. What a special place…

All my best,

-Kyle

Happy 4th of July from our team to you!

As we gather to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, let's not forget our furry companions! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the festivities:

🎇 Create a Safe Space: Make sure your pets have a quiet, comfortable place to retreat away from the noise.
🐶 Keep Them Indoors: Fireworks can be frightening for pets. Keep them indoors and secure windows and doors.
🐱 Update ID Tags: Ensure your pets' ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get scared and run off.
🐾 Avoid Fireworks: Never use fireworks around pets. They can cause severe burns and trauma.
🎆 Watch the BBQ: Be mindful of what your pets eat. Certain foods can be harmful to them.

Should your pet experience a veterinary emergency, please contact the Northwest Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center at 706-204-8425 or Veterinary Care and Specialty Group of Chattanooga at 423-591-0270.
