An email was recently sent out about exciting changes at Winslow about our new practice software and texting service.

We have switched from PetDesk to Rapport's MyPetsWellness App. Similar to PetDesk, Rapport has automated reminders, two-way texting with images, and real-time online scheduling.

Additionally, Rapport’s MyPetsWellness mobile app gives you easy access to essential information to stay on top of your pet’s health, including vaccination history and appointment details.

**11/3/23 UPDATE - BRUISER FOUND A HOME! Thanks for all of your help!

PLEASE SHARE - URGENT - HOME NEEDED!

Bruiser is a 6.5 year old healthy neutered male who's owner passed away unexpectedly and is in need of a new home. Unfortunately the family cannot keep him.

Bruiser loves to go for walks, look out the window and snuggle. He's currently in a home with another large dog that is still a puppy; unsure how he is with cats. Very friendly and energetic.

If you are interested or know someone that might be, please contact Brian at 203-246-4771 for more information.
