Northrock Hospital for Animals

Hello friends! As the holidays are quickly approaching we want to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄 ❤️Things here at Northrock have been very busy and with that has come a lot of change!😅 In the last few weeks we have unfortuantely said goodbye to three amazing employees that we miss so very much! 😪 Technicians Angie, Danielle, and Steven have all left Northrock in pursuit of everything from new adventures, moving overseas, to moving back to their homeplace. ✈️ We wish them all the best in their journies. Between "Thing 1 and Thing 2", to our beloved Steven who we had the pleasure of having for 14 years, Northrock just has not been feeling the same without them! These three people brought so much happiness, laughter, and knowledge to our facility and we will never be able to replace all the wonderful things they brought to us. 🐾 We appreciate everything each one of you brought to Northrock and want you to know we miss you so much! ❤️ We know your futures are bright and we wish you all the success in the world! 🐾

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 Here are our 2017 pet costume photo submissions! Thank you all so much to everyone who shared their pet's photo! 🐾 Stay warm out there tonight and ENJOY yourselves!

March is National Pet Nutrition Awareness Month! ⭐️When it comes to finding the right food for your beloved dog or cat, the options can be overwhelming. 😰 It is important to consider your pet and their specific needs when choosing a diet, all while making sure they are getting the nutrients they need. It is very crucial to understand that what may be healthy for humans, is not always healthy for your pet. 🚫 Be sure that the products you are feeding are tested and have backing research proving they work to give your furry friend what they need to live a healthy life! We here at Northrock Hospital for Animals fully stand behind Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Royal Canin, and Purina diets. ⭐️ The video below helps clear up the confusion on all of the options you find yourself faced with, as well as why you should chose certain nutrition. If you ever find yourself with questions regarding your pets diet, please feel free to reach us and we would be glad to help you!🐾

Hey there everybody! We hope you have all had a great week! As we are nearing the end of Feature Friday with two employees to go, it is time for another doctor to get her time in the spotlight! Introducing to you: Dr. Michelle Rypma After graduating Kansas State University in 1996, Dr. Rypma came to Northrock in April of 2013. From the start of her childhood, she knew right away that being a veterinarian was her destiny. With a love for all living things, she often shadowed a family friend veterinarian in her junior high years. Dr. Rypma shares her home with three cool kitties, Basil, Reese, and Miyagi! She often takes little Panda, our office kitten, home to play with her kitty crew! While she may share her home with feline friends, she has a huge love for dogs too! She is planning on getting a puppy in the near future and she can't wait! Of all the veterinary work, Dr. Rypma says she really enjoys surgery time. Particularly, removing bladder stones and eye balls are among her top favorites! She says removing bladder stones is almost like opening a present on Christmas morning, "Ya never know what you're gonna get!" In her spare time away from the clinic, Dr. Rypma enjoys hiking,camping, fishing, and reading. She also devotes a great amount of her time to the Women's Ministry Leader at Celebration Recovery! Her church and the recovery program is something very near and dear to her heart. Dr. Rypma is a first class veterinarian that dedicates her entire heart and focus to her patients. The staff and patients at Northrock are very blessed to have her in their lives! Her expertise and dedication to the well being of her patients and their owners is irreplaceable! Here is to Dr. Rypma and all of her success and future accomplishments! We can't wait to see what the future holds!
