We're celebrating "Bring Your Elf to Work Day" at PVH with The Zachary Chamber of Commerce and Peppermint Chamberbelle!

She's been having a ball meeting our patients. Ceaser, our biggest canine patient, gave her a wild ride. Then she helped us give Ernie the rabbit a nail trim by keeping him calm. She even got to use the Phovia unit to help heal a wound. We were so curious about her health that we gave her a full exam. Her radiographs and ultrasound results are perfect! Then she helped us run some tests on a sick patient.

We hope you can see how much fun she had at Plains Veterinary Hospital!

🎅🐾 Exciting News at PVH 🐾🎅

Guess who stopped by for a visit? None other than Santa Claus himself, and this time he was in his civilian wear! 🎅✨ It’s not every day we get to see Santa out of his iconic red suit, but rest assured, he’s gearing up for Christmas.

Santa brought his trusty dog along for a check-up with Dr. Liz, and we had a blast making sure his furry friend is in tip-top shape for the big night. 🐶❤️

Santa also shared his travel info for the reindeer early this year, so we have plenty of time to write all those health certificates. 🦌🛷We’re all set to ensure a smooth and healthy journey for Santa and his team!

Stay tuned for more holiday fun and remember to keep your pets happy and healthy this festive season! 🎄🐾
