As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time for family gatherings, festive meals, and tasty treats! 🥧🍗 But let’s keep in mind that some of our favorite Thanksgiving foods can be harmful to our pets.

🌟 "Beyond the Scrubs" 🌟

This week we’ve been highlighting our incredible vet techs, but today we want to go beyond the scrubs. Our techs are not just skilled professionals — they’re empathetic caregivers, patient advocates, and the ones who often provide that extra cuddle or soothing voice when your pets need it most. 🐾💙

To our vet techs: Thank you for putting your heart into everything you do, even the behind-the-scenes work that often goes unnoticed but never unappreciated. You truly are the backbone of our team.
