Happy Veterinary Receptionist week! We wanted to take a moment to thank our receptionists, Brigitte and Chelsy for everything they do as key members of our team. We are so grateful to have them to keep things running smoothly throughout the day! 💙🎉🐾

Car safety features are designed for humans, not animals, so there's a real risk for dogs to get serious injuries without the proper protection. Using a dog harness can help to minimize force along the neck in the event of a sudden change of speed. Keeping your dog safely harnessed also prevents them from possibly causing an accident if they get curious and distract you while driving. Always attach on the dog's body.

Keep those pets safe!

It's Cat World Domination Day! Let's get real, cat parents! Why is your cat always staring at you? You might think it's a sign of love and wanting attention but maybe it's to collect information on their humans for an upcoming invasion! Either way, we still love them!

It’s foxtail season!
These dangerous weeds when dried out can embed within your pets coat, skin, ear canals, gums, nose, and eyes with their barb like cluster of spikes. This could lead to abscesses, infections, and even potentially death as they work their way through the soft tissue of your pets.
Always brush your pets coat out thoroughly to remove any foxtails that are stuck in the fur. Check in between the webbing of their toes, armpits, chest, and stomach. Inspect your backyard for any foxtails and remove them.
If you suspect your pet has an embedded foxtail seek veterinarian care for removal.
