**OWNER FOUND! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!**
A small female Yorkie was found on Ridgewood Court off of Abbey Rd. in Amherst and has been brought into our care. She does not have a collar and is very sweet.

If this is your dog, please call us at 902-667-8405.
📌 Please note: Our Facebook messages are not monitored throughout the day, so phone is the best way to reach us.

For the safety of this pup and to ensure she is returned to her rightful family, we will not be sharing a photo at this time. Instead, we will ask for a photo from you to confirm ownership.

Thank you for helping us get this little one home! ❤️

Happy Drews-Day! 🐾

It’s me, Drew, your favorite clinic cat. I just love stretching out in a sunny spot for my naps, but I want to remind everyone to keep their pets safe on these hot days.

🐾 Make sure us furry friends have a cool, shady place to chill.
💧 Keep the water bowls full.
🚗 And seriously… don’t even think about leaving us in the car. Not for “just a minute,” not ever.
That way, all of us furry friends can enjoy the summer safely.

Wishing you a paws-itively cool week! 😺
– Drew💛

Hey furiends, Drew here again – your trusty clinic cat and front desk assistant! 🐱

Just a quick reminder from me (because I’m very responsible): if you have pet insurance, make sure to let our staff know when you’re checking in or out! 🐾📋

We can direct bill Trupanion, and for all other providers, our team will place your invoice in my very official insurance basket and we’ll make sure it gets sent off to your insurance company for you.

Helping you and your furry friends is what I do best!

Happy Drews-Day! 🐾

Hi furiends it’s Drew here, your favorite clinic cat! 😸

I’ve been working hard in the lab this week with my pal RVT Julie (she lets me supervise 🧪), and I learned something cool: we can test for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses with just a simple blood test! 🩸

We’ve been seeing a lot of these cases lately, so if your pet has been feeling under the weather or you suspect they may have Lyme disease, don’t wait! Give us a call we’re here to help!💚

Stay safe out there (and watch out for those pesky ticks)!
