🐾💚 Happy Registered Veterinary Technician Month! 💚🐾

This month, we’re celebrating the incredible dedication, compassion, and expertise of our RVTs!

RVTs are an essential part of veterinary medicine, going above and beyond every day to provide exceptional care to their patients. From monitoring anesthesia and assisting with surgeries to performing diagnostics, supporting clients, comforting anxious pets, and advocating for animal health and welfare, their knowledge and skills make a difference in countless lives.

Behind every wagging tail, comforting cuddle, successful procedure, and compassionate moment is an RVT who cares deeply about the animals they serve. Their hard work, adaptability, teamwork, and commitment to lifelong learning help make outstanding veterinary care possible.

💛To Carol, Michelle and Cheyanne: thank you for everything you do, both seen and unseen. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and our team, our patients, and their families are better because of you!

🍂🐾 Fall Is Here, but Tick Season Isn’t Over! 🐾🍂

Did you know ticks can remain active during the fall, even when temperatures start to cool? They can hide in tall grass, wooded areas, and piles of leaves, putting our furry friends at risk!

Keep your pets protected this fall:

- Check daily: Look for ticks after outdoor adventures, especially around the ears, neck, paws, and under the legs.

- Stay protected: Keep up with tick prevention as recommended by your veterinarian.

- Be mindful outdoors: Stick to cleared paths and avoid tall grass and dense brush when possible.

- Act quickly: Remove attached ticks promptly and contact your veterinarian if you need help or your pet shows signs of illness.

✅Remember, cooler weather doesn’t always mean tick season is over! Keep prevention a priority and enjoy the beautiful fall weather safely with your pets.

🐾 SURGERY IS DONE… NOW IT’S PAJAMA TIME! 😂🩺

Your pet may think their incision is the world’s newest snack, but licking and chewing can cause irritation, infection, or even open the incision. Nobody wants a sequel to surgery!

That’s why after-surgery wear is a must! Whether it’s a recovery suit or the infamous cone of shame, keeping those curious tongues away helps your pet heal safely.

- Rest and relaxation are mandatory (sorry, no parkour off the couch!).
- Keep the incision clean, dry, and untouched.
- Follow your vet’s post-op instructions.

Your pet might look a little ridiculous in their new outfit, but healing is always in style!🐶🐱

Remember: No licking, no chewing, no DIY surgery! Let the professionals handle the stitches while your pet handles the naps.

A little extra love for Mini! 🐾🦷

Mini received some much-needed cuddles and comfort after her recent dental procedure! Sometimes, a little extra snuggle time is just what the doctor ordered while our furry friends recover.

🦷 Healthy smiles start at home! Keeping those pearly whites healthy between professional dental cleanings is so important.
Here are a few ways to help:
✨ Brush your pet’s teeth daily with a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste.
✨ Introduce toothbrushing gradually and make it a positive experience with praise and rewards.
✨ Consider VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) approved dental diets, dental chews, or oral-care products.
✨ Schedule regular veterinary dental checkups so plaque, tartar, and potential dental problems can be addressed early.
✨ Remember that professional dental cleanings are sometimes necessary, even with a great home-care routine!

🐾Treat bar review: 10/10. Would beg again. 😂

Mack stopped by our treat bar after her appointment and got to pick out her very own treat…and apparently, one was NOT enough!

She was officially accepting applications for “just one more,” and honestly, we couldn’t blame her.

Our treat bar has something for everyone, pets AND their humans! Because after a good appointment, you’ve earned a little reward too.

Come get pampered, pick your treat, and prepare for the inevitable: “Can I have another?” 😏

✨ Supporting Healing with Therapeutic Laser Therapy ✨

When Revan came to our hospital with a wound that had been slow to heal, we explored additional treatment options to support the healing process. One of these was therapeutic laser therapy.

Therapeutic laser therapy uses targeted light energy to support the body’s natural healing response. Depending on the condition and treatment plan, it may help:

- Support tissue repair and wound healing
- Reduce inflammation and associated discomfort
- Promote local circulation and cellular activity
- Support the formation of healthy tissue

Revan’s case is a reminder that wound healing can take time, and sometimes a multimodal approach is needed. Therapeutic laser therapy can be a valuable part of a comprehensive treatment plan when appropriately selected by the veterinary care team.

We’re so pleased to be part of Revan’s healing journey!

Happy first birthday to us! 🎈

A year ago we opened our doors, and this community welcomed us with open arms (and wagging tails). Thank you for your trust, your support, and for letting us be part of your pets' lives. We love what we do, and we can't wait to keep providing great care for years to come.

Curious what our first year looked like? Swipe to see the numbers! 👉

🐾 Welcome to the clinic, Mac! 🐾

We recently had the sweetest little visitor stop by to say hello.

Mac was more than happy to soak up some attention and get plenty of cuddles from Dr. Jewett. Needless to say, he made quite the impression on our team!

We’re looking forward to watching this adorable pup grow and hopefully seeing lots more of those puppy cuddles in the future!
