It’s the spooky season 👻 – but we’re hoping to keep it from getting super scary. Here’s the deal: we have the tips, your pets do the tricks, and you keep the treats!
Chocolate and xylitol toxicities, gastrointestinal blockages, and heightened anxiety (strangers knocking on the door) are just some of the common issues we see around this time of year. Being aware is the best thing you can be for Halloween! 😉

- Store Treats Securely: Make sure to keep candies and chocolates well out of reach.
- Choose Pet-Friendly Decor: When decorating, select materials that are safe for pets and secure any small or enticing items to avoid accidents.
- Create a Safe Space: if your pet is prone to anxiety, ensure they have a safe space to be in while trick-or-treaters are stopping by.

It's Veterinary Technician Month! 🎉 and we have a team full of warm, compassionate, incredibly skilled technicians who, let's be honest, we would be nowhere without! They're the first friendly face your animal sees after waking up from anesthetic, they're the careful soul behind fear-free blood draws, and they provide infinite moments of comfort to you, your animals, and the rest of our team. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU TECHS! We see, respect, and recognize the amazing work you do on the daily without a second thought.

Cue the highlight reel... we'll be featuring our techs (and their personal pets) over the coming days.
