July is Lost Pet Prevention month.
Lost pets can happen any time, any day, anywhere. Accidental escapes, off leash walks gone rogue, in-my-yard-only cats finally hopped that fence.. anything is possible!
Many lost pet scenarios can be avoided or minimized by small changes in the home, and lost pets can be reunited when they have accurate and up to date forms of identification. The link below has great information on how to keep our pets safe & comfortable!

Does your dog go to work with you?
Taking your dog to work is good for not only us, but our pets too! Dogs relieve stress, promote creativity and enhance work/life balance. Not to mention how great the mid-afternoon play sessions or snuggles are!

Training your bird can help us facilitate a voluntary or low stress exam!

This past week, Dr. Mann and assistant Kelsey, had the opportunity to speak with a local Kindergarten class about Veterinary Medicine!
The kids helped our team work out a very important patients case - our stuffed friend Bella was seemingly more tired and less motivated than usual.
After learning how to perform a physical exam, running some bloodwork and doing some x-rays, these bright little minds figured out that our friend Bella is going to have 6 babies! Oh man, what a great discovery for all of these future veterinarians! 😉

A morning was well spent with these inquisitive little minds. Many questions about house pets, farm animals, exotic pets, and even dinosaurs were fielded by our fantastic team!

A big thank you goes to the school that invited us out for a talk, we loved seeing you all!
Happy learning kids, we hope to see you in the Veterinary field one day 💓🐶🐾
