Halloween decorations and costumes may be fun for us, but curious animals don't always know what's off-limits.

Keep candy and wrappers away from pets and livestock, secure glow sticks and costume pieces, and make sure feed rooms and other storage areas are properly latched.

A quick safety check can help keep Halloween from becoming an unexpected veterinary visit. 🎃

Once your veterinarian has a treatment plan in place, getting the medications and products you need shouldn't have to feel like another hurdle.

An in-house pharmacy can provide convenient access to prescribed medications, preventives, shampoos, supplements, and other products your pet may need.

It’s one more way veterinary care can continue beyond the exam room.

A healthy herd starts with looking at the bigger picture.
Herd health planning considers factors such as nutrition, reproduction, parasites, vaccination, environment, and patterns across the group, not just what’s happening with one sick animal.

By looking at the herd as a whole, veterinary care can focus on prevention as well as treatment.

A dog who suddenly starts limping may have more going on than a sore paw.

Toe-touching, difficulty rising, reluctance to walk, or a new hind-leg limp can sometimes be associated with a cruciate injury.

An orthopedic evaluation can help determine what's happening with the knee and what treatment options may be appropriate.

If your dog's walk suddenly changes, it's worth paying attention.

🐾 Meet Dex, one of our favorite four-legged coworkers! 🐶💙 Dex comes to work with his mom, McKenzie, quite often, and we think he makes a pretty adorable addition to the team!

Who else thinks every workplace needs a little more wagging tails and puppy love? 🥰🐾

Post-procedure snuggles with Screech! This sweet boy found the coziest hiding spot in his heated blanket to rest and recover after his procedure. Sometimes, a little extra warmth and comfort are just what the doctor ordered! 💕

A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of questions. One of the first is: What exactly are we dealing with?

Cancer care may involve diagnostic sampling, imaging, surgery, medication, and ongoing monitoring. The right approach depends on the individual patient and the diagnosis.

Understanding the disease is an important first step in determining what options may be available.

😹🚨 Caught in the act… again! Dahlia has been getting into the Greenies packages around the clinic, and apparently, those treats aren’t going to investigate themselves! 🐾💚

Someone might need to keep an extra eye on this little troublemaker! 😂

🍎 A little fall fun with our amazing team! Our annual trip to K’naebe’s Apple Orchard is always a sweet way to enjoy some c***r, treats, and time together outside the clinic. Since our clinic is always open, we split into two groups so everyone can enjoy a little orchard fun!

We’re so grateful for the wonderful people who make our team special!

When a pet isn't feeling well, waiting for answers can be difficult.

In-house bloodwork, digital X-rays, and ultrasound allow veterinary teams to gather important information efficiently when a patient is sick or a treatment decision can't wait.

Having diagnostic capabilities available on-site helps your veterinary team move from questions toward answers, and from answers toward a treatment plan.
