🐾 Pig Needs a Safe Place to Heal 🐾

Sweet Pig has already been through more than any animal should. Just when she thought she was on the road to recovery, recent bloodwork showed that something still isn’t right.

Right now, Pig needs something simple but incredibly important: a quiet, loving home where she can rest while our veterinary team works to figure out the medical challenges she’s facing.

She’s only asking for one month. One month of soft blankets, gentle care, and someone willing to give her a chance to heal.

The best part? You won’t be doing it alone. We’ll provide all supplies, food, and medical care through our clinic — Pig just needs you.

If you’ve ever wondered whether fostering can truly change a life, this is that moment. Your home could be the difference between stress and comfort, fear and healing, uncertainty and hope.

Can you open your heart and home to Pig during this critical time?

Together, we can give Pig the brighter future she deserves ❤️

Spring toxins are here!

Spring doesn’t just bring warmer weather. It brings predictable increases in toxic exposures.🌷

From lilies and chocolate to xylitol, rodenticides, and cleaning products, seasonal risks shift quickly this time of year. The challenge? Many clients don’t recognize the danger until symptoms appear and by then, time matters.

In this Trends article, developed with Renee Schmid, DVM, DABT, DABVT (Pet Poison Helpline), you’ll find:

🌿 Common spring toxins
👀 Clinical signs to watch for
🩺 Triage and team communication considerations
🗣️ Practical client education strategies

It also includes a printable client handout 📄 you can use in exam rooms or at discharge to reinforce prevention and early intervention.

Because when it comes to toxic exposures, early recognition — even before symptoms — can make all the difference.
