🎲🍭 Welcome to Candyland: Vet Clinic Edition! 🍭🎲

We wanted a fun way to keep everyone motivated while working toward our clinic goals, so we turned them into a friendly game of Candyland! Every completed task helped our players move forward, with a few silly setbacks along the way (because let’s be honest, every clinic has its share of unexpected bumps in the road 😂).

From wellness plans and dental estimates to flea infestations and a**l gland abscesses, our team has been racing their way through Candyland one goal at a time! 🐾🏁

A little healthy competition, a lot of teamwork, and plenty of laughs have made this one of our favorite projects yet. We’re so proud of how hard everyone has worked and how much fun they’ve had doing it! 💙🍬

☀️🐾 Heat Awareness Day 🐾☀️

As temperatures rise, it’s important to remember that heat can become dangerous for pets very quickly.

Pets can overheat in minutes, especially during walks, outdoor playtime, or time spent in parked vehicles. Even on mildly warm days, hot pavement and high humidity can put your furry friends at risk. 🐶🐱

Help keep your pets safe this summer by:
💧 Providing plenty of fresh water
🌳 Making sure they have access to shade
🚫 Never leaving pets in parked cars
🔥 Avoiding walks during the hottest parts of the day
🐾 Checking pavement temperatures before walks

Signs of heat exhaustion can include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you think your pet may be overheating, seek veterinary care immediately.

Stay cool and stay safe this summer! 💙

Meet Birdie, a 2-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix with one tough little spirit 🐶💛✨

Birdie was recently hospitalized due to an infection in her liver 🏥🥺 and her family was facing a very overwhelming situation. Thankfully, pet insurance helped cover a large portion of her medical expenses 🙌💵 turning an estimated $8,000 bill into just under $2,000 🤯👏

Unexpected emergencies can happen at any age, even for young pets like Birdie 🐾❤️ Pet insurance can make all the difference when it comes to saying “yes” to the care your pet needs without the added financial stress 🩺✨

We’re so happy Birdie is getting the treatment she needs and wish her a smooth recovery! 🐕💖🐾

Ocean came in for acupuncture to help manage facial paralysis affecting his left ear. After a neurology evaluation in 2025, it was determined that one of the auricular branches of the facial nerve was likely affected. This nerve helps control the muscles responsible for ear movement, which explains the drooping of his ear.

One of Ocean’s main symptoms was frequent head shaking, but after just three acupuncture treatments, that has already improved significantly! While the ear droop is still present, nerve healing can take time, and we’re hopeful continued treatments will keep helping him progress. 🐾

🌸 Monday Trivia Answer – May Edition! 🌸

Here’s the answer! 🥁

The correct answer is: 🌸 C) Lilies

Lilies are highly toxic to cats—even small exposures like pollen or a few licks of water from a vase can be dangerous. If you have cats at home, it’s best to avoid lilies altogether. 🐱⚠️
