We aren’t sure we’ve ever seen anything as spooky as Ash. 👻

We love Halloween, dressing up our pets, and including them in all the festivities. But the scariest part of Halloween for us is the potential for chocolate toxicity.

Make sure to keep all Halloween candy tucked away in cabinets or somewhere secure where pets can’t pull it off the counter!

If your pet gets into Halloween candy, don’t wait for symptoms to appear! Contact us, VEG, or call ASPCA poison control center at 1-888-426-4435!

This past weekend, we hosted our 3rd Annual Vets for Vets pop up clinic at the Veterans Healing Farm !🇺🇸

We were able to provide brief wellness exams, heartworm testing, vaccines, and a full year’s worth of heartworm and flea/tick prevention for veterans’ dogs!

If you haven’t heard of the Veterans Healing Farm, we highly recommend checking them out! Their mission is to “enhance the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of our Nation’s Veterans and their families.” They offer a variety of programs, including a garden group, beekeeping squad, and medicinal herb squad. During our visit, they were hosting a pottery class!

This is an event our team loves and looks forward to every year. Thank you to the Veterans Healing Farm for having us and for all the incredible work you do for our veterans and their families! We’re already looking forward to next year! 🐶

Our staff group text recently received a picture that NONE of us were expecting to see….Dr. McMullan enjoying the kids’ tunnels at the Georgia Aquarium while bonding with some penguins! When asked what he was doing, he informed us that he was telling them they were “very handsome boys.” We wouldn’t expect anything less.

Dr. McMullan and Barbara recently returned from a veterinary conference in Atlanta, and the social dinner for the conference took place inside the AMAZING Georgia Aquarium! 🦈 Yes, they got to eat alongside the sharks!

The aquarium is dedicated to conserving aquatic biodiversity around the world and is a leader in aquatic research, continually working to improve animal husbandry, advance veterinary medicine, and develop new approaches to animal care and conservation.

And a special shoutout to our very own Katie D! 💚 One of the conference presentations even featured Katie while discussing the role of social media in veterinary medicine! 📱Way to go, Katie!

Say hello to Cricket! 🦗

Cricket is a 10 year old girlie who has been visiting us regularly for laser treatments! As arthritis starts to catch up with her, we’ve been focusing on her hips and stifles to help ease her discomfort and keep her feeling her best.

She’s continuing her Adequan injections, pain medications, and glucosamine supplements, too, and we’re hopeful that laser therapy will help take some of the pain out of those achy joints!🐶

Thank you so much for celebrating Staff Appreciation Week with us! 💚 Each and every member of our team is a valuable, irreplaceable part of what makes Pinnacle so special. And thank YOU, our wonderful clients, for allowing us to do what we love every day! From pampering, treating, and caring for your pets to building special bonds with them (and maybe occasionally sneaking in a selfie or two 📸), we’re so grateful to be a part of their lives. We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know our amazing team a little better over the past week.

Halloween is right around the corner, and we want to see those creative pet costumes! 🐶🐱🦎🐹 Whether you have a geisha girl, Marilyn Monroe, a skeleton, or your pet simply dressed as a can of tuna, we want to see them ALL! 😂👻

It doesn’t matter if your costumed kiddo is a dog, cat, bearded dragon, guinea pig, or anything in between! Drop a photo of your pet in their costume in the comments for a chance to be featured in our Halloween post this year!

Featuring Lieutenant Carl Fishsticks in his bat costume from last year!

FINALLY! THE REASON FOR THIS ENTIRE WEEK! Introducing our incredible RVTS!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Katie is our lead RVT and the boss of the back of the clinic! She’s been with us for THIRTEEN years, and somehow, she still hasn’t gotten sick of Dr. McMullan’s sass. 😂 She’s his right hand lady for surgery and starts her mornings calculating medications, setting up the surgical suite, and getting gowns and packs ready for the day. She’s a BIG lover of hound dogs and bully breeds, and her laugh is truly contagious. Nobody gets the whole clinic laughing quite like Katie when she laughs so hard she brings herself to tears! When she’s not keeping surgery running smoothly, she’s probably listening to Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings, or Taylor Swift. Yes, she’s a Swiftie. 💁🏻‍♀️

Amy has been with us for TEN years, and she’s truly one of the kindest, most calming people you’ll ever meet. She has magical wavy/curly hair, and we lovingly refer to her as our majestic Friesian horse.🐴 She has a special place in her heart for the elderly critters and is always happy to seek out the golden retriever appointments. 🐾 When she’s not at the clinic, you can find her hiking, visiting pick-your-own flower farms, antiquing, or collecting cool rocks, feathers, dried flowers, and just about anything else she finds outside. This girl simply cannot resist a good trinket! We’re so grateful for the kindness, warmth, and love for animals she’s brought to our team over the last decade.

Katie D. has been with us for NINE years now. We just can’t seem to shake her! She’s constantly singing, and her voice can be heard echoing loudly down the hallways. She’s our angry cat handler, exotic critter enthusiast, plant caretaker, and social media manager all in one!

When she’s not pampering her cats, Carl and Andy, or misting her praying mantis enclosure, you can find her downtown at one of the local karaoke spots. 🎤 Orrr maybe you don’t find her at all…. She’s probably in bed sleeping till 3pm.

Jemmy has been with us for five years now, and they do anything and everything at the clinic! Whether they’re loving on an elderly pit bull, changing the printer toner, educating us about new moss or bug facts, or covering the reception desk, they can truly do it all. Jemmy is a crucial part of our team, and we’re so lucky to have them!

When they’re not at work, they enjoy visiting their parents in Virginia, going fishing, lying on patches of moss, and playing video games.

Elsa recently graduated from AB Tech with her veterinary technology degree! All she has left is passing a tricky test called the VTNE, and then she’ll be an RVT!

Elsa keeps us calm during the most stressful moments. She wears bulky tennis shoes that we lovingly refer to as her “hooves.” She loves the color pink, arts and crafts, and being an aunt to her little niece. 💕

Logan has been with us for ONE WEEK, so we’re just beginning to get to know him! He previously worked in pet stores, and this is his first experience in veterinary medicine. We’re already inspired by his eagerness to learn and ask questions!

Logan loves himself some SpongeBob and Dungeons & Dragons. Thanks for joining us, Logan!!!! We’re pumped to have you!

Dr. McMullan is our collective hospital dad! He’s our founder, head doctor, and has been named Best Vet by Mountain Xpress for SIX YEARS IN A ROW! 🏆 He’s a self-proclaimed “helper” and never leaves us hanging, always making sure his staff is taken care of before heading home. We’re pretty lucky to have someone who cares about us so much!

He has an obsession with beagles, a bizarre taste in music, and spends just about all his free time biking, hiking, or backpacking with his family—or attending a “rock show.” (Yes, he refers to just about every band as a “rock show.” )

Dr. Golden has been with us since 2019, and everyone loves working with her! If the staff is too busy, she doesn’t hesitate to jump in and handle an entire appointment on her own. She’s always ready to lend a hand in the back, whether we need someone to draw blood or tackle a nail trim. She also brings endless humor to the office, which is especially appreciated on stressful days!

When she’s not at work, she’s busy making just about anything and everything…. jam, wreaths, soaps, crackers, you name it! We’re lucky enough to get to enjoy the delicious and creative results of all her many talents. ❤️

Dr. Jiamachello has been with us for three years now, and she’s the sweetest little angel vet around! 😇 She never loses her cool, even when an aggressive pet is trying to eat her alive. She’s calm, collected, and incredibly caring, and she’ll spend as much time as needed with her appointments to make sure every client truly understands their pet’s health. Her patience and compassion make such a difference to our patients, their people, and our team.

Jess has been with us since 2025, and our front desk couldn’t function without her! She may, in fact, be the most professional of all of us. 😂 Her hilarious husband has taken up the habit of sketching out her day at work after she recaps it every night, and these drawings bring us SO much joy! Jess loves donkeys and goats and can commonly be found working as a veterinary assistant in the back, too. She’s truly a jack of all trades.

Jasper is the second newest face at Pinnacle, and we are SO GRATEFUL to have them here! They’ve been with us for just one short month, and we’re so excited to have them on our team! Outside of work, Jasper enjoys wood burning, sewing, painting, and animals in general. 🪡 They also have a cat named Dino-Nugget, which might just be one of the best cat names we’ve ever heard! We’re looking forward to getting to know Jasper better and couldn’t be happier to have them at Pinnacle! 💚
