On this Memorial Day, we are recognizing the sacrifices of military dogs. The US War Dogs Association is an amazing group, founded in 2000 by 5 dog-handler veterans that served in Vietnam. The organization was created to honor war dogs; past, present and future. It started as a way to raise money to dedicate a memorial in honor of the dogs who serve our country. The USWDA Memorial was dedicated in 2006, and the organization began a new mission: supporting war dog teams through care packages, of which they have sent over 30,000. They now also support retired war dogs, through their War Dogs Prescription Program. Read their full story, and donate or shop to support this amazing organization!

Support retired military working dogs with health care, service awards, care packages, and more. Learn about US War Dogs Association.

It's National Rescue Dog Day! 🐾

Rescue dogs have an incredible way of changing lives. Whether they come from shelters, rescues, or difficult beginnings, these dogs show resilience, loyalty, and so much love.
As a veterinary team, it’s an honor to care for so many rescue pets and watch them thrive in their new homes. From their first exam to their golden years, every step of their journey matters—and we’re here for it.
If you’re considering adding a dog to your family, please consider adopting. You’re not just gaining a pet—you’re giving a second chance.
Already have a rescue at home? We’d love to see them! Share a photo or tell us their story in the comments ❤️

It's Chip your Pet Month! Check out our blog post for information about microchips for pets 🐾

Pet identification is so important these days. Gone are the days when most of us knew our neighbors dog as it meandered through our yard on a sunny day. That's the way it was back in the day. Our family dog ran loose just like the neighbors dogs, and everyone knew their names and where they lived.An...

Happy Dog Mom Day! 🐾💕

Today we’re celebrating all the amazing dog moms who go above and beyond every single day—early morning walks, endless belly rubs, vet visits, giving meds, special diets, and all the love in between.
As a veterinary team, we see firsthand the dedication it takes to keep pets happy and healthy, and we’re so grateful for the care and commitment you give your dogs.
They may not be able to say it, but we know they’re thankful for you every day.
Give your pup an extra hug today (and maybe an extra treat 😉), and take a moment to appreciate the special bond you share.

To all the dog moms out there—thank you for everything you do! 💖

This week is Puppy Mill Action Week 🐾

As a veterinary team, we see the lasting impact that puppy mills can have on dogs—both physically and emotionally. "Puppy MILL" is exactly what it sounds like, a breeding factory. These large-scale facilities prioritize profit over the health and well-being of animals, leading to serious medical issues and lifelong behavioral challenges.
Awareness is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference.
Here’s how you can help:
❤️ Choose adoption or work with responsible, ethical breeders - do your due diligence
❤️ Be cautious of online listings or “deals” for puppies and kittens - don't do it
❤️ Ask questions about where your pet comes from and request to see living conditions
❤️ Do not buy dogs and cats from a pet store
❤️ Support organizations working to end inhumane breeding practices

Every pet deserves a healthy start and a life filled with care, comfort, and compassion. By not supporting puppy mills and backyard breeders, we can help put an end to these practices and decrease pet overpopulation.
If you have questions about choosing a new pet or caring for a rescue, our team is here to help guide you every step of the way.

Today we are recognizing Specially-Abled Pets Day! 🐾💙

Pets with special needs show us every day what resilience, adaptability, and unconditional love truly look like. They don’t see limitations… they just keep living life to the fullest.
As a veterinary team, it’s an honor to support these incredible pets and the devoted families who care for them. From mobility challenges to chronic conditions, every specially-abled pet deserves compassion, patience, and a care plan tailored just for them.

Ways to support specially-abled pets:
💙 Keep up with regular veterinary visits and personalized care plans
💙 Make small home adjustments to improve comfort and mobility
💙 Be patient and celebrate their unique abilities
💙 Consider adopting a special needs pet—they have so much love to give and are often the
last to be adopted

We’re proud to be part of their journey and here to help every step of the way.
If you have a specially-abled pet, we’d love to hear their story or see their photo in the comments!
