Let's play a matching game! Can you guess which new tattoo belongs to which MCVC staff member?

At Mill Creek Veterinary Clinic, we believe in celebrating our amazing staff! 💙

As a thank-you to our incredible team, we spent the day at Magnolia Tattoo Studio with the talented Molly, supporting another local, woman-owned business. Between the beautiful tattoos, delicious snacks, and lots of laughter, it was the perfect day to relax and spend time together outside the clinic.

Now it's your turn to join the fun! 🎉

Swipe through the photos to see close-ups of each new tattoo and our staff headshots, then tell us in the comments:

🐾 Happy World Veterinarian Day! 🐾

Today, we are celebrating the incredible doctors who keep the heart of Mill Creek Veterinary Clinic beating: Dr. Scheller and Dr. Sims! 🩺❤️

Being a veterinarian takes a unique mix of medical expertise, endless patience, and deep compassion. Whether they are solving a medical mystery, performing surgery, or just giving extra belly rubs to a nervous patient, Dr. Scheller and Dr. Sims treat every pet like family. We are so incredibly lucky to have them leading our team and caring for the Charlottesville community. 🐶🐱

P.S. Outside of being amazing vets, they are just truly incredible women—fun, always ready for a good laugh, and the absolute best teammates we could ask for! 🥂✨

☀️🐾 Summer Safety: Heat, Hikes & Snakes! 🐍

With the summer heat in full swing, we love hitting the trails with our dogs—but warmer weather means taking a few extra precautions. Keep your pups safe on your next walk with these quick tips:

Watch for Snakes: Snakes are active! Stick to well-cleared paths and keep your dog on a leash. Don't let them poke their noses into tall brush or rocky crevices. If you suspect a bite, head straight to a vet immediately.

Test the Ground: If the pavement or path is too hot to hold the back of your hand against for 7 seconds, it’s too hot for your dog's paws. Opt for shady trails or early morning walks.

Beat the Heat: Dogs overheat quickly. Bring plenty of fresh water, take breaks in the shade, and watch for heavy panting or lethargy.

Have fun and stay cool out there! Before you head out on your summer adventures, make sure your pup is up-to-date on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives—give us a call to check!

☀️ HEAT ADVISORY: Keeping Your Pets Cool when the Temperature Skyrockets! 🐾

Whew, it is getting seriously hot out there! As the temperatures rise, our furry friends need a little extra help staying safe, cool, and hydrated.

Here are a few quick tips from the Mill Creek team to keep your pets safe during a heat wave:

💧Hydration is Key: Keep water bowls filled with fresh, cool water both indoors and out.

⚠️ Watch the Pavement: If the asphalt is too hot for the back of your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! Stick to shady walks in the early morning or late evening.

⚠️ Never Leave Pets in Cars: Not even for a quick minute, and even with the windows cracked. Temperatures inside a vehicle can reach dangerous levels in seconds.

⚠️ Limit Exercise: Save the heavy fetch sessions for a cooler day and opt for some indoor brain games instead.

⚠️ Know the Signs of Heatstroke: Heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, excessive drooling, or lethargy. If you notice any of these, get your pet into the AC and call us right away!

Stay safe, stay cool, and find yourself a nice shady spot today!

🐾 WIN A HANDMADE BOWL BY HEATHER! 🐾

Does your pup get nervous at the veterinarian? We want to help change those nerves into tail wags!

Starting today, Mill Creek Veterinary Clinic is launching a Happy Visit Competition.
The patient to come in for the most Happy Visits over the next 3 months will win a beautiful, custom pet bowl handmade right here by our very own Heather!

What is a "Happy Visit"?

If your dog is nervous about visiting the vet, we recommend stopping by when no procedures or injections are due. The goal is simple:

🐾 Walk through the front door.

🐾 Get lots of love and pets from our team.

🐾 Enjoy high-value treats and toys.

Build a positive association with being at the clinic!

The Grand Prize:

Heather has crafted a stunning handmade bowl that fits approximately 1 cup of dry food—perfect for medium to smaller dogs.

Wait! What if my dog is a giant?

Don’t worry! If a larger dog wins the gold, Heather will custom-make a bigger version just for them. (Please note: The pottery process takes a few weeks, so they’ll have to wait a "hot minute" for their custom piece!)

The Rules:

Duration: The contest runs for the next 3 months.

The Goal: Be the patient to obtain the most successful Happy Visits.

How to Enter: Just let the front desk know you’re here for a "Happy Visit" so we can track your progress! 🐾

The sun is out and the days are getting warmer! ☀️

As we all head outdoors to enjoy the weather, remember to keep those water bowls overflowing! A hydrated pet is a happy pet. It’s also the season where fleas and ticks are most active, so now is the perfect time to double-check that your furry family members are up to date on their prevention.

Need to restock or have a question about the best protection for your pet? Give us a call or stop by to see us!
