📚✏️ Back-to-school season is here!
While Emily heads back to class at UTCVM, Nutty is all packed up with his backpack and lunch bag and ready to enjoy his stay in our boarding facility. 🐶🎒💙
Whether your family is heading back to school or settling into a new routine, don't forget to keep your pets in mind, too! Changes in schedules can sometimes leave our furry friends feeling a little out of sorts, so be sure to make time for walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles.
We hope everyone has a fun, safe, and successful school year! 🍎🐾

Puppy visits are one of our favorite parts of the day! 🐶💙
Sweet Jules stopped by for one of her puppy visits and made herself right at home with one of our technicians. These early visits are an important part of helping puppies grow into happy, healthy adults by keeping them on track with vaccines, monitoring their growth, and making every trip to the vet a positive experience.
We can't wait to watch you grow, Jules! 🐾

Story time with Gracie! 📚🐶💙
During her stay, Gracie cozied up with our kennel technician, Sadie, for a little reading session. We love finding small ways to help our patients feel relaxed, comfortable, and loved while they're with us.
It's safe to say Gracie was a fan of the extra snuggles—even if we're not sure she was paying attention to the story! 🐾💕

Learning never stops when it comes to providing the best care for your pets. 📚🐾
Our doctors and managers recently attended a continuing education (CE) event to expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and stay up to date on the latest advances in veterinary medicine.
Continuing education allows our team to bring new techniques, current recommendations, and the highest standard of care back to the patients we see every day. We're proud to invest in learning so we can continue providing the best possible care for your furry family members. 💙

Rocky gave us quite the surprise when he came in with a bone lodged around his lower jaw! 😳🦴
We're happy to report everything went smoothly with the removal and before long, he was bone-free and feeling much more comfortable!
While chewing on bones can be enjoyable for some dogs, they can sometimes become stuck or cause injuries to the mouth and teeth. If your pet ever gets something lodged in their mouth, avoid trying to force it out yourself and give your veterinarian a call.
We're so glad we could help this sweet boy get back to feeling like himself! 💙🐾

Work hard, cheer hard! ⚾💙
This past weekend, our team enjoyed a fun night together at the Chattanooga Lookouts game! It was the perfect opportunity to relax, share some laughs, and spend time together outside the hospital.
We're so grateful for this amazing team and all they do for our patients and their families every day.

Chapo stopped by for his ProHeart 12 injection and, as always, was the sweetest patient! 💙🐶
One quick injection gives him 12 months of heartworm protection, so he can spend the next year doing what he does best—being a happy, carefree pup.
Heartworm disease is serious, but preventing it doesn't have to be complicated. Ask us if ProHeart 12 is the right choice for your dog at their next visit!
Thanks for being such a good boy, Chapo! 🐾

A few extra snuggles can make all the difference. 💙🐾
Lucas was all smiles while soaking up some love from Tori before his dental procedure. We know vet visits can be stressful, so our team always takes the time to help our patients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
We're so lucky to spend our days loving on sweet pups like Lucas! 🦷🐶
