🐾 Patients of the Week: Nugget & Piggie! 🐾

Meet bulldog duo Nugget, 9, and Piggie, 4—two housemates with very different opinions about veterinary visits. 😂

Piggie’s philosophy was pretty simple: keep the snacks and belly rubs coming, and you can do whatever you need to do. She was completely unbothered by the whole process. ❤️

Nugget, on the other hand, had a few more concerns. When he started getting stressed during his blood draw, Mom suggested we try the sling she uses for his nail trims.

And although his expression clearly said, “I have questions about this arrangement…” 😂, the sling worked like a charm! Nugget relaxed enough for us to get what we needed without continuing to struggle with him.

One of the nice things about seeing pets at home is that we can often use the things that already work for them—and sometimes a little creativity makes everybody’s day easier.

Thanks for keeping us entertained, Nugget and Piggie! 🐾

🐾 This week’s Patients of the Week are kitty siblings Cleo Patches and Augie!

These one-year-old cuties had very different approaches to their housecall visit. Cleo (the tortie) preferred a little privacy—hiding in the laundry basket before her exam and vaccines, then settling into the bookshelf afterward. Apparently, she wanted to be “checked out” in more ways than one! 📚😸

Augie (the gray tuxedo), meanwhile, was happy to make friends and pose for his photo. 📸

Same family, same age, two very different personalities! Even at home, some kitties are social butterflies while others prefer a cozy hiding spot. We love getting to know each patient on their own terms. ❤️

Is your kitty more like Cleo or Augie?

🐾 Patient of the Week: Rocky (aka Ricky Bobby)! 🐾

Meet Rocky, a 5-year-old French Bulldog who was an absolute superstar for his visit! ❤️

Rocky settled right into his chair and patiently let us do all the things we needed to do — with a little help from his favorite distraction treats, of course.

Peanut butter was already a hit, but then mom shared a little whipped cream from her drink…and Rocky made sure to wear both snacks proudly all over his face. 😂

He was such a good boy for his appointment, and honestly, we think the messy face just added to the charm.

Thanks for being such a sweet patient, Rocky — or should we say Ricky Bobby! 🐾

🐾 Patient of the Week: Dolly! 🐾

Meet Dolly, a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees with beauty, brains… and apparently door-opening skills. 😂

During our visit, Dolly proudly demonstrated one of her special talents: opening the front door all by herself.

Unfortunately, she had already put that skill to use earlier in the week when she let herself—and her two dog sisters—out of the house for a little unscheduled adventure. Thankfully, the lawn maintenance crew spotted the escapees and called Mom to let her know that everyone had decided to take themselves outside. 😳🐶🐶🐶

Dolly was sweet enough to show us exactly how the operation works during her appointment, just in case we doubted her abilities.

We’re pretty sure she considers herself less of an escape artist and more of a self-appointed doorman. ❤️

Thanks for keeping us entertained, Dolly!

❤️ **20 YEARS OF AT HOME VETERINARY CARE** ❤️

This month marks a milestone that is hard for me to believe — **20 years ago, I started At Home Veterinary Care.**

The practice began in 2006 as a way for me to continue doing the work I loved as a veterinarian while also being the mom I wanted to be. At the time, our daughters were just 1 and 4 years old…and shortly after I launched the practice, we discovered that daughter #3 was on the way!

What began as a way to balance veterinary medicine and motherhood grew into something I could never have fully imagined.

For the first 6 years, I had the privilege of caring for pets and their families in Florida, and for the past 14 years, I have been fortunate to continue that work here in Virginia.

Over those 20 years, I have been welcomed into so many homes and trusted with so many beloved pets — from puppies and kittens to seniors, from routine wellness visits to acupuncture and pain management, and through some of the most difficult goodbyes a family can face.

It has truly been my honor and privilege to care for your pets in the place they are most comfortable: home.

To every family who has trusted me with a beloved pet, referred a friend, shared a kind word, or supported this little housecall practice along the way — **thank you.** You are the reason At Home Veterinary Care is celebrating 20 years. ❤️🐾

Here’s to the pets we have loved, the families I have been fortunate enough to know, and the years still ahead.

🐾 Patient of the Week: Jack! 🐾

Meet Jack, a very sweet Goldendoodle whose mom noticed that he just wasn’t quite acting like himself. He had stopped jumping onto the bed and into the car, and although nothing seemed dramatically wrong, he simply seemed a little “off.”

Jack had previously experienced some rear-leg limping and was diagnosed with a cruciate tear by his regular veterinarian. He improved enough that his family did not pursue surgery, and he was already receiving a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and a joint-support supplement to help keep him comfortable.

But his mom was still noticing those subtle changes in his activity. During our exam, Jack was sensitive to palpation along his spine, so we added acupuncture to his existing comfort plan.

Jack was an absolute champ for his first treatment—calm, sweet, and wonderfully tolerant of his needles. ❤️

At his recheck acupuncture visit yesterday, his mom reported that Jack has been running more and seems much happier! Those are exactly the kinds of changes we love to hear about.

Medications and joint-support products can be very helpful, and acupuncture can be another tool we use alongside them to help support comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Sometimes a multimodal approach helps us give our patients that little bit of extra support they need. 🐾
