Important information Regarding Pharmacy Policy Change;

We are updating the way we handle prescriptions to help support you and your pet.
We will no longer serve as the intermediary for outside pharmacies, instead we are offering these easy options.
* If we have your pet's medication/supplement in stock, you are welcome to purchase it directly from our in-house pharmacy.
* Order through our online pharmacy - We'll send you a convenient direct link.
* Pick up a written prescription here at the clinic and take it to the pharmacy you prefer.
We're here to help you every step of the way - just let us know what works best for you.
Thank you for being a part of our community.

World Kindness Day🗺️

Kindness is revolutionary.
It disrupts hate.
It softens anger.
It rebuilds connection.

Our world doesn't need more wins, more wealth, or more noise. It needs humans choosing humanity.

Today, we choose kindness on purpose.💛

Our Pets & Overeating.

Bloat: The Not-So-Funny Side of Overeating
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat, is when a pet’s stomach fills with gas, food, or fluid and twists on itself. It’s most common in large, deep-chested dogs (think Great Danes, German Shepherds, and your cousin’s dog that looks like a horse), but can happen to any breed.

How to Prevent a Food Coma (or Worse)

Portion control: Your dog doesn’t need a mountain of kibble.

Slow feeders: Great for pets who inhale their food like a vacuum.

Avoid exercise right after meals: No zoomies post-dinner for 45 minutes to an hour!
