URGENT ‼️
Please help us treat one of the sweetest kitties we’ve ever met. Kona was first seen last Monday for acting very unlike herself. She’s been hospitalized and had made some improvement but still not eating. It was discovered today that she has a foreign body located in her intestines and now needs emergency surgery to remove it. Any help can be called in directly to the hospital, through Venmo or PayPal via PayPal.me/APCOAngelFund

🎉 Happy Birthday, Dr. Bagdonas-Bailey! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Dr. Bagdonas-Bailey and all the positivity, knowledge, and compassion she brings to our team every day! 💖

Originally from Michigan, she’s a proud Spartan—earning both her B.S. and D.V.M. from Michigan State University (Go Green, Go White! 💚🤍). After spending the past 5 years practicing in Arizona and enjoying everything the desert has to offer, we’re so lucky she made her way back home to Michigan!

Dr. Bagdonas-Bailey has a special passion for feline medicine, cardiology, and wellness and preventative care. As both Fear Free and Cat Friendly certified, she goes above and beyond to make every visit as comfortable as possible for her patients. 🐱

Outside of the clinic, she loves spending time with her husband and her sassy senior kitty, Harrison, getting lost in a great mystery or thriller novel, and staying active.

Our team truly loves working with her—she’s always digging deeper, researching, and finding answers for even the most challenging cases. Her upbeat attitude, kindness, and supportive nature make her an absolute joy to be around every day.

Wishing you the happiest birthday, Dr. Bagdonas-Bailey! We’re so grateful to have you on our team! 🎂🎈

A pet’s palette is not as discerning as you would hope. What’s the weirdest thing your pet has tried to eat? 😳

And if they succeed…give us a call so we can help!

🎉 Happy Birthday, Dr. Sopoliga! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating our incredible Elite Fear Free Certified DVM, Dr. Sopoliga! 🐾 From horses to dogs, cats, and even rats, her passion for animals of all kinds shines through in everything she does.

Her years in emergency medicine have brought an amazing depth of knowledge and skill to our clinic, and we are so grateful to have her on our team. Whether she’s caring for patients or even clicker training her own horse (yes—how cool is that?!), her dedication and compassion never go unnoticed.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Sopoliga enjoys spending quality time with her family—cheering on her kids at sporting events or exploring new and exciting destinations together. She also loves to read, bake, stay active, and soak up time outdoors.

Thank you, Dr. Sopoliga, for all that you do and for the heart you bring to our team each day. We hope your birthday is as amazing as you are! 💖🎂

As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

🎉 Happy Birthday, Katy! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating one of our fantastic veterinary assistants, Katy!

With six years in the veterinary field, Katy continues to grow and thrive here at APCO, bringing compassion, dedication, and positivity to everything she does. We’re so lucky to have her as part of our team!

Outside of work, Katy’s love for animals shines through—she pet sits and fosters pups, helping them find safe and loving homes. She’s also working hard toward her future, attending Oakland Community College and completing prerequisites for a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology.

When she’s not caring for animals or studying, Katy enjoys spending time outdoors—kayaking, fishing, and soaking up the sunshine. At home, she loves relaxing with her partner and their house full of pets while enjoying a good binge-watch.
