Why do cats love boxes so much?
✔️ Cozy hiding spot = safe from “predators”
✔️ Cardboard = the ultimate toy to shred and bite
✔️ Rubbing = marking new territory with their scent
Order your cat’s food and meds through our pharmacy and give them the surprise they really want... a new box. 😻

As a reminder, summer heat can be dangerous for pets, especially dogs with short snouts like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Frenchies.

Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting or drooling, bright red gums, wobbling, or vomiting. If you notice these signs, get your pet to a cool area, offer water, and call us immediately.

It’s !

New kitten at home? Here’s how to help give them the best start:
✔️ Vet visits every 3–4 weeks (until 16 weeks old)
✔️ Kitten-specific food to support development
✔️ Early socialization = less stress later
✔️ Parasite prevention is a must!

Drop a photo of your kitten, past or present, we’d love to see them! 📸

🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.

Fireworks may be fun for us, but for pets, they can be scary, and the booms often continue well past the 4th of July. 🌩️ Thunderstorms and other loud noises can trigger anxiety too.

If your pet is showing signs of stress, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss treatment options to help your pet feel safe and secure year-round. 💙

THANK YOU to everyone who donated toward MJ’s surgery — it was a complete success!

As shown in the last photo, MJ’s uterus was dangerously enlarged (it should only be as thick as a pinky finger). She had an open pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus. In open pyometra, the cervix stays open, allowing pus to drain. In closed pyometra, the cervix is sealed, trapping infection inside — which is even more dangerous.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our rockstar Lead Surgery LVT, Lauren! 🎉🐾

From monitoring the most delicate procedures to keeping our surgical suite running like a well-oiled machine, Lauren is the steady hand and calm voice that makes it all happen. Her skill, compassion, and leadership lift our whole team — and our patients are safer (and snugglier) because of her. 🐶

Thank you for being the surgical superstar you are — we’d be lost without you! 💜
