🐾 Meet Taylor🐾
One of those people who was basically born into veterinary medicine (her mom’s a vet tech, so it’s in her DNA). With 17 years of experience in everything from ER and urgent care to surgery and client education, she’s the calm, capable energy every pet (and pet parent) needs. ✨

Fear Free certified and endlessly compassionate, Taylor’s all about making each visit smoother, safer, and sweeter—usually with a specialty puppuccino involved. ☕🐶

At home, she runs what Dr. Hunter calls “The Sanctuary,” complete with rescue cats and dogs, chickens named after famous female authors, turtles, hermit crabs, and a collection of fish, shrimp, and snails. Add in carnivorous plants, gardening dreams, and soon—beekeeping!—and you’ve got one seriously cool nature-loving vet pro. 🌿🐝

Whether she’s hiking, building Star Wars Lego sets, or helping your pet feel their best, Taylor brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of animal love to everything she does. 💛

November is National Senior Pet Month — a time to celebrate the golden oldies who’ve filled our lives with love, loyalty, and maybe a little bit of sass. 💛🐾
As pets age, their needs change — but with the right care, they can keep thriving well into their senior years.
Here are a few ways to keep them feeling their best:
🩺 Regular checkups: Early detection is key to keeping health issues manageable.
🍗 Tailored nutrition: Senior pets often need special diets for joint or digestive support.
💤 Comfort matters: Soft beds, warm spots, and easy access to food and water go a long way.
At WAG Vet, we’re all about helping your senior pets age gracefully — because every gray whisker deserves the good life. 💫

🎃🐾 Keeping it Spooky (and Safe) 👻💛

Halloween is all treats and no tricks… until your pet finds the candy stash. Here’s how to keep the night fun and fear-free:

🍫 No chocolate or candy for pets — especially anything with xylitol.
🕯️ Keep decorations pet-proof — cords, candles, and fake cobwebs can cause real scares.
👻 Costume check — make sure your pet can breathe, move, and see comfortably.
🚪 Door duty — trick-or-treaters mean extra chances for escape, so secure your pets before the bell rings.

💡 WAG Tip: A quiet room, their favorite bed, and a few extra cuddles go a long way on spooky nights.

✨ Columbia friends, if your pet does get into something scary, our team’s here to help make it all better — no magic wand required. 🧡

It’s National Cat Day — aka the purrfect excuse to celebrate the tiny, fluffy rulers of our homes. 🐱👑
Whether your cat is a professional napper, a laser-pointer athlete, or a snack-time negotiator, today’s all about them (let’s be honest… every day kind of is).
Here’s to the headbutts, the zoomies, and the judgmental stares we wouldn’t trade for the world. 💛

☀️ Meet Grace — equal parts heart, hustle, and sunshine! With about 3 years of hands-on experience in vet med, she’s worked her way from receptionist to vet assistant, now spending her days helping with exams, running diagnostics, monitoring anesthesia, and giving every patient the comfort and care they deserve. 🐾💛

Armed with a B.S. in Biological & Marine Sciences and Fear Free certification, Grace brings calm confidence and curiosity to every furry (or whiskered!) friend she meets.
When she’s not in scrubs, you’ll probably find her at the beach, hiking, swimming, or stargazing after a weekend of live music. And at home? She’s got her hands full with Ani — a sweet kitten from Elgin who’s always ready with kisses and cuddles. 🐱✨

Fun fact: Grace fosters at least one litter of kittens every year and proudly wears her “certified cat lady” title. 😻

✨Olivia✨
Since 2019, Olivia has worked her way through nearly every corner of veterinary medicine—starting in kennels, moving up to reception, and eventually finding her stride as a veterinary assistant. At WAG Vet, she’s the ultimate team player, jumping in wherever she’s needed to keep the hospital running smoothly and pets feeling their best.

Her love for animals of all shapes and sizes is what drives her—whether she’s helping a nervous pet settle in or working toward her Fear Free certification to make every visit less stressful.

At home, Olivia’s life is just as full of personality as her workday. She shares her world with Kane, a 7-year-old lab mix with endless energy; five cats with larger-than-life names and personalities (Randy Orton, Rowdy Ronda Rousey, Riddle, Rhea Ripley); and two leopard geckos, Groot and Yondu.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll probably find Olivia watching wrestling, making music, or adding to her unique art collection—pieces made entirely from bugs (yes, really!).

✨ Top-notch care… with a pup cup on the side! ✨

At WAG Vet, your furry friend gets more than just expert care—they get a little treat for being awesome 🐾💛. From check-ups to vaccines, we make sure every visit ends with wagging tails and happy hearts (and maybe a little whipped cream 😋).

📸 Don’t forget to snap a pic of your pup enjoying their cup and tag us—we LOVE seeing those smiles!

It’s Veterinary Technician Week — and we’re celebrating the real MVPs of the clinic. 💪🐾
From calming nervous pets to assisting in surgery, monitoring anesthesia, managing treatments, and keeping everything running smoothly — our techs do it all (and usually with a smile, a lint roller, and a pocket full of treats).
At WAG Vet, our tech team brings skill, heart, and major style to every shift. They’re the heartbeat behind every happy, healthy patient — and we couldn’t do what we do without them. 💛
Drop a 🐶 or 🐱 in the comments to show some love for our incredible vet techs!
