Congratulations to veterinary technicians Kimberly McKenzie and Mary Ross on 30 incredible years of service at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center!

Kim and Mary began their journeys with OSU just four weeks apart, and for the past three decades, they’ve been pillars of the Small Animal Surgery Service. Their dedication, compassion, and expertise have played a vital role in the success of the service and have positively impacted countless patients, students, interns, residents, and clinicians along the way.

We’re grateful for everything you’ve contributed over the years — thank you both for your unwavering commitment and exceptional care! ❤️🐾

Have you ever seen such a smiley boy at the vet?

Meet Moose 🐾 — a sweet pup with a tough past and a heart full of love.

Adopted from a shelter, Moose has struggled with anxiety and shyness, especially during vet visits. But at the Frank Stanton Veterinary Spectrum of Care Clinic, he’s found a place where he feels safe, relaxed and understood.

Thanks to our dedicated team of students and staff — and our commitment to providing a full spectrum of care — Moose gets the gentle, personalized approach he needs. Judging by that smile, we think he approves. 👏
