We can’t wait to see you this Saturday! Santa is anxiously waiting to see which pets have been good this year. Don’t forget your Food Bank donations so we can help out those in need of a little extra help this year

This holiday season we have chosen to contribute to our local food bank and Santa himself will be making a special visit to the hospital for photos with him and your pets! You will receive a digital image to share with friends and family in return for a small food donation. Photos will be taken on a first come basis and there is no appointment time needed.

We will have parking available in the back parking lot should you need to register upon arrival and then wait in the car before the big meet and greet with Dr Jim (cough - we mean Santa!) himself!

Our 1st Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest was a big hit and we will definitely be continuing this on in future years. For this year though the votes have been counted and checked twice, but with a landslide victory ‘Audrey II’ took 1st Place with an overwhelming majority vote between both Fetch The Vet Mobile Veterinary Practice and East Aurora Veterinary Hospital in person and online voting.

Our Veterinary Technician Leigh was the creator, and as she loves to craft she was thrilled to win. She also loves plants and has quite the collection at home. It was therefore only fitting that her prize be another house plant to add to her collection. Hopefully this one is a little more docile than ‘Audrey II’ though!

🚧🚧🚧 IF COMING TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY AND THE COMING WEEK PLEASE AVOID MAIN ST DUE TO RE-SURFACING 🚧🚧🚧

Our suggestion is to park on Paine Ave (accessed via Oakwood) and walk through the Police Station Lot. You can also access our back parking lot for parking in the same manner.

Please plan to give yourself an extra 10-15 mins for arrival time in case it takes longer to park. Thank you and we are looking forward to a lovely new flat road and will get past these short term literal bumps in the road!

So last week wasn’t just about showing gratitude to our Veterinary Technicians, it was about showing appreciation to our team as a whole. This is because without every single individual, our practices simply wouldn’t function.

We are one team - each with their individual role, but not one more important than another. A Dr is of no use if appointments are not scheduled or information communicated effectively to clients, a technician cannot remain safe during a blood draw without an effective assistant restraining the patient, nor a receptionist able to answer the question of a client or triage a call without the guidance of a Dr or Veterinary Technician. There is no ‘Front’ and ‘Back’ team - we work as one.

This isn’t easy work - and it was never meant to be. It’s messy. It’s emotional. It asks you to stay calm in emergencies, kind in heartbreak, and strong when there’s nothing left in the tank.

And yet, you continue to show up - with hands ready to help, and hearts ready to care. This work is heavy. But it matters. And you are the reason it matters so much.

To our entire staff: thank you. For your grit, your compassion, and your unwavering commitment to every life that walks through our doors.

Featured are our incredible Veterinary Assistants Kali (top left), Paula (bottom right) and pictured front and centre are Amanda (left) and our newest but amazingly awesome receptionist Kerry (right). Although not pictured here, everyone also knows Kaite (receptionist) who is usually the first smile you see when you enter the door of the hospital.

And last but by no means least - we have Kelli! Kelli celebrated her 5th year with us this Spring and she is our acting Practice Manager for both Fetch The Vet Mobile Veterinary Practice and East Aurora Veterinary Hospital. Like many of our LVT’s that bring you significant professional experience she too carries over 20 years of clinical experience and it shows in her confidence, ability to multi-task, make quick paced decisions and adjust ‘on the fly’ to conditions that can sometimes be challenging in a mobile setting where she spends her clinic time.

Kelli is an all rounder - enjoying many aspects of veterinary medicine and also a wide range of species. She is never one to shy away from a more unusual request for a home visit whether that be to trim pigs feet or jump into major abdominal surgery on a 130lb Mastiff with her surgical companion Dr Holly.

Every single one of our clients and patients are lucky to have Kelli taking care of their needs!

Today Leigh is getting a shout out! She has been a part of our team since before the very first appointments were scheduled, and assisted Dr Jenni during the months of planning prior to the first mobile unit of Fetch The Vet Mobile Veterinary Practice hitting the road almost 7 years ago. If there’s anyone that knows the in’s and out’s of both practices it’s Leigh.

She too has over 20 years of clinical experience and has many strengths across her professional life ranging from surgical case management to her increasing comfort with handling exotics (she’s come a long way!). Her responsibilities this year were increased when she began managing inventory for both our practices and she is doing a wonderful job steadily finding her own rhythm and accommodating for the different needs of both our mobile practice and East Aurora Veterinary Hospital

Leigh is a true professional and respects her colleagues, the clients time and wishes for their patients care and is one of the most savvy with finding time on the schedule to squeeze additional appointments in for our patients on what looks to be an already full schedule.

Doug is our most recent Licensed Veterinary Technician to join our team at East Aurora Veterinary Hospital. Given that he joined us just last month he is really finding his footing quickly.

He has been an LVT for 6 years and was working locally at another hospital in the city of Buffalo. He brings with him significant experience in exotic care of the scaly and hard shelled types alongside our usual furry friends. We look forward to him bringing his knowledge and experience in this area to our practice as our team of professionals within the hospital with interest in this area of veterinary care grows.

We are so glad that Doug chose to join our practice as we are confident that he will add further skill sets to those we already have within our technician team.
