✨Pretty & Problematic✨
🎄 Festive Plants on the Naughty List 🐾
They’re cute, cozy, and totally holiday-vibes… but some Christmas plants can be trouble for pets 👀

🚫 Holiday plants to keep away from curious noses:
🌺 Poinsettias – Mouth & tummy irritation
💋 Mistletoe – Vomiting, drooling, lethargy
🔴 Holly – GI upset from leaves & berries
🌸 Lilies – 🚨 EXTREMELY toxic to cats (even pollen!)
🌱 Amaryllis – Vomiting, tremors, belly pain

🐶🐱 How to keep the holidays merry (not messy):
✔️ Place plants well out of reach
✔️ Clean up fallen leaves & petals
✔️ Choose pet-safe or artificial décor
✔️ Call your vet ASAP if ingestion is suspected

✨ When in doubt, assume it’s not snack-approved.
The best decoration this season? A safe, healthy pet. ❤️🎄

✨ L E A R N I N G — and sharing knowledge! ✨

Last week, our team headed tAmerican Association of Equine Practitionerstion AAEVT-American Association of Equine Veterinary Technicians and AssistantsVeterinary Technicians and Assistants Conference, and we couldn’t be prouder of the roles they played.

🐴 Dr. Lia McCoy presented a lecture on equine first aid and instructed hands-on wet labs covering bandaging techniques and ultrasound. She also joined Trinette, LVT on a joint panel discussion focused on technician utilization and retention—a vital conversation for the future of veterinary medicine.

🌟 Trinette, LVT currently serves as an Executive Board Member of the AAEVT and will soon step into her role as the incoming Regional Director for the association.

📚 Practice Manager Dee, Shannon, LVT, and Dr. Aimee Thompson were also in attendance, soaking up as much education as possible to bring back to Elko—so we can continue raising the standard of care for our patients.

We’re proud to invest in continuing education, leadership, and collaboration—because our patients deserve the very best. 💙
