Strong emergency response starts with preparation, teamwork, and the confidence to act when every second counts.

On October 21, our team had the pleasure of bringing RECOVER Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) training to our friends at Crosswinds Animal Hospital.

Through RECOVER, veterinary professionals can earn certification in evidence-based CPR techniques and emergency response. Our practice manager, Brittni, and LVT Carlin are RECOVER Certified BLS and ALS Instructors, and we are proud to offer this hands-on training to our referring and partnering practices.

During the course, the Crosswinds team practiced essential resuscitation skills using canine training models for BLS and our canine CPR simulator, for ALS. Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and dedication to putting their knowledge and training into practice made this such a rewarding day for our instructors.

We are grateful to Dr. Braunies for bringing this opportunity to Crosswinds and for the entire team’s commitment to continuing education and emergency preparedness. We love working alongside Crosswinds Animal Hospital and are always happy to support the practices that trust us with their patients.

Congratulations, Crosswinds Animal Hospital, on becoming RECOVER certified! We loved spending the day with your team and look forward to continuing to grow together. 🐾

At Palmetto Veterinary Specialists, we are true partners in the care of your patients, from initial consultation to the surgery table to aftercare.

For best results after surgery, we recommend documenting the incision and confirming that the owner understands how to prevent licking, moisture, contamination, and unsupervised activity. Written instructions should identify concerning changes such as increasing redness, swelling, discharge, odor, heat, or separation of the incision edges. If you have questions about preparing your patients and their owners, we are always available to help.

Something spooky is haunting your clinic…

Don’t worry. It’s just the PVS surgical team. 👻

They arrive with their surgical gear, perform the procedure, and disappear before you know it. TPLOs, fracture repairs, mass removals, and so much more… just your average day for our favorite ghosts.

We may be in and out of your clinic, but we’re always here when you or your patients need us, from phone consults and surgical advice to performing specialized procedures right at your practice.

Happy Halloween from the PVS crew! 🎃

Probiotic supplements can help protect your patients' gut health during antibiotic therapy. Proper strain selection and administration timing make all the difference. Check it out!

Veterinary professionals are often asked if probiotics should be administered during antibiotic therapy and whether they truly improve patient outcomes. It is important to understand the relationship between antibiotics, microbiomes, and probiotic supplementation.

Please help us celebrate Brittni’s four-year anniversary with PVS.

Brittni is a true triple threat who keeps our team organized through appointment scheduling, inventory management, and all the many hats she wears as our practice manager.
With over 22 years of experience as a licensed veterinary technician, she brings an incredible depth of knowledge and skill. You might even see her on the floor, where she excels in patient care and anesthesia, or teaching BLS and ALS courses at veterinary clinics.
We’re so thankful for Brittni and everything she does to help keep PVS running smoothly. Congratulations on four years, Brittni! 🐾💚

And just like that, Tech Week is a wrap! 🐾

We’ve had so much fun celebrating our incredible team of veterinary technicians this week. From the day-to-day work that keeps our surgeries running smoothly to the skill, dedication, and care they bring to every patient, our techs do so much for PVS and for the hospitals and teams we work alongside.

A few thoughtful gifts, a lot of laughs, and plenty of pun-filled surprises made this week extra special. It was such a joy to celebrate the people who make our team what it is.

And to all the veterinary technicians out there, especially those we have the privilege of working alongside, we hope you had a wonderful Tech Week, too!

We’re so grateful for our PVS technicians and all that they bring to our team. 💙
