Happy Howl-O-Ween from all of us at SCVC!
Whether your pets are dressed up for the occasion, helping hand out candy, or perfectly content spending the evening curled up on the couch, we hope you and your family have a wonderful Halloween!

As you enjoy the festivities, remember to keep the candy out of reach of curious paws and give your pets a quiet place to relax if all the excitement becomes a little overwhelming.

🧡 And don't forget: Tonight is your last chance to vote for your favorite contestant in our 2026 Spooky Paws Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest! Voting closes at midnight, and we'll announce our winners on November 2nd!

From our SCVC family to yours, we wish you a safe, fun, and treat-filled Halloween!

Our team got a little creative during Veterinary Technician Week, and now we need YOUR help picking a winner!

We put their creativity to the test with a fun challenge! Each team member drew a random animal from a bucket and had to transform an ordinary pumpkin into a masterpiece inspired by their animal! 🐸🐮🐱🐢
And goodness, did they deliver! From adorable to downright hilarious, our team certainly didn't disappoint!

🗳️ NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE THE JUDGE!
Take a look at our team's creations and VOTE for your favorite by commenting its number below! 👇

Holiday Treats, Hidden Dangers!
From Halloween candy bowls to Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas goodies, and New Year's celebrations, the holiday season is FULL of delicious temptations! While we're enjoying our favorite festive foods, we're also here to help you know which of those same treats can pose serious risks to our four-legged family members.

At SCVC, we want your pets to enjoy every celebration safely!
Take a peek to learn which holiday favorites can cause everything from tummy troubles to life-threatening emergencies.

Remember: Just because it's safe for our plates doesn't mean it's safe for their paws! Keep holiday goodies out of reach, remind visiting family members not to share table scraps, and have plenty of pet-friendly treats on hand.

🚨 If your pet gets into something they shouldn't, don't wait for symptoms! Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away.

As we celebrate National Veterinary Technician Week, we want to shine a little extra light on our incredible team who help make SCVC what it is today.

We are beyond blessed to have FOUR Licensed Veterinary Technicians and several advanced assistants who lead our patient care each and every day. Their knowledge, compassion, dedication, and commitment to our patients are invaluable, and we're so thankful for the hearts they bring to veterinary medicine. ❤️
This week, we've made it a priority to give a little love back to the people who give so much of themselves to others. Between the treats, celebrations, and some pretty hilarious team challenges, we've shared plenty of laughter!

These candid moments capture a little of that joy, including our "PPE Dexterity" challenge, where our technicians had to retrieve spilled pills while wearing oversized gloves designed for handling a particularly "fractious feline." 🐱😂 Let's just say, dexterity was questionable, but the entertainment was top-notch!
**No patients were harmed in this game!

Veterinary medicine comes with long days, difficult cases, emotional moments, and challenges that aren't always seen by the families we serve. It's little moments like these, filled with laughter, friendship, and a team that genuinely enjoys one another that help keep us fueled to continue doing what we love, not to mention our clients and patients that make it all worth it.

To our wonderful technicians: We see the hard work, the compassion, and the countless ways you advocate for our patients every single day. We hope this week has reminded you just how appreciated and loved you are!

What REALLY happens when your pet goes to "the back" at SCVC?

We know it can be a little mysterious when your furry family member disappears through those doors with one of our team members. But we'll let you in on a little secret...

More often than not, there's a whole lot of snuggling, baby talk, admiration, and extra love happening behind the scenes and these precious, pocket-sized kittens were no exception. They had quite the fan club during their visit, as you can see, our team wasn't about to let all that cuteness go unappreciated!

Of course, there's plenty of important veterinary care happening back there, too, but we believe a little extra love is just as important as the medicine.
These tiny little faces are on their way to healthy, happy, BIG lives, and we're so thankful we get to be a small part of their journey!

Here's to wishing these little paws big futures and a whole lot of love from our SCVC family!

Behind every healthy pet, every successful surgery, every comforting hug, and every wagging tail is a team of extraordinary people who pour their hearts into what they do. 🩺❤️

This week, we're celebrating the incredible veterinary technicians and support staff who make the magic happen behind the scenes at SCVC.

Our technicians are the ones monitoring anesthesia, running diagnostics, assisting in surgery, administering treatments, comforting nervous patients, and sometimes sitting on the floor just a little longer to help a scared pet feel safe. 🐶🐱

But their work goes far beyond the medical side of veterinary medicine.
They're the gentle hands holding a paw during a difficult moment. The reassuring voices helping families through uncertainty. The advocates for patients who cannot speak for themselves. And the teammates who show up, day after day, ready to give their very best, even on the hardest days.

Veterinary medicine isn't puppy kisses and kitten cuddles. It's long days, messy scrubs, emotional moments, endless learning, and a whole lot of heart. And we wouldn't be the clinic we are without these amazing individuals.

To our SCVC technicians and support team: We see your dedication, your compassion, your knowledge, and the countless little things you do that often go unnoticed. You are the heartbeat of our hospital, and we are so incredibly grateful for each of you!

🎉 We'll be spending this week celebrating our team with some well-deserved appreciation, laughter, treats, and a little friendly competition!

🐾 HELP US CELEBRATE! Have one of our amazing team members made a difference in your pet's life? Drop a little love, a favorite memory, or a simple THANK YOU in the comments! We'd love for them to hear just how much they mean to our SCVC families. ❤️

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! October 18–24, 2026!
