This is Calvin. We have been seeing him since he was just a little, tiny lobster. Now he's a grown-up who loves to come visit. Calvin asked us to remind you put your pets in a safe place during trick-or-treat times so no one inadvertently sneaks out the door and to keep those treats in a safe spot your pet can't reach!

Happy Howlween! 🎃👻

Luna Sue came for her very first visit with us and she's already ready to celebrate Tongue Out Tuesday. Although Luna Sue is a shy girl, she was willing to discuss her care with Dr. Paukette in exchange for a snack or two. Welcome to the RRC family, Luna Sue!

Can we brag about Benson for a minute? First, his ears, obviously. Second, before we became best friends, Benson required sedation at a previous veterinarian to accomplish his care. He came here and graduated from cooperative care like the A+ student you know he is. In fact, he got so good at working with us to voluntarily allow his care, he was able to have blood drawn twice in the same day while his mom fed him snacks on our couch. We are so proud of you, Benson!

Walter, good boy, Walter. Walter Eugene was referred to us by his hometown veterinarian who realized Walter may need a little extra time to address some behaviors his family was seeing at home and at the vet. He came to us for some cooperative care visits, we made some medication adjustments, and his family has enjoyed watching him figure out life and settle in at home a little more. But Walter really impressed us all when he came in this week for some annual vaccines and decided it would be just fine with him if we did a blood draw, too. And then, to top it all off, we found out he is also probably a professional model. Thank you to Walter's family and his referring veterinarian for trusting us to help this floofy boy!

As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to an end, we want to celebrate our LVT's, Rachael and Michelle. Many of you know and love Rachael for her continued creative approaches to making sure your pet feels safe and respected during their care with us. We love her for that, too! And, while you may not see her as often, Michelle is our amazing surgical LVT who makes sure your pet receives the absolute best, most thorough care during any surgical procedures and we are so grateful for her skilled, kind approach to veterinary medicine. Thank you for all you do, Rachael and Michelle!

Friends, meet Polly. Polly, meet our friends. Polly is new to the Reactive Referral Center. She came with her mom for her first visit and so far she gives Dr. Paukette and Rachael 4.5 stars. She's reserving the last half star for her next visit ... she wants to make sure they don't try and give her less treats just because she fell in love the first time. We, however, give Polly 5 stars. We were so glad to meet you, Polly, and we look forward to teaching you that you can trust us! Here's to more whipped cream in your future!

ChaCha and Chompers came in for some wellness care and, although they live in the same house, they have different opinions on the best treat at the vet. ChaCha is Team Reddi-wip and Chompers is solidly Team Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Which team is your pet joining?

Also, ChaCha ... you have a little something on your nose. We know, you were saving it for later.
