👻 PATIENT UPDATE: We’ve got a spooky situation in X-ray! 🩺

Our Vet Assistant Fiona was trying to run some routine checks today, but instead of a dog, she seems to have captured… a tiny... ghost?

Turns out this patient is suffering from a severe case of being "Too Cute to Spook." Diagnosed with a bad case of the mummy-itis! 🦴

(No worries, Fiona is an expert in supernatural cuddle-therapy. 💙)

Happy Vet Tech Week to all of our rockstar techs and assistants! ⭐️
They bring so much heart, skill, and patience to everything they do.
From our small animal crew to our equine team these ladies are always working hard and putting patient care at the front of everything they do.
We love you guys!! ❤️

National Vet Tech Week takes place every October to celebrate these hardworking superheroes of animal hospitals and clinics.

🩺What does a Vet Tech do?
Think of a vet tech as an animal nurse, lab scientist, dental hygienist, and X-ray technician all rolled into one person.
While the veterinarian (the doctor) diagnoses diseases and performs surgeries, veterinary technicians handle things like blood draws, running medical equipment, monitoring anesthesia, and restraining and caring for patients to keep them healthy and safe.

🫶Why do we celebrate them?
Being a vet tech is one of the hardest jobs in animal healthcare. It requires years of training, passing a national board exam to become a licensed tech, and tons of hard work. Techs often deal with long hours, heavy lifting, messy situations, and stressed pets, yet they show up every day with patience and love for their patients. ❤️

🚨🐾 BREAKING NEWS: AVS HAS A NEW RECEPTIONIST! 🚨🐾

We’ve been a bit short-handed, so we decided to promote from within... and we think we found the perfect fit! 🏆

Current Duties:
-Trying to figure out why the "treat" button isn't on the keyboard. ⌨️
-Intently staring at the schedule to find any appointments with "free cuddles." 🐶
-Managing the front desk with absolute, 100% focused ear and nose power. 👂

We may have to work on her "do not eat the paperwork" policy, but honestly, with customer service this cute, who can complain?

We’re not 100% sure if this sweet kitty was trying to show off some Olympic-level gymnastics, doing a pre-checkup stretch, or just hoping that if they keep their legs in the air, the exam will go faster! 😂

Either way, Dr. Bares and LVT Paij were absolutely loving the enthusiasm!

🐾 The official patient diagnostic report:
Flexibility: 🥇 10/10. An absolute professional.
Cooperation: ⭐️ 5 stars. High-fives all around (literally).

No matter the pose, we’re always here to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and... highly expressive during their visits! 🧘‍♀️💙

Happy Boss’s Day to the ultimate power couple at Associated Veterinary Services, Wendy and Dr. Newman! 🐴✨

Honestly, "the man (+woman), the myth, the legend" doesn't even begin to cover it. Between Dr. Newman’s unwavering patient care and Wendy keeping the entire clinic running without missing a beat, we truly don’t know how they do it all. They are the backbone of AVS, and we all look up to them more than they know 🫶

Wendy and Dr. Newman, thank you for leading us with so much heart, dedication, and patience (especially when things get chaotic around here!). We are so lucky to work for and alongside you both every day ❤️

Our Equine Tech, Julia, made a new friend on a recent outcall, and we’re all a little obsessed. I mean... look at those incredible ears!

We’re pretty sure he can pick up satellite radio and hear a treat bag opening three counties over. 📡👂❤️

There’s nothing quite like the sweetness of a donkey hug to brighten up the workday!
To all our fellow long-ear lovers: share the donkey love! Drop a photo of your resident donkeys and mules in the comments below—we’d love to see your long-eared crew! 👇

Last night some of the AVS team had a great night doing an escape room in the arena at the stable! We had 2 groups and we had to find the deed of the miners gold! So fun and great team work!! Thank you Marie & Shane & Adison Powell👏👏 We would highly recommend them! They have 3 portable escape rooms, so they come to you🫶🫶

🥺 DID YOU KNOW? "Puppy Dog Eyes" Were Invented Just for Humans! 🐶❤️

Scientists discovered that domestic dogs evolved a specific eyebrow muscle (levator anguli oculi medialis) that wild wolves don't have!

This tiny muscle allows dogs to raise their inner eyebrows, making their eyes look bigger, sadder, and strikingly human-like. It triggers a nurturing response in our brains to melt your heart and get extra treats! 🍖

💡 Vet Tip of the Day: As much as those puppy eyes beg for table scraps, keeping your dog at a healthy weight is one of the best ways to protect their joints and heart health!

🐾 Did You Know? Cat Facts! 🐈✨

1️⃣ Cats have a unique "nose print" — just like human fingerprints, no two cat nose prints are identical! 👃
2️⃣ Whiskers are precision radar systems — they aren't just facial hair; they're deeply rooted tactile organs that help cats judge distances and detect subtle air currents! 📡
3️⃣ Purring isn't ONLY for happiness — cats also purr at frequencies that promote bone and tissue healing when they feel stressed, hurt, or self-soothing! 🩺

💡 Bonus Tip: Because cats are experts at self-soothing and keeping quiet when they aren't feeling well, routine wellness exams are key to catching hidden health changes early.
