What do you do in your meetings at work?

Last week, at our Tuesday staff meeting, our topic of discussion was urgent appointments. Becky, our vet assistant of over 20 years, ran the meeting to guide us through different scenarios, what role each of us could play, and how we can help in the most efficient, fear-free way.

Having to come in for an urgent appointment is understandably stressful. We know that you are anxious for your pet's well-being, and we want to be your support every step of the way. We each took turns acting as the receptionist, vet assistant, vet tech, vet, and owner for each scenario. Seeing new perspectives is critical in knowing how things should be handled. What we say, our body language, and our actions are all things that can affect you and your pet's tension, mood, and trust. All 3 of these are vital in creating a successful appointment. So, with our stuffed dogs in hand, we learned the most effective and helpful ways to communicate with you and your pet in urgent appointments.

Do you file your pet's nails?

We have 2 methods of keeping nails trimmed and tidy here: just clipping, or clipping with a Dremel file. The Dremel is a high-speed rotating tool used to round off the edges of nails and claws, making them less pointy.

It is also beneficial in slowly pushing back the quick, the part of the nail that bleeds if you cut it back too far. The quick can grow longer if the pet's nails don't get trimmed regularly, making it so they cannot be cut back as short as usual. Using a Dremel gradually and painlessly shortens the quick over several sessions, leading to shorter nails and no clicking as they walk across the floor!

If you could choose an animal to represent your pet, what would it be? 🤔

Look at Ranger's Dino charm! 🦖 He is a 4-year-old Mini Dachshund who's as sweet as can be. We can't say for sure if he turns into a ferocious little guy at home, but he sure won us over here!

It's not just cats that love basking in the sunlight!

This angelic little girl is JoJo, and she loved lying in her bed and feeling the sun on her fur during her boarding stay. Well, she loved doing this when she wasn't cuddled in someone's arms getting face rubs.

Share a picture of your pet enjoying some sun in the comments to join JoJo!

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day! 🖤

This handsome fellow is Dan, and he's a 5-month-old certified cutie! As young cats are, he was bouncy and excited about everything at his latest appointment. But it definitely worked to his advantage; energetic kitties are an easy staff favorite.

If you have a black cat, share their picture in the comments so we can all appreciate them!
