It’s National Veterinary Technician Week! 🩺

At Westside Veterinary Hospital, it takes an incredible TEAM to care for our patients and their families. From our receptionists who keep everything running smoothly, coordinate appointments, answer countless questions, and welcome every client with compassion, to our veterinary technicians and assistants who provide hands-on patient care, monitor anesthesia, assist with procedures, and comfort our patients when they need us most…every role matters.

We are so proud of how well-rounded, dedicated, and compassionate our team is. Every single person brings something special to WVH, and together, we make a difference every day. 🐾

To our entire staff: Thank you for the heart, hard work, and pride you put into what you do. You are what makes Westside Veterinary Hospital special, and we are so grateful for each of you! 💫

Help us celebrate our amazing team! 🐶🐱 To our wonderful clients and community, take a moment this week to thank a veterinary team member. A kind word, a comment, or a simple message of appreciation means more than you know. Our team works hard every day to care for your beloved pets, and we would love for them to feel just how much they are valued.

We are so proud of our WVH family! 🫶🏻🐾

Today’s second post is dedicated to Morgan! 🎉

Morgan also recently celebrated her FIVE year anniversary at WVH! 🥳

You all know Morgan as one of our shining faces at the front desk, but being a veterinary receptionist is so much more than answering phones and checking people in. Our reception team is often the very first point of contact for our clients, and they somehow manage to juggle a million things at once while making each person feel heard and cared for.

Morgan keeps the front desk moving through busy phone lines, appointments, prescription requests, payments, scheduling, client questions, records, messages, and everything in between. She communicates constantly with our doctors and medical team, helps coordinate patient care, and navigates the unexpected curveballs that come with working in a veterinary hospital. And perhaps most importantly, she does all of this while interacting with people who may be worried, stressed, scared, or emotional about their beloved pets.

Morgan brings incredible patience and kindness to WVH. She has a way of instantly calming anyone who walks through our doors or calls us on the phone. She makes people feel welcome, cared for, and confident that their pets are in good hands.

And let me tell you, Morgan’s jokes have us all rolling on the floor! She has such a fun sense of humor and brings a lightness to our days that we absolutely love.

Morgan is truly such a bright light at WVH, and we are so fortunate to have had her as part of our team for the past five years. ❤️

Please help us celebrate Morgan and this incredible milestone! ✨

We love to celebrate milestone anniversaries at WVH, and today we have TWO! 🎉🎉

Up first: Stephanie! 🥳

Earlier this year, Stephanie celebrated FIVE years with WVH! Stephanie is one of our incredibly talented Registered Veterinary Technicians, and let me tell you, her presence is invaluable at WVH.

Stephanie brings an incredible depth of knowledge and skill to her role as an RVT. She is the kind of technician who can easily move from monitoring anesthesia and assisting with surgery to caring for hospitalized patients, running laboratory tests, placing catheters, assisting with dentistry, taking radiographs, and so much more. She has the knowledge to recognize when something isn’t quite right, the experience to know what needs to happen next, and the confidence to jump in wherever she is needed. Whether she’s caring for a critical patient, supporting a doctor, helping a nervous pet feel safe, or lending a hand to a teammate, Stephanie brings competence, confidence, and genuine compassion to everything she does.

Aside from her skills as an RVT, Stephanie is quick on her feet, dedicated to remaining calm while also navigating the fast-paced environment of a veterinary hospital. She’s compassionate, pays attention to detail, and treats each patient with dignity and respect.

Please help us celebrate Stephanie today. We are so grateful she is a part of the WVH team! 🫶🏻

Celebrating 8 Years of Westside Veterinary Hospital!

Today, we are celebrating 8 incredible years of caring for the pets and people of our community, and we couldn’t let the occasion pass without saying one very important thing:

Thank you.

To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your beloved family members. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or have joined our WVH family more recently, your confidence in us is something we never take for granted. It is a privilege to care for your pets through every stage of life, and we are honored to share in the joy, love, and memories they bring to your families.

To our patients, thank you for the tail wags, wet noses, happy purrs, and unconditional love. You are the reason we do what we do every day.

This past year has been especially exciting as we completed a major renovation and expansion of our hospital. This growth has allowed us to improve our facility, enhance the care we provide, and create more space to serve the pets and families who count on us. We are grateful for your patience and support throughout that process and excited about what it means for the future of WVH.

Most importantly, we want to recognize our incredible team. Their compassion, dedication, hard work, and genuine love for animals are the foundation of everything we do. They celebrate the victories, comfort families through difficult moments, and show up each day committed to providing exceptional care. Westside Veterinary Hospital would not be what it is without them.

We at WVH are proud to be deeply rooted in this community. The relationships we’ve built over the last eight years are what make this journey so meaningful, and we are humbled by the support you’ve shown us.

Thank you for allowing us to do what we love every day. Here’s to eight wonderful years and many more to come. ✨

🌀 Hurricane Season is here 🌀

✅ Have at least 7–14 days of food, medications, and any prescription diets on hand.
✅ Keep vaccination records and medical information easily accessible.
✅ Prepare a pet emergency kit with food, water, medications, bowls, leash, carrier, waste bags, and comfort items.
