We’re always investing in tools that make care safer and smarter—for your pets and our team. Our new Vet-Tome is a game changer for dental extractions. It gently separates the tooth from the ligament with precision, meaning less trauma, less bleeding, and faster recovery.

This is part of how we keep pushing the standard of care forward behind the scenes, one small decision at a time!

Cutie pie Toulouse is here to report:
Puppy visits with Dr. Wheeler go way beyond vaccines.

She takes time to talk through:
– nutrition
– behavior and training tips
– parasite prevention
– and planning for recommended procedures like spay/neuter or breed specific treatments

It’s all about setting our pet parents up to raise a healthy, happy pup from the very start 💞

Happy birthday to Khalilah! She’s only been with us a few months, but it already feels like she’s been part of the krewe forever. Our clients love her, our team counts on her, and every pet that walks through the door gets a little extra love thanks to her warm welcomes. We’re so excited to celebrate her this week!

“Dr. Wheeler always gives you ample time to express concerns and truly listens to you. All staff take the time to get to know your pet. I feel my babies are very well taken care of by the entire team. The facility is always clean and smells fresh. Communication is excellent. I am always kept up to date on test results and other needs via text or phone call. Very caring team!” —Tammy

It’s Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week, and we’re spotlighting the incredible people who bring order to our chaos, warmth to our front desk, and heart to every client interaction.

Lyi sets the tone with calm, consistency, and care. She knows how to keep the day moving and leads by example—with clear communication, kindness, and a deep understanding of what our clients need.

Brooke is thorough, thoughtful, and always steady. She’s the kind of person who notices the details others might miss and makes sure clients feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Khalilah is a natural at making everyone—especially the pets—feel welcome. She brings warmth to every greeting and has a way of making even the busiest moments feel personal.

We’re so grateful for everything they do, every single day. RRVH wouldn’t be the same without them!! Happy Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week!

The team had our annual egg hunt and found lots of goodies from the easter bunny! 🐰 We were treated to delicious lunch from 🍕 and had a blast competing and collaborating with each other to find all the prize eggs 🐣 We are open with normal hours today (Good Friday), closing early Saturday (3pm) and open with normal hours on Monday. Wishing you and the fur fam a hoppy holiday weekend! 💕

Did you know: Only about half of pet cats get routine vet visits—compared to about 75% of dogs. We think our feline friends deserve better than that!

Cats are masters of disguise when it comes to illness, so if you wait until symptoms are showing, chances are the issue has already progressed.

That’s why annual checkups, labwork, and a thorough exam matter so much. We can catch things early, keep them feeling great, and help them live longer, healthier lives.

Even indoor cats need vaccines, parasite prevention, and routine care—yep, even the garfields who never leave the couch.

Show your kitty some love—book their annual visit with us today!!

We know how important nail trims are for both you and your pet—that’s why we include complimentary paw-dicures with every exam and procedure.
🐾
And we don’t just clip—we dremel at no extra charge. Smoothing and filing the nails helps get a closer trim, prevents cracking, and keeps them from being too sharp. It’s the best way to keep your pet comfortable and protect your floors (and your skin!)
🐾
We take the extra time to dremel nails because even the small details matter. It’s all part of our commitment to gold-standard care and providing exceptional value in every visit!

🚨 Attention Pet Owners! 🚨

The microchip company Save This Life has shut down, and their database is no longer accessible. If your pet’s microchip starts with 991 or 900164, you’ll need to re-register it ASAP to ensure they can still be identified if lost!

🐾 Good news: You’re not out of options!
✔️ PetLink (the company we use) is offering a $4.99 registration deal with code STL499
✔️ FreePetChipRegistry.com allows free registration

💡 No worries if your pet was microchipped at RRVH! We’ve never used Save This Life, so your pet’s info is secure.
