Hey everyone! We are still trying to help Zane with his mission trip—he still needs to raise $1,000 to be able to go. Please share this post if you don’t mind, to spread the word!

Zane, our Downtown surgery lead, could use our help! Please see the flyer for more information on how to support his journey!

Last week was all about our exceptional CRS team during Veterinary Reception Appreciation Week! Each of these compassionate people are the first voice that you hear when you call our offices, the first faces you see when you meet our team, the first to give your pets all the lovings with a CVH name tag, the ones to hold your hands during the tough appointments, the ones to celebrate with you during the good ones, the ones who triage every call, the ones who bear it all. Our practice relies heavily on our CRS team, at all of our locations. Veterinary medicine is a team-effort field and Veterinary Receptionists are the backbone of that team everywhere. We feel fortunate to have such a wonderful group of people who consistently go the extra mile for every pet that walks through our doors. Being a CRS can sometimes be a thankless job, but we want them to know how valued they are. To our incredible Customer Relations Specialists, thank you for everything you do for our beloved pets!

Talk about a win! These happy tears come from a long history of this kitty not wanting to be held by anyone. Sarah, rescued this kitty along with her three brothers a few months ago. It has been a long road with more patience and love to go, but this is a huge step in the right direction❤️❤️
