Happy St Patrick’s day!!! Check out one of our patients that gets to be Purdue’s Mr Shamrock 2025.

🍀 Introducing Mr. Shamrock 2025 — Remi! 🍀

This handsome Irish Setter is bringing all the St. Patrick’s Day cheer! Remi joined our oncology team after his local veterinarian, Dr. Kim Gruber, removed an incidental melanoma. Since then, he has been a rockstar through his melanoma vaccine series, always greeting us with a wagging tail and a bright smile!

We feel incredibly lucky to have Remi and his amazing spirit in our lives. Drop a ☘️ in the comments to cheer him on!

It’s a hard life in the Gruber household. Bodhi thinks the couch isn’t soft enough so he made a bed of throw pillows

We welcome March 1 today. Don’t forget to protect your pets from heartworms, fleas and ticks. With the warmer days (well not today), the gross bugs will be showing their ugly faces.

Hope everyone survived the holiday weekend! Polly was exhausted having so many people in her house for Thanksgiving. Today is the beginning of December. Be sure to protect your pets from heartworms, fleas and ticks.

Pretty amazing view in the country tonight!

It’s October 1st. While I love the cooler weather, so do the ticks. They will start to reappear. Be sure to protect your furry friends from them, heartworms and fleas!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be out of the office September 9-17.

If your pet needs medical care, here’s a few options: Emergency Veterinary Care Center in Mishawaka at 574-544-6200 or their clinic in Westville at 219-785-7300. If it’s during the weekdays, you could try Night Owls at 574-259-8387. For at home euthanasia option there is Paws at Peace at 574-804-2201.

Don’t you hate it when your brother takes your seat in the car? Bodhi was so exhausted after grooming, he jumped in the truck and immediately laid down. That’s typically Polly’s side. Polly did the only thing possible and decided to sit on him.

One of my dogs loves getting a bath. The other one is only there for the cheese.

Bodhi couldn’t wait for his turn so he jumped in the tub while Polly was getting a bath. Polly thinks the whole situation is dumb.

Soaking up some sunshine on the first day of September. Don’t forget to protect your furry friends from heartworms, fleas and ticks.

It’s August 1st. The dogs are enjoying their time at the lake today. Remember to protect your furry friends from heartworms, fleas, and ticks.

Do you ever have a day when you feel like you have too much hair? Bodhi goes every 6 weeks for a blow out. I am pretty sure we could have built a 20 # dog from all the hair that can out of him. It was like being in a black dog hair snow globe.

07/01/2024

It’s now July 1st. Time to help prevent your pets from getting heartworms, fleas and ticks.

06/14/2024

Just a reminder that I will be out of town June 15 until July 1. If your pet needs medical attention while I am gone, you can contact Emergency Veterinary Care Center in Mishawaka at 574-544-6200 is a 24 hour emergency clinic. They also have a clinic in Westville and their number is 219-785-7300. If it’s during the weekdays, you could try Night Owls at 574-259-8387.

If you need anything before I am gone, you still have a few hours to reach out.

Just a friendly reminder that if your pet has anxiety related to thunderstorms or fireworks, there’s medication we can use to make them less scared. Let me know within the next 10 days if you need something. I will be out of town the week before July 4 so don’t wait until the last minute when I won’t be available to help. I don’t know when people will be celebrating the holiday. I am assuming on the 4th and both weekends before and after. Let’s be pro active about keeping our furry friends safe.

Bodhi and Polly both don’t like loud noises so they get some meds to make them happy. Bodhi’s not drugged up in this photo. In the last few weeks, he has decided that it’s more comfortable to lay on the side table (which he always does) with his head resting upside down on the couch.

With the number of messages and loose ends I am dealing with before leaving, probably best to call or text me if you need some medications. 574-315-0690. Thanks!

Dr Gruber will be out of the office June 15 to 30. Please let us know if you need any food or medications before she is gone. She will be out of the country and therefore not easily accessible. She is heading to England and Scotland.
