August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month!

Is your pet constantly scratching, licking, or biting at their skin? It might be more than just a little itch.

We have a veterinary dermatologist who visits weekly to help pets with skin issues, allergies, and chronic itching. If your pet is uncomfortable and nothing seems to be working, it might be time to see a specialist.

Ask your regular vet about sending us a referral. Relief could be closer than you think!
You can call 501-224-3784 and ask for Maddox, the coordinator, for more information.

Meet Ruben, our tiniest new team member. Today was his first time scrubbing in for surgery!

He showed up in uniform, full of enthusiasm, and gave us his best “I’m not nervous, you’re nervous” face.
The cutest surgical assistant you’ve ever met!

📋Regular Vet Roll Call!
Let’s show some love to the amazing vets who keep our pets healthy and happy!

💬 @ your regular vet clinic in the comments, not just to shout them out, but to help someone who may not have a regular vet yet. You never know who might be looking for a trusted place for their pet.

Whether it’s for checkups, urgent care, or just that familiar face who knows your pet by name, our vets deserve all the love.

We appreciate and NEED our local regular vet clinics!

🐶 It's Puppy Time! 🐶

Welp… It’s time to whelp some puppies! 🐾

At AVES, we only perform C-sections on an emergency basis.
When we do, it’s ALL HANDS ON DECK. 💪

While our doctor carefully delivers the puppies, our amazing team is standing by with towels and whelping kits, ready to jump in. Every pup is immediately stimulated and supported as they take their very first breaths. 💖

It's intense, it's incredible, and it’s one of the many rewarding parts of what we do.

💖 Meet Miss Sasha 💖

This sweet girl recently went through something no pet (or human) ever should: she was involved in a house fire. 💔

Sasha was brought to our ER and Critical Care team for treatment of possible smoke inhalation. Thanks to her strength and the quick care she received, she spent two nights with us and made an incredible recovery. We're so happy to share that she was well enough to head home with her loving humans. 🐾

Sending extra snuggles to brave Sasha and her family as they continue healing together. 💕
