Happy National Mutt Day! 🎉 We're raising a paw to all the one-of-a-kind mixed-breed dogs that bring so much joy to our lives!

These incredible dogs often have fewer genetic disorders and wonderful temperaments, but they are also the most common residents in local shelters.

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday today, we encourage everyone to give back to the organizations that care for these deserving pups:

Volunteer or Donate: Support local organizations like The Toledo Humane Society. Your time or a financial gift makes a huge difference.

Give Comfort: Collecting unopened food, blankets, and gently used towels. Drop off your donation to your favorite shelter this week!

Check-Up Time: A happy mutt is a healthy mutt! Today is a great reminder to schedule your mutt's annual wellness exam to ensure they stay in top shape. Call your regular vet to book.

Most importantly, share your favorite mutt photo in the comments below! 👇

🦃Today we open at 5pm and we don't close again until 8am Friday morning! As always, we recommend calling ahead to make sure the doctor isn't in surgery, and to check the wait time. We do our best to triage as things come in, and we appreciate your patience as we get to everyone.

Celebrating Veterinary Practice Manager Week! This week, we are celebrating the backbone of our clinic: our amazing Practice Manager, Izzy!

While Izzy officially stepped into the manager role less than a year ago, she is truly part of the fabric of our hospital, having been with us several years prior as an assistant. This experience is why she is such a phenomenal leader!

Here are just a few reasons why we love having Izzy at the helm:

She Champions the Team: Izzy is incredibly supportive, making sure every single staff member feels valued, heard, and appreciated. She listens to our concerns and takes decisive action to keep our practice moving smoothly.

A Focus on Wellness: Izzy understands that healthy staff provides the best care! She actively ensures our team prioritizes their own health and family, promoting a vital work/life balance that makes us all better at our jobs.

Commitment to Excellence: She never stops learning, always seeking out the best ways to operate so that your beloved pets are consistently receiving the highest standard of care.

Exemplifies Teamwork: Izzy is never afraid to pick up shifts in the hospital, or even just help out during her office hours. She is never too busy to lend a hand.

Thank you, Izzy, for your leadership, care, and dedication to our staff, our clients, and our furry patients! We are so lucky to have you leading our team.

To all the veterans in our community: Thank you for your service and your commitment.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful holiday.
