At the very end of 2024, Dr. Laura and her husband, Scott, welcomed their second child, William. He joined older canine siblings, Mr. Tumnus and Daisy, as well as older human brother, Arthur. A wonderful addition to a wonderful family!

It’s time for our May Staff Highlight!

Meet Dr. Helga, one of our veterinarians, who joined our team at LHV in January of 2024. She says that her favorite thing about working here is the sense of community & family that the clinic has. Everyone enjoys and respects each other and she thinks it bubbles over into our relationship with our patients and clients as well!

Dr. Helga has a black cat named Banana, an Australian Shepherd named Tripp and two old horses named Ruffian and Bonita.

Outside of veterinary medicine, she enjoys spending time with her family, which consists of two little toddler ladies and a patient husband, and introducing them to her favorite things such as horseback riding, soccer and adventuring!

Tis the season for black fly bites! Black flies (aka buffalo gnats) like to hang out in damp or grassy places this time of year and bite dogs in thinly-haired areas like their bellies and armpits when they lay down. Their bites are a dramatic dark red to maroon color for the first day, then slowly spread out into a lighter red “bullseye”-looking rash. Most lesions resolve within 2-3 days, and typically they cause no itchiness or discomfort. Often people worry that the bullseye lesion means their pet has been exposed to Lyme disease, but the rash associated with Lyme disease in humans is not seen in dogs.

It’s National Veterinary Receptionist Week!

We want to take a minute to celebrate our dedicated and amazing receptionist team. We are fortunate to have such a great reception team who works hard to make sure appointments are made properly, phones and emails are answered, and that pets get all the snacks they deserve!

April Staff Pet Highlight!!

This month we are introducing you all to the Smith kittens, who each belong to one of our Practice Manager Hannah’s three boys! There’s Wonder (brown tabby with white), Phoenix (brown tabby) and Captain Boots (tuxedo). They often also go by Wonder-boy, Captain and Phi-Phi. They are all Domestic Shorthairs and are 2 years old.

They have a variety of favorite snacks but Wonder is the most mischievous and will eat any and all human food, and has been known to run off with an entire muffin in his mouth. They all adore Squishville toys that belong to Hannah’s son Sebastian.

Their most favorite activities are as follows. Wonder love trying to escape out the front door and eating, Phoenix loves getting the zoomies, and Captain loves cuddling.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that this is my last day at Lake Harriet Veterinary. It has been an honor and privilege to work with you and your pets since our opening in 2007.

I am deeply grateful to have worked with the most incredible and dedicated team. I am also appreciative of the opportunities that Dr. Jim and Dr Cathy have given me.

I am sad to leave such an amazing group of friends and co-workers, but I am excited about this next chapter in my life. I wish all of you the very best. Wendy N.
